Lonnie W Sharbono. The best daddy in the world, especially in my eyes ... his daughter. He was a loving and dedicated husband. He adored my mom and cared for her unselfishly during her long illness. He was a committed employee, and earned the respect of his employer and fellow employees. His integrity and honesty was superior and all that knew him would agree. His neices and nephews loved him dearly and he made each one feel special. Sitting next to him in his famous chair was my special thing to do and feel his caring arms around me. I never had a cross word with my dad ... ever. We had a wonderful relationship and I miss him each and every day of my life. He was my ROCK and always had an encouraging word ..... he hung the moon and stars in my world. He was 42 when I was born and was the gift of a father and grandfather rolled up in one. I love you daddy. See you in Heaven one day soon
