Joseph T. Lonzo

Joseph Lonzo, affectionately known to family as “Joe T.” was born October 25, 1955 to Bernice and Willie Lonzo. Joseph was self-preserved and lived life being dedicated to family. He was reserved and mostly stayed to himself. He reminded you of “Uncle Henry” that lived in the back of him. Their motto was you mind your own business and I’ll mind mine. Joseph didn’t speak a lot, but he would test your knowledge when it came to the bible. When he spoke, he said what he meant and meant what he said. He worked until the job closures began and then a battle with illness led him to being disabled. He loved working in his yard and loved the outdoors.
