Dearest Linus, I just heard of your passing thru a friend (coffee row). To say the least I was shocked. Your family holds special ties for me, as your parents are my god parents. I remember nothing but great times growing up, our families being together, cousins spending quality time. May God welcome you to his heavenly home, and give grace to the ones left behind. Your cousin Max/Maxine

My deepest condolences to Lonnie and all the families of Linus. I only met him a couple of times ,but he was a great guy , hugs to all ❤️❤️
Thinking back throughout life I had many great memories of my uncle Linus. From back being a young child visiting him and my cousins. As well as being older visiting him in bc, golf tournaments and christmases. We built my mother's deck together , he also showed me how to deep-sea fish and prepare a crab. He will be greatly missed as a uncle and as a friend. Rest in peace❤️
Not long ago, we said goodbye to a remarkable soul who brought so much joy and warmth into our lives. Linus was more than just a brother-in-law; he was a beacon of kindness, a master of all trades, and a constant source of laughter. His humility, his caring nature, and his unwavering support will be deeply missed. He was not just a handyman; he was the glue that held our family together. His love for his children was unparalleled, and his legacy of love and laughter will continue to shine bright in our hearts. Rest in peace, dear Linus. You will always be remembered with love and gratitude.
