Bonners Ferry Herald Thursday, Dec 26, 2002
Sherman, Lonnie Gene, 68 passed away on December 18, 2002 at his Bonners Ferry
home after an extended illness.  Services were held on Monday, December 23, 2002
at 10 a.m. at the Free Methodist church in Bonners Ferry, Idaho with burial in
the Grandview Cemetery.
   Lonnie was born on August 8, 1934 in Lily, Kentucky to Herbert and Ruth
(Harvey) Sherman.  He worked for Vendolator Company that made Coca-Cola and
Pepsi Vending Machines.  He painted the wooden parts for them and later painted
metal cabinets for many years.
   He then started his own body and paint shop and also painted big diesel
trucks for a trucking company in Fresno, California.  On June 18, 1954 he
married Donna Foster in Fresno, California.  For him it was love at first sight.
   Over the years he worked as a State Inspector for Building Inspection and
Termite Control, as an exterminator in pest and termite control in Fresno and
did motel and apartment management until retirement.  After retirement they
moved to Bonners Ferry, Idaho.
   He was an active member of the Free Methodist Church in Bonners Ferry, Idaho.
 He was a wood craftsman and artist.  He will be remembered as a private man
with dry sense of humor which many times went unnoticed and his strange dislike
for green on his dinner plate and mayonnaise.  He will be dearly missed by his
family and friends.
   Survivors include two sons; Michael Sherman of Sonoma, Calif.; Robert Sherman
of Modesto, Calif.; three daughters; Linda Irwin, Brenda Sherman and Pamela
Martin all of Bonners Ferry, Idaho; mother Ruth Sherman of Sonoma, Calif.; 17
