He attended Lake Region Jr. College before entering the US Navy in 1965. While in the Navy, Lonnie served aboard the USS Epping Forest whose mission was to sweep the rivers in Viet Nam looking for mines and other explosives. He was very proud of his military service and enjoyed sharing stories of his service. After he was honorably discharged in 1969, he attended Wahpeton School of Science learning diesel mechanics.
