December 29, 1946 — January 24, 2020

Carmel, IN

Lonnie Gilbert Nefouse was born December 29, 1946 to Angela Nahmias Nefouse and Solomon Nefouse, both preceding him in death. He was the oldest of 7 children; 4 brothers and twin sisters.

He graduated from North Central High School and enlisted in the Army. He served in Vietnam and ranked as a Sargent. He was awarded many awards and honors including the National Defense Service Metal, Vietnam Campaign Medal, Vietnam Gallantry Cross, Vietnam Service Medal, Army Commendation Medal, Bronze Star Medal and a Purple Heart.

Lonnie worked in the sporting goods industry with his brothers and eventually started his own insurance agency, Nefouse and Associates. Lonnie loved spending time with his grandsons, playing poker, going to the movies, playing tennis and loved do-wop music and the rat pack. He attended many charity events and often was a title sponsor for many. His generosity was over whelming. He always made an effort to attend his family members and friends’ weddings, b’nai mitzvah, birthday parties and so on.
