Thank you for letting us know. When I last communicated with Lon a few weeks ago I sensed he felt his time was near. The great respect I sense from those who knew him will carry his legacy. I hope to hunt with Liesl and Tokoloshe next year. Gods speed to Lon and comfort to Liesl

I am so sorry to hear this. He fought this thing courageously for so long. This site and all who participate will be much poorer for his passing.

Tremendously sad. I so admired his courage and enjoyed his down-to-earth wisdom from years of experience. I looked forward to meeting him one day. Prayers and condolences.

I knew him only through his posts, but I loved his humor and his contributions here, and will miss that. Sorry not to have met him. As Piet-Vis said, "Happy Hunting."

Very sad to hear. It is difficult for me to explain but when I read a post by Lon I just knew that it was nothing but the truth.
Condolences to Liesl and team Tokoloshe.

So very sad to hear. I never met the man, but I enjoyed reading his contributions here on AH. He seemed very knowledgeable and experienced. My thoughts and prayers to his wife, family and friends. RIP Lon Denny.

That really wrecked my day. In many ways we were kindred spirits. Would loved to have met him personally. Someone post a photo.

We knew it was coming. His battle is over. I am glad for that at least. Was his daughter able to get away and be there? He was so proud of her. Colonel in the air force if I recall correctly. He was retired light colonel. Hopefully, we will see a full obit posted here.

My condolences to his family. We will miss his contributions on AH. Glad to hear Tokoloshe will continue.

I never met Lon but did exchange a few PMs with him over the years. I always enjoyed reading his posts, as they were always respectful and authoritative. Lon will indeed be missed. RIP sir!
