Lionel died in Ocean Grove, N.J., Aug. 16, 2005. He was 88.

Information about Lionel is sparse at best. We do know that he was considered the Class of 1943 poet. He wrote, starred in, and directed Theatre Intime productions. In addition, he was an award-winning poet in the post-college world, and tried his hand at playwriting and fiction. In his earlier days, he was considered one of the Ford Modeling Agency's top 10 models.

Surviving are his dear friends, Nellie Hixon, Nancy and Ben Oliphant, Patricia Hogan-Fisher, and his nurse's aide, George. Assuredly, they will all miss Lionel's friendly smiles and conversations. We extend our condolences.
