Lonny Demaree dies

He was a regular at the High Street YMCA for years, saw him all the time. But I knew he was in bad shape, he took a terrible fall at the Alabama game last year and was severely injured. Was at the Willows trying to rehab, but obviously never recovered. Sorry to hear this.
 
A great fan and a cool guy.

He had a relative from Jefferson County,
also named Demaree, who suited up for Kentucky during the Mumme/Morris years.

Hate to hear, fine man and huge UK fan. Had several UK football discussions with him over the years. Peace be with you.

Didn't they call him The Mayor of Kentucky Football, or some such thing?
I always enjoyed listening to his post game comments.
 
Very sad to learn of this. I fondly recall Lonny frequently dropping by our tailgate to visit, eat and chat with us.
Great guy, solid man. He will be dearly missed. R.I.P. Lonny ...
 

I dont post that often; in fact I had to find my log in info again but I read the board weekly. I met Lonnie and Larry Vaught outside of the practice facility one day and spoke to them briefly. Both seemed like very good guys. I always enjoyed hearing Lonnie`s take on the team and his passion for UK Football. he was a good fellow! sad to hear!
