They were married for 43 years ; from this union was born his lst child Tarla Lonnette and his 2nd child (DJ) Lonzie Edward Kellam J r for his name sake. Upon returning to the states he worked briefly for Lockheed Martin. He also worked as a butcher for several years. Lonzie retired from Publix Supermarket.
