His father is very proud of him, but can’t understand his romantic involvement with Jenny Willis.

Lionel is the apple of his mother's eye, and has a bright future ahead. Upon graduating college, Lionel becomes an electrical engineer for a large electronics firm. Eventually, Lionel marries Jenny and they have a daughter together.
