Visitation after 8 a.m. Wednesday. By MICHAEL JENNINGS Staff Writer A former manager of a glass-processing plant in Louisville and four associates stand to collect more than $11 million after a jury held that a Dallas-based holding company and its Kentucky subsidiary harmed their business prospects. A Jefferson Circuit Court jury reached the verdict Thursday in a lawsuit stemming from a claim by the holding company, HGP Industries, and the subsidiary, Hunter Glass Corp. Those companies contended that Lonnie D.

Hawkins had violated written and oral agreements by founding a business that competed with Hunter, his former employer. From 1985 until February 1988, Hawkins was manager of Hunter's Louisville plant, which made tempered safety glass and insulated glass. HGP, which bought Hunter from Hawkins and other stockholders in 1987, filed suit in March 1988 against Hawkins and others who helped him form his own glass-tempering company, Star Tempering, in Dayton, Ohio. Then Hawkins; his sons Jeff, Brad and Neal Hawkins; and another partner in Star Tempering, John G. Brown, countersued, claiming that HGP had improperly interfered in their contractual relations.

After the takeover by HGP, Lon nie Hawkins agreed not to compete with it in the glass-tempering business for three years. But he claimed he had an oral agreement to release him from that commitment if he remained as manager of the Louisville plant through 1987. In January 1988, Hawkins was told he would be replaced as plant manager, and HGP President Thomas Stephenson signed a document releasing him from the non-competition agreement. Stephenson testified that he thought Hawkins needed the release only to take a sales job with an independent manufacturers' representative, and he said Hawkins told him he would not form a competing company. Then-Circuit Judge Benjamin Shobe dismissed claims on both sides of the case in March 1990.

Last April the Kentucky Court of Appeals reinstated Hawkins' claim of intentional interference against HGP and HGP's breach-of-contract claim against Hawkins and his partners in Star Tempering. The jury awarded Lonnie Hawkins and his associates a combined $6.58 million in compensation for lost business, emotional distress, harm to their reputations and other economic losses. It also awarded them $4.61 million in punitive damages. Judge Kenneth Conliffe presided at the trial, which began Dec. 13.
