I knew Lanny for close to 30 years and worked with him for 23 of those years. He was friend, a brother “Vietnam Era Veteran” and a respected co-worker that I will miss and fondly remember always. On the job Lanny was known for his “Old School” work ethic; a trait that I and others respected and admired. At home and at work, he was a devoted Father; the role he was most proud of! I met his daughters Megan and Amber only recently, but felt like I had known them forever. If you ever saw Lanny’s desk you would understand why. It reminded me of a typical refrigerator door that you would see in a family’s kitchen; complete with photos, notes and memories of the things he loved most. To Megan and Amber: Lanny spoke of you often and you were always in his heart! Keep his memory close to your hearts and he will always be with you! R.I.P. Lanny
