Lannie's passing was so very surreal and sad to us. I cannot imagine growing up without Lannie. Things would certainly have been a lot duller. When I think of shenanigans, Lannie is one of the first people that comes to mind. Those of us who went to school w him have so many funny Lannie stories. He was truly a hoot, but he had a soft considerate side too. To the family, we are so sorry for your loss. He was a friend to many has left us way too soon. Thoughts and prayers to all who loved him.

I'm so sorry to hear about Lannie. Prayers for his family and all of his loved ones. He was a true friend, and always genuine in character. He was my trucking buddy and I Know he finally made it to the big highway driving a golden chariot. He's probably got it in the wind right now! I'll be joining him again someday. but until then I'm gonna miss my friend.....
