Its taken me several years to sign this guest book. I spent 7 years of my life with this wonderful man. He was an amazing person. So many people loved him including me. We had alot of good times together. He changed my life in so many wonderful ways. It saddens my heart that he can't be with us anymore.. but I know he is in a better place. For all that knew this man they knew him as funny, strong, independent, trusting, loyal, and very outgoing. He was a wonderful father friend and more. Tho he had some trying times in his life he always pulled through. All my love Claudia and Diane white. Tammy, Joey and julie.. I am sure this has broken the hearts of all of all. Mine as well. I love you lanny white ❤ always and forever love connie kenyon
A week ago today we talked, little did I know it would be our last. A child of God, a father, a teacher to many, a friend to plenty! RIP friend.
I had the privilege of working with Lanny several years ago and he was truly a first class individual, one of the nicest and caring person you will ever meet. God Bless You Lanny.
So sorry to hear about Lanny. He is a great man, and will be missed. I worked with him in Stuttgart, and learned a lot from him. Thank you Lanny for your guidance and your friendship.

It will be the little things that you will remember... the quiet moments, the smiles and laughter. And although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories of those little things that help to push away the pain and bring the smiles back. May he rest in Peace.

RIP MY FRIEND. GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY. TILL WE MEET AGAIN IN THAT BIG HEADEND IN THE SKY.
Our thoughts and prayers are with this family. I talked to him daily when I was working in dispatch and he was always in a good mood and always so nice to everyone. We are truly lost a good one. The cable world has lost an amazing man and he is going to be missed daily. I wish that I could be there to support his family in their time of need.
Amber, Mrs Laurie, and all the family, I am so sorry to hear the news of Mr. Lanny's passing. He was always a sweet man. I have known you guys since Amber and I were in first grade and remember spending many nights at your house. I remember laying in a hammock in the back yard and Amber and I playing tricks on him. (I just mentioned this one to Amber a few weeks ago and us still laughing about it) he will be missed. Prayers for you all and lots of love sent your way.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends. I was lucky enough to have Lanny teach me cable, Honored to have known him and blessed to call him my friend. I am passing on his knowledge to the younger cable techs here in Texas. I will truly miss my friend.
Amber, I am so sorry for your loss. I know that words cannot heal the hurt so I will continue to pray for understanding and strength for you and Mrs. Laurie. May you find peace in knowing that you'll always be daddy's little girl and will meet him again <3
