Gordon was born on December 22, 1933 and passed away on Saturday, September 21, 2019. Son of the late Gordon L. Parker, a former Treasurer of Brown University, and Marie Merriman Parker, Lanny attended Moses Brown School and graduated from St. Mark's School, Southborough, MA, and Brown University, Class of 1956. Lanny attended Officer Candidate School in Newport and served as a Lieutenant in the United States Navy on the destroyer USS Witek (DD-848). In lieu of flowers, a donation to Bethany Home of Rhode Island, 111 South Angell Street, Providence, 02906, in memory of Lanny, would be most appreciated by his family.
Dear Jane, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I often had the chance to sit with Lanny while serving on the Harbor House board, and have fond memories of his gentle smile and quiet sense of humor. Blessings to you all at this sad time.
