Not sure what to say?

Well, I tell you , I was lucky to have Lanny for a brother. He was so many things, loved the family gatherings, of which Lanny always made sure he was there. He loved his family! Lanny could tell stories, and make you laugh so hard!
So now Lanny and my Bob are playing poker in heaven, loved you both dearly.

To the Family: I just recently heard of Landol's passing. My heart breaks for his family. He was a very good friend to my mother, me and my siblings. I remember him as a kind, wonderful, generous man. He helped my mother through a rough divorce with little compensation. He was always willing to help throughout the years. He visited my mother in the nursing home and attended her funeral. I work in the court system and I remember him telling me how proud he was of me. I thought of him as a...

Landy and family. Landy, I just heard about your father and my deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family. I just lost my mother 2 months ago and know how hard it can be. If you got time, contact me. I haven't talked to you for awhile and I look forward to hear from. Again,I'm sorry for your loss. Mike

Pat, Lynne, Vicky, Landy, Craig, Brenda and Jolene,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and I will miss Uncle Lanny's blonde jokes amongst all the other 'funny' jokes and playing cards an so many other wonderful things about Uncle Lanny....:o) He always made me laugh and he always enjoyed the family get-togethers.

God Bless everyone. I Love you all!

Lanny, you will always have a special place in my funny bone and of course heart.

Pat, Craig & family - Words cannot even begin to describe Landol. He was truly one of a kind and one of the most generous and gentlest souls I have ever met. He welcomed me and my children into his family and treated the kids like they were his own. We all have wonderful memories of him that at times make us laugh so hard we cry. Our hearts ache for each and every one of you.

Landol – rest in peace; and don’t you be scooping up all those deals in heaven. Save some of those bargains...

Lynne & family,

Sorry to hear about your dad. I wish I could be there for you. I hope to see you soon. You and your family will be in my prayers.

Karen and family

Uncle Lanny,
We will miss your sense of humor, your kindness and playing cards with you. You had a wonderful smile and it made others want to smile with you. No words can express the gratitude I feel for having had you as a part of my life.

Pat, and family, Landol was the kindest man, and so much fun (jokes). He will be greatly missed. I worked with Landol at Babcock Law Firm, 10 of the years he was practicing law.

I first met Landol when I worked as a Deputy Court Administrator at Anoka County. I remember him as a kind, gentle, nice man. I'm sorry for your loss.
