I remember mr. Lanphere when I was a child between 14 to 16. To me, he was a tall slender and very handsome man. Recalled how very kind he always was. This was in the years between 1951 and 53.

Remembering Prent's visits to us in Maine, lunch in Westerly, seeing his amazing decoys and talking about the old days growing up with his cousin Jane (my mother-in-law). Sending my condolences to your family.

You came into my life through your granddaughter Janel (my daughter in law), and meeting you was an unforgettable time for me. I was in awe of your talent, your stories, and your spunk. Your mold has been broken, as well as the hearts of the people whose lives you touched along your colorful journey.
Now you can keep a watchful eye on them birds from above....a whole new perspective!
