Memories and Condolences
for Gregory Lanpher
October 31, 2009
I am so saddened by the loss of Dr. Lanpher who was not only a wonderful employer, but an awesome friend. I worked with Dr. Lanpher, from day one, 23 years ago. I retired two years ago, but stopped by the office often to see him and all my wonderful coworkers. I got to see him the week before he left for vacation and he shared the excitement of Sarah's upcoming wedding, her going to law school, Ryan living and working in California, and Shelly in college. He was so proud of his wife and children. I was so previlaged to work for such a wonderful doctor and will never foget the wonderful retirement party he gave me. What a special family. I am so glad he was in my life and I will miss him dearly. Karen, may God give you and your family comfort, peace, and joy. He loved you dearly.

I was deeply sadened to learn of the death of Dr. Lanpher. He was my allergist for over 20 years and helped me lead a much fuller life than I might otherwise have had. He was always personable and interested in me as a person, not just a patient. He organized a staff that continues to be helpful to me even though I left York over a year ago. I am sorry to learn of this so late and hope that his family will find comfort in Dr. Lanpher's life and love.

Dr. Gregory Lanpher was My Doctor for eight years, and the best Doctor, I got to know him quite well, he became a friend who cared about you, and could remember things I had told him on other visits. No one will ever be as good,careing and thoughtful. I will miss him so much.

Dr. Lanpher was a great doctor. He was great with my son. It was propably the only doctor visit that my 5 year old son looked forward to going to. After every visit he would let my son buzz his "beeper" on his cheek :) He will be greatly missed.

Dr. Gregory Lanpher was a very kind man. He helped me determine my allergies and begin on the road to getting relief and well. His decent good heartedness will be missed- he was a very nice man.

Dr. Greg Lanpher has been my doctor for almost twenty years now. Ive been to many many doctors as my health problems are numerous, and may I say I will most likely never meet another doctor who showed his love for his job and his patients the way Dr L did.
I clearly recall the day I walked out of his old office thinking this guy is a keeper! Little did I know how special of a doc he would turn out to be!
Ive never met a doc who openly shares his personal life and feelings with you the way he did.
Yeah sometimes we waited a bit to see him but after it was always grateful appreciation and the comfort of knowing I was in good hands that I left with. I truly entrusted my life to him and took his advise to action.
This is one doc who you could count on for protecting your welfare and not calling you crazy.
He supported me in so many ways and gave me knowledge beyond most doctors cares.
He even managed to lift my husbands dreams to flight by supporting his artwork. Always on time and needed he would comment or call on Paul (my hubby) to encourage his artwork.
Dr. Lanpher was a true gift to this world and will be missed terribly by so many.
Ive never had a doc say he said a prayer for me before but this man did.
He openly shared his feelings of love and pride for his family and it was not uncommon for him to tell me of his upcoming plans with his kids or wife he had a happiness in his eyes at every word about them.
I will be praying for the Lanphers often and thank you so much for sharing your husband and father with us his contributions to our lives will not be forgotten.
His place as a physician will be very hard to fill. As well as his gift to humanity as a whole.
I cant believe I wont see him next time I have to go in that office, Im not sure I can go back...time will tell.
Dr. Lanpher I miss you...my tears are many, my gratitude deep God has found a truly exceptional addition to heaven!
Again sincere prayers to the Lanphers.

I'm not sure how to put this or how to say this with out tearing up a thousand times over, I will try because I owe it to him, Dr. Lanpher in the first time I met him was because my wife had mentioned to him that I was a artist that worked in a whimsical style, he told her that sounds like something he would love to see tell your husband to bring some art by, so a week later he told Pearl to give us a call and ask if we could bring some art by for him to look at it.
He took the time to look at my art compliment me and proceed to select three pieces and said he would love to add my work to his collection,he also in the mean time became a instant friend, I asked him how could he like my work considering I'm no Pino, he said when your good your good and told me my work has that special something, well I have always remembered that whenever I doubt my work/abilities.
I look forward to the day when I can truly tell him what his support means to me.

I just found out about Dr. Lanpher and am so saddened by his passing. While he was "just our doctor", he showed us he was so much more. While examining my son, the two of them started discussing art, which led to an extended discussion and a "tour" of his Hanover office and the artwork on his walls. I'll never forget the time and attention he gave to me and my boys, especially that one day. He didn't have to, and I'm sure his day was very busy.
He will be greatly missed by our family.

Dearest Lanpher Family,
I have been with the practice for over 46 years. When Dr. Lanpher first took over for Dr. Furstenbeg and Dr. Halle I was a bit skeptical. Over the years Dr. Lanpher has been a good friend, a great confidant, and an amazing doctor. I will miss him dearly.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you, his family, that he loved so much.
William Kaucher

Please accept my deepest synpathy to the family of Dr Lanpher. I started seeing Dr Greg in 1984 when he took over Dr Halle's practice and remained a loyal patient even when living out of state. He was a very special man and an exceptional doctor. He will be greatly missed by all that ever knew him.

I would like to send my deepest sympathy to the family of Dr. Lanpher. I was in the capable hands of Dr. Frank Furstenberg, Dr. Carlton Halle and finally Dr. Lanpher during my years dealing with asthma. All three were special Doctors. Recently I put my grandaughter in the capable hands of Dr. Lanpher as she has asthma. I'm so sorry that she will never get to meet Dr. Lanpher. He was a special man. I was shocked to receive the letter telling me of his passing. He was much too young to pass. My prayers are with you at this sad time.

Dear Lanpher Family:
I am shocked and deeply saddened to learn today of Dr. Lanpher's passing. One person can make a difference and Dr. Lanpher made many! The medical community lost a dedicated physician and his patients' lost a compassionate healer. Dr. Lanpher is the first doctor to give me his home phone number if I needed it. His care and concern for my health was a refreshing surprise. He was a "people-person" and a gift to our community.
When I was taking care of my mother during her battle with cancer, and then grieving her death, Dr. Lanpher truly understood, and along with his staff, wrote a kind letter of sympathy in a beautiful card. He adjusted my medical care as I adjusted to my loss. He understood the grieving body and soul; he understood the human heart. I was so touched by his kindness and appreciated it greatly.
I enjoyed my visits as I was sure to leave his office with more knowledge than when I walked in about any topic! I also enjoyed the wooden toys and artwork in his office, a small reflection of his varied interests from a very interesting and gifted physician. Thank you for sharing him with us. I know that I am healthier and wiser having had the opportunity to be his patient.
Dr. Lanpher will always be fondly remembered, respected, and appreciated. I pray that God will comfort you during this very difficult time in your life.
August 28, 2009
My family and i would like to send our deepest sympathy to the family of Dr. Lanpher. He was a great doctor and always made my daughters experinces with getting shots and enjoyable one. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this sad time.

Dear Lanpher family,
We extend our prayers and deepest sympathy to all of you. The loss of this man is and will be a devastating to patients, friends, and family for a long time to come. I, myself, have lost a most encouraging, enlightening, caring, brilliant allergist/internist, confidante, and friend -- a true Renaissance man in today's world -- not only a solver of medical problems, but a physician of physicians. Having been a patient for over 23 years -- first in the York office and then in the Baltimore office -- he enabled me to feel well after decades of illnesses since childhood. He encouraged me in my artwork and was the first purchaser of one of my theorem paintings. He offered advice and sympathy when close family members passed away. It is as if a part of me has died; I could not feel any sadder had he been a member of my own family. My daughter, also a patient, is affected in the same way. His extraordinary obit shows but a tiny fraction of this fabulous man of numerous and varied interests -- a true 'people' person. May your fond remembrances of him one day serve to turn your sorrow into joy. May God keep Dr. Lanpher always in His care.
Joan Marra Bunk and family

Dr. Lanpher was my allergist for 15 years. I first developed asthma and allergies in second grade, and continued to be his patient until I graduated college. I am extremely saddened at the news of his death. I always looked forward to my appointments with Dr. Lanpher. He was a great listener and cheered me on through all the stages of my adolescence. I remember many middle of the night phone calls, him opening the center early with Alona when I was very sick, and the help he gave my mother and I as we struggled to keep me well. I will never forget Dr. Lanpher. My mother was able to attend his viewing, but I was not. I wish I would have had the chance to speak to Mrs. Lanpher and express to her how much her husband touched my life. His kindness and hard work will never be forgotten.
Dr. Lanpher...Thank you for everything you have done for me.
Dr. Lanpher's Staff...Thank you for all of your hard work. Stay strong and know that you are in my thoughts as well. I miss seeing your smiling faces!

To the Lanpher family,
May happy memories carry you through this sorrowful time. As a long time patient, it was always a pleasure at Christmas to make candy for him to take home.He always commented about his mother-in-law enjoying it. I can recall how he talked to me about Ryan liking Mike Mussina because I was from the same town of Montoursville. I remember getting a large picture and having it framed for Dr. Lanpher to give to his son and how happy. We always had a joke about me making fudge and he would sell it at the office. He was loved by his patients as well as his associates. We will miss him.
Hold on to your memories, and let them guide you during this time of sadness.

Dear Mrs. Lanpher, Family, and Staff,
What a joy it was to know and interact with Dr. Lanpher over the twelve years that Vinnie was his patient. He was happy, funny, compassionate and competent. We truly felt like we were his friends as we joked, and shared the joys of our families lives. We will keep him and you in our hearts and prayers.
God Bless You!

Lanpher family,
Remember, Greg is only as far away as a memory. And your Creator is as near as a prayer. Take strength from this and know he is smiling down on you.
I was a patient for some time. Know that you, his family were very important to him. His eyes twinkled when he spoke of you. 13-14 years ago when my grandson would come with me to get my shots, he got the lollipop and I got the shots. That is a fond memory we still talk about today as he is a teenager. It will be impossible to fill this Doctors shoes. He was one of a kind. There was never a time when I left his office that I was not confident that things were going in the correct direction. His staff always seemed like "family". May God Bless you in this difficult time.

To the Lanpher Family,
Please accept my sincere sympathies for your loss. I am lifelong friends with Jill and Rich and attended their wedding at your home. That was the only time I met Greg, but Rich has spoken of him often over the years. The admiration, respect, and compassion that came through when Rich spoke about Greg was something that always stuck with me. Along with the many heartfelt comments from his patients, friends, staff and colleagues, it is clear that he had a tremendously positive affect on everyone he encountered. I hope that you can find some form of solace in knowing that so many people were so blessed and grateful to have known him. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear, Lanpher Family and Co- Workers.
Greg was a great person, a fabulous doctor and friend. He always cared. When other doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong he would take the time to find out. About 8 years ago he saved my live and my family and friends were very grateful that he did. I never minded waiting to see him, even if it took hours, because I knew you were a patient not a number. As a mother it was down time for me. He will be greatly missed by me and many others. It will be hard for anyone to ever fill his shoes, he was an exceptional person. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Just remember the good times, stories and memories!

To the Lanpher Family,
My families prayers and thoughts go out to you. Dr. Lanpher has treated my son for almost three years and he was the best of the best. Very compasionate, patient, understanding and always made sure that you understood what was going on with you.
My son who is now 3 1/2 has severe allergies to peanuts. He knew just what to do and say to make my son comfortable especially when he had to get the allergy test. We were so very comfortable with Dr. Lanpher.
He will be greatly missed.
May God be with the Lanpher family.

Dear Family and Staff of Dr. Lanpher,
My son, daughter, and I send you our deepest sympathies and condolences on your loss. We were greatly shocked and saddened on 8-13 when we came in for our shots and learned of Dr. Lanpher's death. He was a great man, as well as an excellent doctor, and we will miss him terribly.
There is so much I would like to say, but I know I do not have the space. In summary, Dr. Lanpher was my doctor for the last 13 years, my son's for about 9, and my daughter's for about 7. However, he knew my kids for most of the time that he knew me because I would bring them with me for my appointments. Over those years, he was always interested in their activities, especially their sports and their future plans. He gave them advice on these subjects, particularly baseball with my son (now 21) and becoming a doctor with my daughter (almost 18). He also would share with them about his children, which they loved to hear. An excellent example of this was my last appointment (on 7-20-09) when he talked to my daughter about her starting college in the fall and playing sports there and went on to tell us about his latest family joys and vacation plans. He was so happy about his family life! We loved all the time he spent with us and will feel his loss every time we have an appointment.
Our prayers are with you all.

My condolences to Dr Lanpher's family. He was a fantastic allergist, and I truly enjoyed the short conversations we had every couple months when I came in for my appointments. Even at the end of the work day he would still have that twinkle in his eye that spoke volumes about his love for his job and life.
August 13, 2009
Mrs. Lanpher and Family,
I am so sorry for you loss. Dr. Lanpher will be missed by many, many people. On one of my last visits I thanked Dr. Lanpher for being such an understanding and caring Doctor. (I think he actually blushed a little).
My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.

My most heartfelt condolences to the Lanpher family. Though I only got to meet Karen a few times, Greg often spoke with a somewhat soft excitement whenever speaking of taking trips to see and spend time with his family. I hope that in some small way, any of the wine that I provided that you enjoyed with him helped heighten any family events, large or small. Greg was a joy to work for, and as a young professional he showed me the same respect he would have if I had been doing what I do for over 20 years. He was warm, always friendly, and very loyal. Having patrons like Mr. Lanpher are what drives me to succed in my passion in life. He will be truly missed, but not forgotten.
God bless to all of the Lanpher family.

Dear Karen and family and staff,
Im terribly saddened to hear of the death of Dr Lanpher. I know he died in a place he loved with his family he dearly loved. We often discussed the Blue Lady and what he was doing there. We have many great memories from there before Les's death.
Doctor Lanpher was an incredible doctor and friend. We came to him when he was still on Park Heights. Les would spend so much time there, he would take out the trash and fill the water cooler. Dr Lanpher diagnosed Les's hidden asthma when other doctors told him he worked too hard or it was in his head.
Doctor Lanpher helped us through many bumps in the road, medical and otherwise. He offered support though Les's cancer diagnosis, medical emergencies and ultimately his death. He has been there with much support for my family and I.
We always talked about our families and agriculture. He was always interested in what was going on on our farm and often told us stories about his ag backround and his dad.
I will desperately miss Greg, he was like a big brother to me.
I am so sorry for your loss. He was a great man. The obituary said it all.

Dear: Mrs Lanpher & Family
I am sorry to hear about the lost of your love one. I'll certainly keep you in my prayers. I learned of his death today when I went to the office for my appointment. I met Dr. Lanpher in Oct. of 2008 he was a great doctor. I'm really shocked and sad because I really liked him. He talked to you with much wisdom and concern for your health. I was just in to see him the last week of July. I made him laugh when I told him I was going to give the asthma and allergies an eviction notice because I have not received any rent payments from them for living in my body Dr. Lanpher let out a really big laugh. I will always remember the smile on his face. I thank the Lord for the short time that I knew Dr. Lanpher.

Shock and sadness are overwhelming when we can find no earthly reason to help us understand why Dr.Lanpher was called Home so quickly- but we do know God called a wonderful man Home.
He has touched so many lives, and will be remembered as a man with great compassion and caring- a man who always strived to improve the quality of life for those of us with asthma and allergy problems. He listened with his heart, and you just knew he wanted to help you improve. You were not a number with him, but a very special person who received his full attention for as long as it took. He made sure you understood what the problem was, and what action could be taken. And he loved to share little stories about family. The last time I saw him, he met my grandson and had quite an interaction with him.
May his family and staff be cradled in God's abiding love as they say farewell to this wonderful man. Please know his patients share in this loss, also, and we hold you in our thoughts and prayers.

I am totally shocked and devasted by the news of Dr. Lanpher's untimely death. He was not only my allergist, but my psychologist, psychiatrist, internist and more. When I moved to Frederick, I traveled to Park Heights for my shots and doc visits. When I moved to RI, I was so upset that I had to leave his practice and find someone new. And while living in RI, Dr. Lanpher was the first doctor I turned to when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. He was like an older brother, who I think knew me better than I knew myself. When I moved back to MD, I made an appointment to see him as soon as I could get one. I was his patient for 20 some years and he always made you feel like you were his favorite and only patient. He was a one of a kind doctor who spent time getting to know his patients, not just their medical records. And he let each patient into his life by talking about himself and his family as if you were a family member yourself. My thoughts and prayers are with the Lanpher family. Dr. Lanpher will be sorely missed.

Dear Karen and family,
Our memories with you go back to AAU basketball where Kelly played on Shelley's team. Before, during, and after that time, Kelly was Greg's patient. The two of them had great sports chats during our visits. He was always genuinely interested in her stories. The obituary was so well done, and captured his "larger than life" life. You are in our prayers.

Dr. Lanpher will hold an special place in our hearts. When our daughter (who was an employee) was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma in 2003, he called us and extended open arms to our family. An exceptional obituary for exceptional man... especially creative, thoughtful and captured both the doctor and the man. I know he leaves a vast void. Our prayers are with the entire Lanpher family

To the Allergy & Asthma Specialist Family,
We have been patients there for over a year, and truly I was beyond shock to hear of the death of my doctor, friend, coach, and resource for all of my questions!!!! I had a lot too!!
My family all are patients of his, had unforgettable conversations with him, and will never forget him! He told my son when he became a professional football player that he was going to come and watch him play, and take all the credit for his lungs!! LOL
His expertise has truly helped my breathing and allergies, and I will never forget the day he gave me not one inhaler, but TWO!! The Flanagan family will truly miss our friend and doctor, Dr. Lanpher!!! We will be keeping his family in our prayers!

Our hearts and prayers are with you today as you celebrate Greg's life. We rejoice in the hope of a better world, and that great reunion on the other side.
We cherish all our memories. The Lanpher family reunions are especially fond memories now. The time at the beach house in 2000 was so very special for us. Greg and all of you were such great hosts.
These guest book entries are such a testimonial to Greg's life, and to how he used his God given talents and ability to love and care for people. What an inspiration!

Dear family and staff of Dr. Greg Lanpher, I was totally shocked to hear of his passing. I have been a patient of his over 23years (when he had an office on Park Hts. ave in Baltimore). I used to joke with him that I knew him before his hair changed color.We would always share stories about our kids. He told me about his trip to England and how much you guys Really enjoyed yourselves. I pray all of God's blessings on you and want you realize how much he is loved, admired and respected by patients like me.

I had the privilege of working for Dr. Lanpher for 6 ½ years (from 1997 to 2003). I can look back over that span of time with lots of wonderful and unforgettable memories of a great staff that was more like a family than just “co-workers” and our fearless leader, GBL, who was more like a father-figure than a boss. Dr. Lanpher had true compassion for his patients and did whatever he could within his power to help them…even when it wasn’t his area of expertise. This extended to his staff, as well, as I remember his generosity and compassion during family emergencies or personal illnesses. He was there to help take care of us! Our efforts to keep his schedule on time were futile because to him it was not about time and schedules, it was about his patients and he took as long as he felt was necessary with each of them. As soon as he entered a patient’s room, his charismatic personality made them forget they had been waiting so long to see him and he would make them feel as though they were his only patient of the day. I have so many memories of Dr. Lanpher… his excitement when a new painting he had gotten for the office would arrive, his love of his coffee and listening Rush Limbaugh in the alcove, and him showing up after work at one of the office teams Relay for Life events and walking the track wearing his dress shoes!.... just to name a few! He and I shared a love for being “baseball parents” and spent lots of time sharing the stories about our sons and their games, laughing and comparing notes about how terrible the umpire’s calls were! I could go on and on! Dr. Lanpher touched my life and the lives of many others and will be greatly missed! My thoughts and prayers are with Karen and the family. May God give you the strength, comfort and courage you need to get through this time of great sorrow!

I was extremely saddened and shocked to hear of the passing of Dr. Lanpher. Dr. Lanpher has treated numerous members of our family and everything people are saying about him is true. My heart goes out to the Lanpher family and all of the employees who have worked for him at the various offices.
God Bless all of you and may he bring peace and comfort to you in the days, week and months ahead.
Dr. Lanpher was the best!

Dear Lanpher Family,
I have been a patient of Dr. Lanpher's for the last eight years. During that time I had found not only a doctor but a friend. How proud he was of his family. I as many others are shocked at his passing. This is like losing a member of my own family. God Bless you all. When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.

Dear Mrs. Lanpher, family, and staff,
We just found out yesterday (8/11) about Dr. Lanpher's passing. Our family is very sad and shares in your grief--there are no words to express our sadness. He treated our daughter for many years for her asthma and was always there with a listening ear and to help and guide us.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
We will pray for the repose of his soul and that God comfort you in this time of sorrow.
May God bless you all!

Isaac McCarth
August 12, 2009
Our deepest sympathies and condolences to the Lanpher family--Dr. Lanpher has been treating our son Isaac for nearly 10 years, for asthma and allergies. He always took time to talk about the fun things in life. He and Isaac shared stories about Philmont Scout Ranch. I will never forget him telling us about being there when the astronauts landed on the moon in 1969. Isaac was looking forward to telling him about the Eagle project he is working on at our next visist. And when Isaac was younger and thought he wanted to be a pitcher, Dr. Lanpher spent at least an hour one Friday night teaching him how to pitch correctly. Most recently Isaac has been very opposed to allergy shots and told Dr. Lanpher he frankly didn't think they were helping him. Even though Doc knew that wasn't true; for without the allergy shots Isaac could not have hiked Philmont twice, played baseball all these years and throw shot, and discus; the caring, understanding man that he was, Dr. Lanpher said "lets take a little break and see where we are in 6 months". And here it is, almost time to go back. Just won't be the same without Dr. Lanpher. I hope his family feels the love of all his patients at this time. We are all so much better off for his time here on Earth. Thank you for sharing him with us these last years and may your memories help you thru these next years until you are all together again.

To the Lanpher Family,
My son and I just met Dr. Lanpher for the first time about 2 weeks ago. The first thing I noticed about him was his caring manner and how he spoke to me. This appointment was actually for my son and he even got me on the table and told me I had allergies and gave me something to try and this visit wasn't even for me! He really took the time to talk with us and explain my son's situation. The ironic thing is that we weren't supposed to have this appointment until the end of this month but was able to get it moved up a month earlier. If it hadn't been for that, we would not have gotten a chance to meet this wonderful man. I am sure he is going to be missed by many. Thoughts and prayers to everyone who knew him.

To all who knew him, worked for him or ever spoke with him...we have lost a wonderfully talented, loved and cherished man. My husband & I met him over 25 years ago and have both been/are patients and the comfort you felt in his presence is unheard of in today's medical society. We both were devastated when we heard the sad news of Dr. Lanpher's passing. He always talked about his beach house because he knew I loved the beach and he was always caring of our family and would share wonderful stories of his family. When you left his office you knew you wanted to hear more from him. His obit says it all and is a great tribute to a great man. He will be missed by anyone who had the priviledge of meeting him. Our sympathy to the entire Lanpher family but, know that he IS making someone smile somewhere and is doing what he loved best.

To the family of Dr. Lanpher I send my sincere and heartfelt condolences. I just found out today of his passing. I have been a patient of his for more than 20 years. He always joked about how thick my Patient Record was, and laughingly chatised me for missing an appointment. Dr. Lanpher was a wonderful, caring, and highly educated doctor who kept up with the latest medicines to treat my allergies and asthma. I will surely miss him. God bless you all because He is the One who will bring you through this sorrowful time.

Thinking of you and hoping you will find comfort in special memories.
Ten years ago I came to see Dr. Lanpher for the first time. My appointment took seven hours that day. Dr. Lanpher told me what was wrong and started me on my treatment. I will always be greatful that our paths crossed in this life time. He was a Class Act. I will miss him.

I, too, was shocked and saddened at the news of Dr. Lanpher's passing. I was one of his patients and was very impressed at how Dr. Lanpher would take the time to listen and coordinate a treatment plan with me rather than just throwing a prescription at me. I also enjoyed his wonderful sense of humor. I always looked forward to my appointments with Dr. Lanpher and will very much miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
August 11, 2009
Dear Karen, Ryan, Sarah and Shelley,
My deepest sympathy goes out to your entire family at this devastating time. Dr. Lanpher was the most amazing Doctor and Friend to many, especially my Mother who admired his hard work and dedication to his family and work. I have not seen you all for many years since the children were little and my sister and I had the chance to babysit and we could see what an amazing person he was! I have been hearing about you all and your wonderful life throughout the years from my mom. Greg was taken way to soon but for some reason God must have needed the best Doctor around for his world.
May God give you all the strength to get through this tragic time and may his wonders remain in your hearts forever knowing that he has touched so many.
Thinking of You all,
Hope ( Messersmith ) Gracey

Lanpher family,
My son was one of Dr. Lanpher's very first patients in York, PA. Michael was born with asthma and we struggled to get the right type of help for him. Dr. Lanpher stood up against pediatricians and other doctors to work by our side and help our son through his first years. It is our opinion that our son is alive today mostly because of his care and understanding as a doctor.
When my son turned 3, he had an appointment and Dr. Lanpher had just recently moved to his South George Street address. On Michael's 3rd birthday, Dr. Lanpher shook my hand and said congratulations--my son was alive due to my perseverance and love. Little did he know that in my heart I have always given him most of the credit. Today, Michael is a chef who graduated from the Culinary Institutes of America and we count our blessings he is always with us.
Please thank all your family for sharing your husband, father, and son with us as he was a blessing to us and our family.
August 10, 2009
Dr. Lanpher will be missed by the communities he cared for. His bedside manner was wonderful and he always had time to hear a story, tell a joke or be involved in whatever mattered to each patient regardless of time (or schedule!). I am shocked to hear the news but have no doubt that this man is in a better place.
My prayers go to heaven for your family Dr. Lanpher, you will be missed greatly.

Dearest Karen and Family,
My deepest sympathy goes out to all of you! I am so very sorry to hear of your sudden loss. Dr. Lanpher was such a wonderful man! My Mother, as his Hair Stylist, told me many great things about him. She always looked forward to his visits to the salon, as they had nice conversations about his lovely family, etc. My sister and I actually babysat his children many, many years ago. Such a caring, compassionate family ~ they truly made us feel welcome in their home. I can't believe how much Ryan, Sarah, and Shelley have grown. They had a terrific father and Karen, such a wonderful husband. I cannot even begin to imagine what you are going through. My hear pours out to you at this very difficult time in your lives. I pray that God will give you strength, healing and may he hold you in his arms for continued love & support. Words cannot express my deepest sympathy to all of you and your extended family.
As we all continue to pray for you ~ we will truly remember such a dynamic man, father, husband, doctor, friend, son, brother and a mentor to ALL.
Rest in Peace, Dr. Lanpher. Your Memory will Live on Through Your Beautiful Family. We will never Forget!

Dear Mrs. Lanpher & family,
I am so overcome to hear about the doctor's passing. I have been a patient of his for nearly 20 years. He has also treated my daughter, now 23. What a wonderful man he was! After so many years, we had developed an easy rapport & I will miss his sense of humour almost as much as his professional care. I never left his office confused about my condition; he always took the extra time to explain fully. He often spoke of you all & I know how much he loved you. He will be greatly missed by all of his patients & I count myself among them.
With kindest Regards,

Dear Mrs. Lanpher and Family:
I wanted to express how sorry I am to hear about the loss of your husband and father. He was a wonderful man. He was my son's doctor. My son is autistic and he always showed great care with him. Talking to him and caring about his concerns. He always took the time needed and got down to my sons level talking about looking for the boogers. He also talked to us about his art. We always enjoyed going to see him. We will miss him greatly. I know that you will miss him so much in the next days and months. Just know that you will all be in our thoughts and prayers. And know that he is now in a better place now enjoying the things that he did here. He will be missed.

Dearest Karen and family,
Paul and I were just talking about you and Greg the other day. We were remembering all the fun we had together.
There just aren't words that will work to express how saddened we are for you, the kids, the Lanpher family and extended family, the Allergy practice family...and everyone who knew and loved Greg --and that's a BIG club.
Greg was one of the most amazingly compassionate, caring, intelligent and funny people I've ever met. He will be greatly missed by so many.
My heart is very, very heavy for all of you.
I am so sorry.
Sending love and prayers.

An exceptional obituary for someone that sounds like an exceptional man... especially creative, thoughtful and artfully well-written.
I was the only member of my family who never even met Dr. Lanpher but I've been hearing his name regulary for 25 years as he treated my brother, mother, father, and a friend. I know he leaves a vast void.

I am so sorry for the loss you now must bear. In my brief time working in the office, I learned much under Dr. Lanpher's tutelage. He WAS a good man and well loved by all. I pray that your grief is tempered with the joy of his life and your lives together.
Sincerely,
