I was so sad to learn of Lanny´s passing. My family has known the Riddles since the early 70´s. My grandparents lived on the ranch off Star Avenue. The boys built my brother and I a go-kart that was a source of so much fun. We used to swing on the ropes and land in piles of hay ( possibly snakes, rats, barbed wire) in the old barn. We sold them my grandfather beloved rifles when he passed. We have watched the family celebrate and grieved with them as well. I saw Lance a couple of year's ago. I never expected that would be the last time. Our heartfelt condolences and prayers to his family. No family should have to face such loss. Please know this life is temporary and hold tight to the day we can hold those we've lost close and never have to say goodbye. Until then may the angels hold you close and give you the strength and comfort you need to get through.

We were very sad to read about Lance's passing. I recall spending time with Lance and his siblings at Riddle Ranches back in the 1960's and 1970's. My paternal grandparents, Scudder and Anna Riddle, lived nearby on Pleasant Avenue. My late brother, Larry Riddle, and I visited Cousin Bob's home frequently. We had fun playing with his children in the haystacks and riding the beautiful ponies at Cousin Bob's property on El Pomar Avenue in Waterford CA.
I last saw Lance at a Riddle reunion of extended cousins back in 2006. We had a very pleasant visit and spoke of our childhood antics growing up in the 60's and 70's. We are so very sorry for this loss and send our deepest condolences to Cousin Bob and family.
Take care and God Bless.

Through many years, spent many hours discussing God, philosophy and nature. Lanny had a good heart and he was my friend. Rest in peace Brother. I'm going to miss you. Life won't be the same without your jokes and your point of view.

I remember Lance having the fastest Vega out there, fast enough to beat Tognotti´s CBR motorcycle at the top of 2nd, blew up the motor and still finished first! Not to mention he gave Loy´s Cuda a run for his money!
RIP Lanny, David Price
