Lanny touched the lives of so many and was a blessing to all those who knew him. He exemplified Light and Love In all aspects of his life. Lanny was always joyful, and his smile would light up the room. He welcomed newcomers with open arms and would run out to greet visitors as if they were the most important person in the world.
