Robert "Bob" Lanier Obituary
Bob is going to be missed by his family whom he loved so much, including his loving wife of almost 52 years, Rhonda Lanier; children, April Lanier and Robert "Rob" Lanier; grandchildren, Michaela (Sam) Taylor, Addison Lanier, Dawson Fields and Braydon Lanier; great-grandchildren, Sutton and Barras Taylor; sisters, Irma Larrimore, Kay (David) Grandgeorge and Evelyn (Bubba) Aimar; brothers, Tommy (Pennie) Lightfoot and Buddy Lanier; as well as a number of nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Denver and Lucille Lanier, and brothers, Dennis and Bill Lanier.
Bob was best known for his hard work and took great pleasure in providing for his family. He was currently employed at White Cap Industries and had previously worked for 37 years at Gulfstream Aerospace. He loved yardwork, family gatherings and his Waffle House coffee. Bob's kindness, generosity and unwavering love for his family will never be forgotten.
In lieu of flowers remembrances may be given to the American Red Cross. The family is truly grateful to all blood donors, as a result Bob has received numerous transfusions over the last 2 years.

Mr Bob and his family have been neighbors to my family since his grandchildren were little kids!! I would see Mr Bob every time I visited my family he would be sitting outside smoking and I would say hello how are you and he would say good and you!! He and his family were friendly neighbors and it was a pleasure meeting him. I am praying for strength and healing while the family deals with this grief process and great loss!!! My prayers are that God would wipe your tears and heal your heart in due time.
