Lanny's passed - Funeral Information Update

[SharpeScooterShooter]

I really hope Lanny's wife is doing as well as possible. In one of his last posts he wrote about how he was worried about her being without him after them having each other for so long.

Lanny was already a legend when I started posting on OLive decades ago, he had also already run into some health problems. I'm really sad that everyone who got to experience his brilliant personality has to be without him now but I'm also a little relieved that he can stop suffering both from the health problems and the stress that they obviously caused him. That being said, it's a sad day to be a Blazers fan, we lost one of if not the best of us.

unfortunately the will can recede to nothing. Its sad but beautiful.
My great grandparents married are 22 and 20. Married for over 60 years. He was in perfect health and still on the bowling league when she passed. He passed less than a month later due to a broken heart.
(Written with watery eyes)

She's devastated. Mrs SPD and I are going over to see her later today.

Please bring love from all of us! Having a few private email exchanges and meeting him, this is such a saaaad day….

Lanny left us behind a treasure trove of posts to read again when we bump threads 10 years later to make a random comment relevant to today. He will be missed.

Rest In Peace to the OG

I'll be looking back at his posts for a long time coming.

I'm hoping Lanny was able to see the red wave fail to materialize. I know that would have made him happy. I won't bring any more politics up here. I just know that would have meant something to the man.

 

[PDXFonz]

They should put Lanny's name on the season ticket seats he had.

Can we convince them to do this?

Call it the Lanny rule, most ST holders won’t meet the qualifications of longevity to fall under the Lanny rule.

Dude really was a blazer basketball fan legend.

 

[Idog1976]

Rest in peace my friend, rest in peace.

I didn't know Lanny well but always enjoyed their posts. So much love. I hope the Blazers win one for you smiling down from heaven Lanny. Of course in Heaven we haven't lost a game since 77'.

 

[wizenheimer]

wow...really sorry to hear that

RIP Lanny

if I were more presumptuous, I'd try to get our buddy @Travis Demers to give him a shout out on the radio broadcast, but that's a little aggressive for a platypus.

 

[bobf]

Damn
Rest In Peace Lanny.

I'm working for something like that on the next radio and TV broadcasts. Not enough time to get it done today.

RIP Lanny. Sending love to his family and friends.

 

[Wade Garrett]

Fuck, I'm a blubbering mess right now.

You were always a very good friend to him.
I feel for you, sir.

 

[calvin natt]

Yeah Sly, this must be a very hard day for you. And days yet to come. Most of us knew him as a fellow blazer fan and poster in here. And it still sucks, just terrible. Take care of yourself.

 

[Sedatedfork]

RIP Lanny. A true fan. Sounds like he lived a full life surrounded by love IRL and virtually. Condolences to his family and friends.

 

[andalusian]

RIP

 

[Duckhook]

RIP Lanny. I never met you, but I admired your fandom and love of the Blazers from afar. Always sad to see the best of us go before us. :-(

On that note, I for one would love to see our OT section named after him... i.e. Lanny's OT Forum. It would be a nice lasting tribute to him, and a way to keep him in front of us everyday.

 

[Strenuus]

RIP to a legend. Not all heroes wear capes. Thank you for brightening peoples lives, good sir. You will not be forgotten. Thank you for all you've done. Thank you for being you. We're so lucky and fortunate to have met you.

Sly, let us know if there's anything we can do for his wife and family. Let us know how we can help anyone affected by this.

If it were possible, I'd love for the entire forum to be named after Lanny somehow.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Lanny seemed to be a shining light that lit up the forum. A truly nice man.

 

[stampedehero]

My condolences to his family and close friends. He had a special place in our hearts. I'll miss him. We should leave his avatar in place as a reminder of our dear friend. RIP Lanny.

A Special Memories logo on the opening forum page called Lanny's lane could suffice..

I'm glad I got to meet Lanny

 

[FlashWad]

Never met him, but rest in peace to a true Blazer fan and pillar of the community. Best to his family and loved ones. Hopefully Blazers win it for you Lanny.

 

[Labinot41]

Sorry to hear. RIP Lanny

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

I loved Lanny.

 

[riverman]

I loved Lanny.

He was a good man! Glad I got to meet him and his wife but that was back in 2013...missed the last invitation to see him. I regret that now.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I loved Lanny.

Lanny and I both like your wife better.

 

[Voodoo]

Wow, most unfortunate. I saw him posting just late last week or over the weekend, knew he was in bad shape, but didn't expect it to be so soon. Best wishes to his widow, it's never easy losing someone you love, I lost my dad back in 2010 and I still think of him and have very fond memories of him to this day. Rest in peace OG, the forum won't be the same without you old man!
