I never got to meet Lanny, as I am an out of towner. But, he's been on s2 for a very long time, as have I.

Though I know it's not true, I like to think that Lanny, on our behalf, is personally making appeals to the basketball gods... and it feels like it's working.

So deserving of an honor guard. I won't be able to make it but I will be there in spirit.
 
Very sorry to read this. Although we may not all know Lanny personally, we all feel a love for him the devoted Blazers fan. He was us. He was Portland. A Blazers freak. Learning about him just a little bit in here, he was a sweetheart of a man. Thank You Lanny for being you. God Bless his Wife and Family. And his close buddies in here. May Lanny be hanging out with Maurice, Jerome, and Duck talking Blazers. Fly with the Angels Lanny.

Hey, Lanny's immediate family is small, with many being either too old or too far to travel for the funeral.

We need 2 more pallbearers for the services on Wednesday.

Can any of you help?

I will be there. But I have to work in the morning. That kind of means I won’t be dressed well for the occasion. Work boots and work clothes.
Probably not the best choice for a pall bearer?
Though I would have no problem doing it.

That's totally fine!

If anyone asks we'll tell them you're the construction worker in a Village People tribute band!

Seriously, that's fine. Someone else asked if they can wear a Blazer Jersey instead of a black suit. Hell, I'm thinking of wearing my Lillard jersey too.

I pick my son up from school here in Vancouver at 205. If needed, I could have him grab a ride with someone else.
 
Thanks to all of you guys for stepping up...unfortunately the timing will not work out for me to attend but I'll just send my condolences now and hope there's a fitting turnoout for the Dude...The Dude Abides! RIP Lanny! I like the idea of reincarnation and hope Lanny is reincarnated as a future 7'2 Bill Walton clone in Portland and wins a chip with the team down the road playing next to both my grandsons!
 
Unfortunately I am not able to get away from work. We happen to be in our union negotiations this week which happens once every three years. Being the only project manager available because the others are in negotiations, i cant leave the office. :(….
 
really sad to hear this.

being half a world away in new zealand is a gift and a curse, moreso the latter in situations like this.

Lanny and I didnt have too many direct conversations, but he was always a great dude and a beloved member of the community

can we possibly let the Blazers know? they may do a last shout out to him at a coming home game?

RIP my guy and enjoy the great pinwheel in the sky - have fun being courtside :)
 
If some of you can't make the funeral and/or interment Lanny's family and some of us from the forum will be meeting at Buffalo Gap Saloon & Eatery at 6835 S Macadam Ave, Portland, OR 97219 immediately after the interment.

Everyone is invited to come. I will post when we're leaving the cemetery.
