    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)

    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'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.

    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.

    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'.

    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.

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

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

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

    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.
