1953 - 2017

Bob was a patient and respectful son and brother, a caring and supportive friend, an athlete and a coach, a teacher and department head, a volunteer, a step-dad, a healthcare devotee, a blind man, and a solitary retiree...wait a minute - that's 9 lives, that's enough!

After a somewhat prolonged and often challenging dance with life, Bob died peacefully during a sunny afternoon nap on September 17, 2017.

He is survived by his guide dog Harris, sisters: Dr. Geri Lanman, Edie Kendall, Janice (Paul) Nadon, Susan (Hans) Gryzenhout, and Deidre Lamone; brother, Pat (Wendy) Lanman; stepdaughters: Leslie (Tom) DeRuyter and Kristy (Darren) Blair; along with several step-grandchildren, a few nieces and nephews, friends, and relatives.

He was predeceased by his parents, Marg and Paddy Lanman, his brother Evan in 1984, and brother-in-law Buck Kendall in 2016.

Reverend Stephen London will conduct a Memorial Service on Saturday, September 23, 2017 at 2:00pm at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Parish, 13 Brower Drive, Sherwood Park.
