Sincere sympathy to Bea,Todd, and Family. Our heart goes out to you in the loss of such a wonderful kind caring gentleman . He was a joy to sit and talk to, had so much history behind him. We will cherish Lanny’s book BROOKLYN WALK BACK IN TIME [1890-1940] The priceless photo collection by Lanny and Danny Harrington certainly told it all. This book was compiled for Queens County seafest 2010. Lanny was approached on short notice but was determined to have it ready for our event and it was ready to go. 100’s of his book were sold . Thanks to Lanny for being one the original founder’s and the push behind the formation of our scenic Brooklyn Marina .He will be sadly by all in the community. Brenda and Jim.

Bruce Ward
Lanny would have enjoyed reading all of the comments from friends from far and near. His writings, book and comments have awaked my spirit on many occasions as they were the only contact I had of my beloved Brooklyn and all the wonderful people of my childhood. My heart lies heavy with thoughts of how distressing the passing of someone so special must be to his family. Be enlightened that he has now become part of the history he so loved. Bruce Ward, Vancouver, BC
Rick & Debbie Kempton
This is my attempt at a poem I sent to Lanny when we would write on Queens County Connections
Our friend Lanny he’s the most
Some say he’s a bit verbose
But we all don’t mind the wind
So long as it’s from the right end
He helps the long winter pass
With his tales of food and gas
He makes our mouths water with tasty delights
And keeps us up on down home sights
Unlucky at cards that a certainty
Lucky at love, isn’t that right Bea
Now and again he gives a fright
But comes through with all his might
One can never say he’s a bore
Our friend Lanny down on the shore
Gone but not forgotten our friend Lanny.
Ruth & Lowell McDonald
Bea & Family,
We are so sorry to hear of Lanny’s Passing. Our prayer’s and thought’s are with you at this sad time.

I have so many great memories of Lanny from my childhood in Brooklyn. He will be sadly missed. I’m sorry I can’t be there today, but I hope to see you all soon.
Clair & Wayne Chandler
Dearest Family of Lanny DeLong,
We join with so many others who knew Lanny in offering our deepest sympathy on his passing. Although it is little consolation at this sad time, it should be of some satisfaction to know that in his passing you can celebrate the end of a very long and productive life.
The measure of a life well-lived is not in how much money one has or what possessions they have accumulated, but rather through the lives they touched and the sorrow they leave behind. If the outpouring of sympathy on his loss is any indication and it most certainly is, you can proudly and confidently say that his indeed was a life well-lived.
May you find peace and comfort in knowing that his loss is felt by all who knew and loved him. Will miss him at the Brooklyn Marina.
In Sympathy,
Clair & Wayne Chandler
Shirley Melanson
Bea& family,
My condolences go out to you at this sad time.I pray that you have the strength to carry on knowing that Lanny is now in
