Dorothy and Betty 

So sorry for your loss . We will miss seeing Lannie across the street as he always kept the flowers and shrubs looking so nice. 
May the Lord ease your pain and fill you with wonderful memories.
God bless you and give you peace.
Love, Bruce and Terri 






Dearest Dorothy and Betty and family,
I am so sorry to learn of Lannie's unexpected passing.   I'm sending prayers for comfort, understanding, and peace as you begin this difficult journey.  I have many memories of Lannie at RBM~I wouldn't even try to count the times he must have said as he answered that telephone "this is Lannie, kin I hep you?"  and I'm sure he was a fixture at the downtown Post Office when he picked up the mail at PO Box 12, there 76+ years, since RBM was established in 1945.  It doesn't seem right to  think of RBM without Lannie sitting at the counter.  I know he will be missed and remembered by many who who came in contact with him.  He was one of a kind, and a valued member of RBM's Family!  
With Love , Care and Many Sympathies,   Angela J. Rader 

I am very sorry for the loss of your Dad..Prayers to all of you..May God comfort you and give you peace

Dorothy & Betty Jean,
So sorry to hear about Lannie. I remember lots of good times with you guys when I was younger. I lost dad last year so I know what a difficult time this is for you. Just keep remembering the good times and know he is in a better place. My love and prayers are with you both.


I had the pleasure of working with Lannie since 1984. Back then I had no knowledge of this business and learned much of what I know from him. He is one of the most knowledgeable men I’ve ever known. The variety of the things he knew about still amazes me. 

He is one of the most customer-centered people I’ve ever known. His motto was “Take Care of the Customer” and he set an example for everyone with whom he worked. Since his passing, I have spoken with many people who knew Lannie, both customers and suppliers. Everyone was in awe of his knowledge, work ethic, resourcefulness and his refusal to give up on anything. 

As 21-year old, just beginning my career at RBM, I thought of Lannie as an older guy. My perception of age has changed a lot since then, but one thing I remember is how hard he worked and I’m talking about hard physical work like unloading freight trucks by hand. He outworked guys less than half his age. Most times, it was futile to try to keep up with Lannie.

Lannie was a very personal man, but everyone at RBM knew how much he loved his wife and daughter. Dorothy was the love of his life and I know he will be greatly missed by his family.

I also wanted to talk about Lannie, not as my boss, or coworker but as my friend. He has helped me countless times, whether it was a problem with my house, or my car, or anything else I happened to be working on. It wasn’t an obligation for Lannie to help you. I was just who he was. 

All of us at RBM are going to miss him greatly, and his absence will be felt by everyone. To a great many of our customers, Lannie was RBM. He was the face they saw when they walked in the door and person who helped them solve their problems. It is not an overstatement to say that Lannie was a great man. Since his passing I’ve told several of his customers that all of us at RBM will do our best to help, but there is no replacing Lannie. He was one of a kind. We would do well to follow his example to “Take Care of the Customer.”





It was my privilege to work with Lannie for many years. He was an extremely talented and knowledgeable with the pumps he built. I will always remember how he answered the phone "This is Lannie Owens how can I hep you " I'll never forget all the times he hepped me when I was working on an air compressor in the field. Lannie will be greatly missed and remembered by everyone who knew him. Deepest thoughts and prayers for the family. May the Lord comfort you.
