Many years have passed since Woodrow '59 and special people stand out – John and Barbara. Our paths have been different, but the joy of marriage longer than 50 years and dealing with Alzheimer's provide a foundation for the whole Lanius clan for generations to come. God's Peace.
Sincerest condolences to the Dr. Lanius family. I worked with Dr. Lanius in the operating room at Medical City. He was always so kind and considerate of the nursing staff. His surgical standards and talent were among the best. He was very well respected by the nursing staff and his peers. My heart goes out to the family, as he should have had many more years to enjoy life.
Although I never met Dr. Lanius I wanted to offer my condolences to the family. I am the grandson of James Risdon (JR) Lanius and the son of Lucille Lanius Adams. I remember hearing many endearing stories about Dr. Lanius and his father. May he rest in peace. William Lee (Bill) Adams

Dear Barbara and Family, Please accept our sincere condolences. I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Lanius in the operating room for over 20 years. I admired him for his personality and skill in the operating room along with his energy and willingness to do what ever was necessary to help the patient recover. John was generous and gracious to the nurses and other hospital personnel and had great rapport with his patients. He will be long remembered as an outstanding surgeon and a gentleman. Gayle and Don L. McCord, M.D.

Barbara, reading about John's passing brought back many memories of the years that we were neighbors. And the "tinkering" really fit him. I am so sorry about your losing him, and my sympathies are with all of you. I remember fondly lots of conversations. Virginia Bowers (neighbor behind you)
