I am priviliged to leave a tribute to you. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service.

I wanted to extend my heartfelt sympathy to Deputy Sheriff Lanham's family even though 4 decades have passed since his death. We must never take for granted or forget the devoted service of our men and women who are in the profession law enforcement. He, like other police, put his life on the line every time he put on his uniform. I commend the McLean County Sheriff's Office for including this man's name on the list of those who indeed did die in the line of duty. May he rest in peace and be remembered by his grandchildren, great-grandchildren and beyond.
