I met him when i was a kid at the L.A Sports Arena. I had got lost from my dad and brother and when I was looking for them i saw him. I walked up to him and said hey Leaping Lanny. He asked where my parents were and I said I went to the bathroom and now i cant find them. He walked with me for a few minutes and we found my dad and brother. I asked if I can get a picture with him and then we took a picture. I shook his hand and he also signed my program. This guy is a class act I mean not only was he very nice but he was concerned for my safety and took time before a match to find my dad. I will never forget that day.

"A rose is never jealous of a violet, and a violet is never jealous of a tulip. They just bloom and do their own thing and then they fall and become fertilizer for the next generation." ~ Lanny Poffo

He is like that one uncle we all have. A child at heart, always able to lighten up a situation, and just does his own thing.

RIP Lanny. So much respect for you for being your own man and never trying to be your brother. You walked your own path and that's what made you a man.

Obviously, his big brother was his hero; he was proud of Randy. I understand that. My brother was mine

I love his attitude. Lannie Poffo you are inspiring. God bless you.

I'm really glad to see he's doing well in his older years. Not like a lot of other wrestlers, broken down, drugged out, or deceased. Good on him.

RIP, "Leapin'" Lanny Poffo. Always got a kick out of his dry wit, delivered with that iconic voice. Also, everybody should have someone in their life who is as proud and supportive of them as Lanny was of his brother Randy. A true brother's keeper.

I love his outlook on life. I watched him as a kid. (and Macho Man too of course)

I saw Leaping Lanny and Macho Man at the North Sydney Forum, in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia . I got his autograph and a kiss . Thank you Leaping Lanny.

"Do your best and forget the rest", that's simple but profound. Seems like a great guy.

Again and again I find that old time pro wrestlers have some of the best advice on how to live a happy , fulfilling life . What Lanny said about different flowers is so deep and profound that when you contemplate about it , it has a very calming almost therapeutic effect on you .

Do your best, and forget the rest.
