Scott Lanpher Sr. age 35 passed away unexpectedly Sunday night June 4, 2023 at his home in Leicester.  Scott was born Feb. 15, 1988 in Rutland son of Larry and Melissa (Haskins) Lanpher, also of Leicester.  He grew up in Leicester and attended Leicester Central School and Otter Valley Union High School.  He worked at various jobs throughout his life and loved working on anything with a motor, hunting and fishing, but nothing more than his family and friends.  He was always the Big Brother and the family protector from the age of 4 years old when he saved his family from a trailer fire by turning up the stereo and waking them in time to get out safely.  Sunday night he again protected his little brother and ultimately sacrificed his life for his brother.
