The ceremony took place at the offices of the Liberia Football Association (LFA) at the Antoinette Tubman Stadium (ATS) in Monrovia on Tuesday, May 26, 2009.

Singing the book of condolence for the famous website was its senior Reporter, Roland M. Mulbah.

Mulbah, on behalf of www.liberiansoccer.com webmaster Mr. Toyuwa Harris, expressed sadness over the timely home going of the former red, white and blue outfit’s head coach.

"Liberiansoccer.com extends deepest condolences to the widow and the rest of the deceased’s family and the entire country for the loss of a compatriot who was committed to national duty and he is on record as the first coach to take Liberia’s Lone Star to its first African cup of nations in South Africa 1996," the young writer noted in a rather tearful mood.

At the same time, the president of the Republic of Liberia Madam Ellen Johnson was expected to sign the book of condolence for Coach Lardner on Wednesday May 27, 2009, but there are reports that the president will now sign today, Friday, May 29, 2009.

The LFA Acting Secretary General Mr. Sam Beadford in an interview with reporters during the week said the local football house found it expedient to open another book of condolence for the fallen coach so as to afford everyone the opportunity to sign.

Meanwhile, wake keeping for the fallen coach is today, Friday May 29, 2009 while funeral takes place at the ATS in Monrovia on Saturday, May 30, 2009.
