Lance was a wonderful incongruous mix of characters. He was a kind and gentle man with the ability to converse on any subject from "strings and e-molecules" to current events and politics. He had a fascination with synchronicity, metaphysics, and the concept of Time in world cultures. He was a wonderful and devoted friend and companion to his wife Carol. He was a wonderful grandpa to Cody, Kyle and Nickolas and father figure to Michelle and Michael. He was a student and a mentor. He was my friend and my son Adam's friend. I remember his rich sense of humor, our many wild conversations over the years, his kindness and generosity...especially allowing us to stay at their house with three dogs!
He was a man noted for his keen intellect and for doing the best Reindeer Dance I ever saw!
My love and support are extended to my dearest friend Carol, her children, and her grandchildren. I'll greatly miss him.
