John Nelson "Light Brown" Lancione

We sure miss LB. He helped us make more sense of the world and laugh.

LB was a character I will never forget. He and John Long often brought tears to my eyes from laughing so hard. His TRS80 store at Red Bird was a thing of wonder. He taught me a lot about self-employment and business.

Just got word today and was sorry to hear it. John gave me a job when I really needed one. "If I like you I'll give you a raise, if I dont I'll fire you" he says. I spent 11 years working for, learning from and laughing with John and I really miss those days. Goodbye John.

Dad, I miss you so much! I just want to hear you say, "Hey Generator" one more time! I know you are resting easy now and not struggling...that helps me get thru this! You will always be my #1 guy! I LOVE YOU!!!

Dear Charlott and Family,

I just heard about John. I am so very sorry! He was such a wonderful guy, very loving and always knew how to make you laugh. I pray that God surrounds you with love and comfort during this difficult time.

I first meet Light Brown when he owned a motorcycle shop in east Dallas. Always a story and always a joke. Those where good times.

" Charlott/Chocolate" You and John were wonderful to me. I can truly say the best couple I have ever worked for. I'm still involved today with off road racing. I attribute my ongoing involment through the years, to Lightbrown's passion and vision for the sport of Motocross. Lightbrown was and will always be a shining star to me. Charlott thank you for our friendship and your unconditional support and love for John for the past 30 years.

God Speed to John

I offer the Lancione Family my condolences and pray that the "peace of God that excels all thought will guard your hearts."- Philippians 4:7
