Not sure what to say?

I'll never forget Lance on stage with Cringer in South Dakota in 1990 or his music I grew up with.

Lance was an inspiring person who will be sadly missed. Never met but we communicatd by email and I always got a good feeling from him

thank you Lance

i didn't have the honor to actually know lance, but i still grew up with j church; lance changed my life. being from los angeles it really sucked not being able to go to cringer or j church shows like others have.

i used to sit and think of what i was going to say to lance if i ever got the chance to meet him.

i did finally get that chance back in 2001 during the fat wreck chords tour. i got there early so i could say hi to him. not once did he make me feel like an over...

I was fortunate enough to see Lance Perform in Minneapolis in the early 1990's with the then newly formed J Church. As a big fan of Cringer, it was amazing to see Lance in person and play with so much passion. I imagine I'll be listening to his music for the rest of my days- Lance's life work will always exist and touch so many lives.

As a lontime admirer of Lance & his bands,I'm glad that I was able to say "hi" to him as we passed each other on the street the last time I was in Austin. The simple,yet warm "Hey,what's up?" that he returned on that Saturday night will stay with me for an immeasurable time. Thanks for everything,Lance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was first introduced to J.Church in '96 when I was 17, by Don who's now my husband. We were in his bedroom w/a couple of friends sitting on the floor listening to records,& Don put on The Drama of Alienation. I loved it,& J.Church immediatly became one of my favorite bands & still is to this day. Lance will continue to live through in his music & writings. He was/is a great inspiration & will be missed.
