I was so sorry to hear about Coach Lancaster's death. I cherish the framed photo and special note he gave me when I was on one of his softball teams. He made a lasting impression on my life and I cherish those memories I have of him coaching me. Also know that the entire Gissendanner family sends their sympathies.

I am so sorry for your loss. Coach Lancaster was such a positive influence on me as a young athlete. He helped develop my love for sports and competition. He spent a lot of time working with me on my swing. I can still hear him saying, "Kerry, stop stepping in the bucket." I will always cherish those memories. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Dot and Family,

I was saddened to hear of Ken's passing.

We had so many good times with the girls during their softball years. Ken was such a great coach and so talented teaching them the game. Very fond memories. You are all in my prayers.
