I worked alongside Lance at Paine Webber and at Janney. We shared good times with softball, golf, and an occasional glass of liquid refreshment. A good guy was he. My heart goes out to Judy and the kids.

I was so shocked to learn about Lance's death. I always thought he would be forever young because he was such a fun and dynamic person. He was one of the best people I ever worked with at PaineWebber. My heart goes out to you.
