Lance was just a great guy. Dan and I both remember different times and moments, memories of the time we have known Lance, we met him in 1992. He helped us move once. I cut his ponytail off on his 21st birthday. He and Joe (Fitzgerald) goofing around when they worked for Pontious. The list goes on!! :)
I saw alot of Lance when he was working County Market and he was ALWAYS smiling and looked happy. Our heartfelt condolences to the entire Potter family in this time of profound grief. Rest in Peace Lance, you will not soon be forgotten.

To the Potter family,
My heart aches for each of you as you grieve the loss of Lance. What a wonderful person he was! I was always greeted with a great big smile and a bear hug when I saw him. I have so many great memories growing up and even in our adult years when we worked for Pontious Brothers Construction. Lance had an infectious laugh that I will remember forever. May God wrap his loving arms around all of you and bring a sense of peace to each of you today and in the days to come. Lance's memory and spirit will live on in each of us! He was an incredible person and loved by many people.
