A big smile and warm friendly
demeanor- 2 things you could always count on when meeting Lance. And the guy could hit a golf ball. I have fond memories of our times at the NC coast fishing, eating and sharing a laugh. He was a special part of our annual trip. Those
times are never forgotten. Fair winds and smooth sailing.
