The world lost a gentle sweet soul when Lance made his exit from his temporary body...but Heaven is howling and will experience new joy with the addition of Lance in Heaven's Comedy Central...I had the distinct pleasure of knowing Lance over a period of about 15 years...not as a close friend but as a human being interacting in the same space. He was always a polite, kind man with a great sense of humor...He was the embodiment of compassion and courage...I was so sorry to hear of his passing...and offer his family (past and Present) my sincere sympathy. God be with you all....Linda Stanley

Life hands a person a handful of true friends in a life time... Lance was truly a handful of friendship. Lance's love was expressed in many ways, through his family, friendship, his sense of humour, smiles and laughter. Lance's spirit lives on in all the lifes he has touched. May peace be with his family and friends.
