Lance was born on April 27, 1945 in Monticello, FL. He proudly served in the US Marine Corps Reserve. In his younger years, he worked for the Coca Cola company as a delivery driver and as a security manager at the Capri Lounge in Monticello, FL. He also worked for Broad Leaf Trucking, owned and operated the Qwik Lube auto shop in Monticello, FL., and was a land manager for Roger Champion. After retirement, Lance continued sharing his knowledge and skills, and served as a valued employee at ACE Hardware in Tallahassee, FL.
Lance was a true renaissance man and had many hobbies throughout his life, including a passion for reading. He could be found most evenings immersed in a Louis L'Amour novel. He loved music of all genre's, and "The Eagles" were his all-time favorite band. He enjoyed poetry and playing his acoustic guitars. He was a history buff, and he loved tending to his beautiful plants and flowers. He was a very talented wood worker, and he enjoyed collecting antiques.
Lance had an impressive number of cherished lifelong friends, and he never met a stranger. When he was able, he enjoyed nature, fishing, taking road trips with Conella and the grandkids, and visiting the mountains to observe the changing of the leaves. Lance enjoyed the simple things in life, and he held his large family dear. Lance will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
The family will hold a celebration of life at a later date in Monticello, FL.
