To Lance’s family,
Lance was one of the kindest and most decent men I have had the pleasure of meeting in my life.  I got to know him at R.R. Donnelley during the early 1980’s.  I only saw him a few times since then, however only good memories and pleasant dealings with him.  May God bless you all and that he rest in peace.
