I remember working with Lance back in the Isuzu days. He always was happy, & had a smile. Then I was able to get moved, & so did Lance. Last time I talked with him was on the end of the watertest line. He still had the same smile, & was the same as he ever was. He was a really nice person to know, & talk with.
