Lance was a devoted husband, father, brother and uncle. He had a great sense of humor, loved to tell jokes and make people laugh. He loved RVng and traveling. He was a passionate Alabama sports fan, especially of the Crimson Tide football team. He would talk and rehash any game you wanted to discuss, especially if it was a great win. He was employed for 30+ years with AT&T and had truly been enjoying retirement ever since he retired. He will be greatly missed and we take comfort in the fact that he now has the best seat in the house to watch his family and his football games.
