Sure made me sad when I learned of Lances passing. One of the finest and certainly most courageous people I have ever met.He had a way of lifting my spirits whether it be with a joke or a few words of common sense wisdom or his always positive attitude. My condolences to his family and all who knew him as he will be greatly missed by all of us.

Losing a son, brother, and uncle, under the best of circumstance is very difficult to deal with. When you lose someone with the strength, dignity, and faith that Lance had and with all the people's lives that he touched, its hard to fathom the loss those closest to him must be dealing with. My heart goes out to all of u, with love.

My heartfelt condolences to the Greco family on the death of your son, brother and friend, Lance. The psalmist writes in Psalms 116: 15 saying, "Precious in the sight of the Lord are the death of His godly ones." Rejoice, for Lance is with the Lord.
