We Miss You Lance!
Tributes
Leave a tributeYou were so many things and I knew you for a long long time. Just miss you. I miss your exuberance, your giant smile and bear hugs, your love of music (and endless attention to my music wtf?), your intensity and veracity and incredible focus on the moment.
Sometimes, I had to talk you off the ledge when we were shooting, when you got frustrated, but you listened to me and it made me feel that you trusted my instincts and on set, that mattered.
It's a random day in early May 2019. My oldest daughter is having a baby in September and I know you would have been excited about that, keeping up on the progress. You were that guy. We had many talks over cocktails or on the phone intermittantly about the creative process and philosophy and the power of music and art. I miss those meetings of the mind we harbored for so many years together.
OK. It feels good to *talk to you* here, tonight. I imagine you are in another layer of the universe, floating on a different plane of existence. Makes me feel better. Lovelove Lance.
Love Marie
The news of your passing was devastating, but I hope you have found peace.
I could not feel your warmth or see your bright light
You are not far away and I know you’re still there
Nevertheless, my guide of spring and summer has gone, winter is here
How could you leave us alone in this way
A last lesson in Season’s seems hardest to take
I am angry with you, you were always so true
You were the one that carried me and now I feel I failed you
Left you alone when you needed reminding
To Struggle for Light
Is the Nature of Life
Not a Binding
I won’t see you today, so I wait for tomorrow
When dawn’s first rays will open new flowers
And the times we shared will be only memories now
I won’t forget you and will remember only long days of summer

We will remember you as you lived your life, passionate, loving, enthusiastic,and optimistic!
Rest in peace, my brother! And say "Hi!" to Alex, for me.

OUR Birthdays
Today is your birthday, August 9th. I'm missing you today as I do everyday, but more than that I'm missing wishing you a great day and an awesome year. My birthday was 5 days ago and I'm missing teasing you as I did when we were growing up; "You can't boss me around now, because we're the same age". Then, your birthday would come around on the 9th and I could no longer hold that over your head. I missed my first text message of the day wishing me a "Happy Birthday", you were always the first one. Oh how wonderful it would be to have just one more joint birthday party as we used to have when we were growing up.
I miss you and love you dear brother. Praying for peace for you and all of us still here missing you today. Happy, Happy Birthday!

No Project left Undone
One summer Lance came to Los Angeles for a visit and business trip and stayed with Lynette and I. No matter how much he had to do, he noticed a few of the projects around the house that I had either started or still to start. He said that he can take of them. I told him that he had plenty to do visiting family and his own business things to do and not to worry about them.
Well as you can imagine when I came home from work 4 speakers were installed inside and outside our back room and music playing.
Lance loved to tinker, fix and complete tasks especially for someone else, always taking care of others.
