Lance and I were friends in high school, but reconnected in our 50’s after he sent me a picture of him with my niece (who was his server). We’ve kept in touch since. I am saddened by his passing and he will be missed. My condolences to the Corner family.

I just loved this guy.. I haven’t seen him for quite sometime but when we did visit it was like we were starting again where we left off. I’m so sorry Ronnie, Sally ,Trevor, Sheila and family. This just breaks my heart. Lance and I are 2nd cousins. This was a total shock when I came upon this. May God give You healing and prayers. ♥️🙏🏼♥️
Lance was such an awesome friend to many. Lots of laughs and great hugs. He moved north and I haven’t seen him in a few years.
I can still hear his laugh and voice when I look at his picture.
He was always such a trooper when it came to all of our shenanigans at Hooters. He put up with all of us girls and treated us as if we were his daughters. He even called me kid all the time.
I remember one time while he was inside another girl and I ran outside and seran wrapped his truck. Hahaha
Miss him.
