Many of you won't know Lance by name. But most of you know my cars. Lance painted my 51 Ford altered wheelbase car, did extensive body work and paint on my Vette, flaked the top on my grey 60 Pontiac, and also flaked the top on my Pearl Orange 60 Pontiac. Anyway, he was one of the quiet guys at the custom shows. He also did a lot of body work on Roger and Marie O'dell's Zephyr. It's the wild black and gold custom with front skirts as well as rear, so it looks like it's floating down the street. So, a few days ago, he fell at work and hit his head. After being in a coma for a few days, he passed yesterday. I believe he was close to 40 yrs old. R.I.P.
Man, sorry to hear that. Like Royalshifter said, it's amazing how life is so fragile. We just lost a fellow drag racer from a freak accident this week. GodSpeed, Lance.
Way to young to go, sounds like he a lifetime of talent left to use. Makes me feel older as I have kids older than that. Hope he may Rest in Peace now, he is in a much better place. Godspeed!! Dave
Sad news for sure. Sorry about the loss of your friend Groucho. His family and friends are in my thought's. RIP Lance.
Mumbles (Lance) was a good friend he not only helped on my 38 Zephyr, but also painted my 56 vette, last talked to him a couple of months ago,Groucho thanks for calling we'll miss him roger
I knew Lance for about 20 years....he was working on some of the Stray Cats cars when i met him. Talented guy, and super humble. Got the news from Groucho this morning....what a bummer.
RIP...............sorry to hear of your loss. Life is short at best and you have to make the most of it while you can, you never know what lies just around the corner!!!
Just heard about Lance today, what a bummer! He flaked my buddys 61 Buick a few years back, super talented guy, and also very nice and down to earth, way too young...RIP Lance
I"m really going to miss Lance... We're caravaning there from the valley thru La Tuna cyn to the service monday. Knowing Lance, he would have wanted us to drive our cars to his service. So I am. I'm really going to miss Lance...
Sorry to hear of the loss of your friend, life is short on this earth, compared to eternity, it is but a fleeting moment. Gods speed to Lance.
