Cliff Lane wrote a sympathy message

“I'm sorry for your loss. I met Lance more than 10 years ago, and he at that first meeting through the last at the Kinzua Skywalk was always talking and living conservation. We have all lost a dedicated and champion of conservation. My hope is you realize that he has left a legacy in his position in conservation. I will truly miss his insights and sense of humor and a joy for helping others achieve their goals. Sincerely, Cliff Lane NE Region district director(McKean County)”
