Lane was placed in our lives by God. He was a humble giant of a man. He loved everyone and always had a smile on his face, even when he was in pain. He taught us to be happy with what we were blessed with and not to be concerned with ‘stuff’. He lived a simple life, loved God and saw good in everyone, even if it was not deserved. We loved you and will miss you greatly.
Lane was a good neighbor and a great friend. He enjoyed life and was always there to lend a helping hand. Greasy Cove just won’t be the same without Lane being around.
