What a complete tragedy. Lance was the one that got me lined up with my first round of ice flies, jigs, pole, etc. for ice fishing when I moved to Utah 5 yrs ago. He gave me my first pointers and advice as I visited the store over that first ice season. He was also the one that told me I should check out the Ice Shanty site for more advice and to meet fellow ice-aholics.
My heart goes out to his family and can sincerely say he will be missed by many an angler that he helped over the years.
