My deepest condolences. Lance is a friend who will be missed but remembered for a quick laugh, a witty come-back and an unending willingness to give support when ever needed. I share comforting thoughts by Elizabeth Ammons in his memory.
You can shed tears because they are gone, or you can smile because they lived. You can close your eyes and pray they will come back, or you can open your eyes and see all that they left for you. Your heart can be empty because you can’t see them, or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember only they are gone, or you can cherish their memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind and feel empty, or you can do what they would want. Smile, Open your heart, Love…and go on.

My deepest condolences to all who knew Lance.
Lance was one of the best ones. He was a caring friend – he genuinely cared. He always looked out for the people around him.
Lance was the best co-worker you can have. He always went the extra mile and had your back. He made work fun.
I always appreciated the way Lance stayed in touch – despite distance. Constantly checking in to keep the connection going.
I wish I could be there to pay my respects in person and celebrate his wonderful life.
Sending hugs to his family and friends.

We are very saddened to hear of Lance’s passing. He lived next door to the home we were rehabbing and would always come over to chat and check out what we were doing. He was a huge help to my husband over the years whenever there were issues at our house. Couldn’t ask for a better friend or nicer person.
Our condolences to Lance’s family.

Kate and Livy, you never me me but I know what absolute and pure love your dad had for you. Your dad taught me about being selfless. In this sense he thought the world about you. You were his joy and sadness his absolute greatness accomplishment and he always wanted to do more for you. When I grow up I want to be like him. I wish I had a father like yours. You both were luckier than you’ll ever imagine.

I met Lance when We were 28 and 29. We laughed at the same stupid things about life. both had two brothers, albeit I am the middle and he was the youngest. we spent a lot of years knowing each others lives and families. Just really surprised at this. Above all, he was a good man, a good friend, an ambitious bright provider. Im grateful I had him as a friend. Couldnt ask for a better friend to have. ciao amico..ci vediamo!

It is with great sadness that i recently found out that my great friend Lance Adeszko passed away on March 6th 2020. You see we both worked for Metropolitan insurance at the same time in Springfield, IL. Our careers took us in different directions but, for the longest time we remained in contact. As our lives through family and career continued to grow quickly we both moved on. Ironically, just three days after Lance passed away I also lost my sister Carol. Now, as the two year anniversary of both of these fine people approaches my heart reaches out to your family, Lance. You will not be forgotten. I do remember one of your favorite phrases “You know what tho? ” I always replied with “What tho?
