A Note from Gary Burns:
It is with a sad, sad heart that I tell you all Lance Rossington passed away, Friday Jan 22 2021.
He had two strokes, and terminal cancer. Lance was 83 years old.
We’ve lost a friend, wonderful neighbour, a mentor and we will really miss him.
Lance opened his house and shop to many of us that got together on Monday nights.
Many times it ended up just being a gossip catch up night as to what everyone was doing. Other nights the lathes were busy making stuff, with everyone interested in the others technique, and projects.
One FVWG member was involved with an orphanage and Lance opened his shop to any members who wished to come and make spin tops for the kids. they made a lot of tops.
Lance was just that kind of guy. One of the nicest human being to walk this world.
Lance belonged to both the Greater Vancouver Woodturners Guild and the Fraser Valley Woodturners Guild for many many years. He always had a positive attitude and was always willing to help anyway he could., and he constantly did.
Rest in Peace Lance, you have left your mark on this woodturning world.
