Lance John Demeter, 80, passed away August 24, 2024. He was born in Chicago, the only son of the late John Alexander and Marcella (Jasieniecka) Demeter. In 1983, he moved to Florida with his wife, Barbara (Weinberger), and their four children. Throughout his life, Lance owned or worked for several home construction companies before retiring at 63. A wise-cracking adventurer, Lance loved the thrill of motorcycle riding, roller coasters, boating, fishing, and hunting.
