In Memoriam: Lance Jackson

Lance JacksonMarlena always says that soap friends are the best friends and today I am devastated to hear of passing of my dear friend Lance Jackson in Atlanta.  I profiled Lance–a church organist and a fervent soap fan here last year.  Here’s a reprint of the original, “Lance Jackson: Conservator of Soap Opera Themes.”   His husband Richard passed a year ago. .

 

I was always so grateful for Lance’s support.   He was a delightful, charming man.  I loved starting my day on Facebook with one of his organ performances of soap themes.    We all loved him and will miss him so much. A funeral service will be Aug. 29 at his home congregation, Paradise Missionary Baptist Church, with a celebration of his life scheduled for Sept. 5.
