I am always thinking of the laughter Coach Erickson brought to our team and to my life. Even on the JV girls tennis team, Coach pushed us to be our best, while having the best time. He still lives dearly in my heart as some of my best high school memories.
As a USTA player and team captain, I really appreciated all the hard work and time Mr. Erickson put into organizing league tennis in the Dayton area. My sincerest condolences go out to the Erickson Family.
We will never forget Lance's smile, quick wit, and constant encouragement while our son Solomon was on the Bellbrook High School tennis team. Lance's personality added greatly to the tennis experience. Pictures alone cannot fully capture those times. He meant a lot to us, and we will truly miss him.
Lance will truly be missed. There will be a void at the club that will never be filled.
God Bless. The Dailey Family
Dearest Brother in Law,
I shall miss your quick wit, smile from ear to ear and your enduring love you showed for my sister.
Carolyn, know we're praying for you and all the kids. May your memories of the fun good times help everyone heal.
I had a chance to know Lance through coaching at Bellbrook High School. Lance was a kind heart. He was always willing to help others or try to make life easier for others. As a fellow coach I will miss what he brought to Bellbrook Coaching and to all his players. May God Bless all the Erickson Family during this difficult time.
I will remember Lance in best ways. The time we went to the semenar in Columbus, the High School team practice for Bellbrook Tennis. Also seing him and greeting me every time with "Glad you can make it today." made my day smile. My prayers to you and your family. He will be greatly missed. See you Coach Lance
We will be thinking of him and the family.Our prayers are with you. Sincerely the Espinosa family.
Carolyn,
My heart goes out to you and your family. Lance was a very good man and I am honored to call him a friend. I treasure the season I helped him with the Bellbrook boys tennis team. He was so much fun to be around and he cared so much for the boys. I learned a lot from him that season. He worked so hard for the adult leagues as well. I hope he knew how much it was appreciated. I will miss seeing his smiling face around the tennis court. May you find comfort in good memories and knowing so many people are praying for you. God bless you and will give you strength!
