Wow!  Yes, we are old but it seems like we should be immortal. But that just isn't so. Bless all of Lance's Loved Ones :)

This brings back memories: I, probably among other girls in our class, had a secret crush on Lance Tobert. One of the mystery boys in our class. Makes me sad now. I hope he lived a happy and fulfilling life.

How sad to read of his passing.  First met Lance at Lincoln where he was the quarterback on our football team.  Was always a cool guy, lost track after high school.  My cousin Bernie had told me he was in L.A. Never did get in touch with him.

I memory serves, Lance was drafted as a pitcher by the San Francisco Giants organization but not long after suffered a crippling arm injury.  If it was the elbow, he suffered the same fate as many others; that is, their injury predated by about a decade the sea-change procedure known as Tommy John surgery.  Had that surgery been available to Lance, he could have gone on to be a Hall of Famer--he certainly had the talent. 

In fact, Dick Bosman, considered to be the second best pitcher on the Red Devils team, led the American League in earned run average in 1969 and pitched a no-hitter for the Cleveland Indians in 1974 against the Oakland Athletics, then a powerhouse force in the American League.  One can easily imagine Lance experiencing similar success. I hope he overcame that unfortunate setback and had a great life in whatever endeavors he pursued.  R.I.P., Mr. Tobert.

Sorry to hear about Lance, A nice classmate and friend, A very good athlete, My sympathy.

I first met Lance at Lincoln Jr. High. He was on the cross country team in high school.  He was very nice but kind of quiet.  Never new anything about him after high school.  Hope he had a great life.  May he have eternal peace in heaven.

Sad to hear of another class mate's passing. My sincere condolences to his family.

I received five letters from Lance, about one per year, but recently they just plain stopped. Lance and I were forced to join the Bradford x-Country team  because in order  to try-out or play basketball for the Red Devils, one had to go-out for a Fall sport. 
That "rule" was very unforgiving, but we had to live with it. Lance always had a quiet presence, was a good student and better athlete. He pitched for the red-devils with Andy Smith as his coach. RIP my friend!
