Timothy J. Lance, age 64, a resident of Derby, entered into eternal rest on January 15, 2021 at Griffin Hospital, with his loving and devoted wife by his side. He was the beloved husband of Darlene Riccio Lance.
Mr. Lance was born in Bridgeport on March 25, 1956, son of the late Norman and Shirley Purcell Lance. Tim was employed as a Blade Specialist at Sikorsky Aircraft for 36 ½ years.
