graduation, Lane attended NDSU in Fargo 1 year, transferring to UND in Grand
Forks in 1972. On July 8, 1972 he was united in marriage to Joyce Austin in
Lemmon. They lived in Grand Forks until 1974 when Lane received his degree
in Business Administration. A son Preston was born in 1974. Following his
college graduation they farmed with his father for one year, but because of
health (Lane had dealt with years of a chronic disease of the colon) they
moved to Fargo where he worked for Avco Financing Company. Most of Lane’s
career was in insurance sales. Lane moved to Elbow Lake, MN and managed the
Wendell Ins. Agency. While there, he organized the Grant Co, MN Ducks
Unlimited Organization and chaired it for 2 years. In 1987 the family moved
to Phoenix, AZ where Lane worked for the John Hancock Company, Color Tile
and the Arizona Republic. While in Arizona, he and Joyce divorced, but
remained life-long friends. The year before entering the hospital he
completed his post graduate studies at the University of Phoenix. While in
the hospital, Lane had two liver transplants, the medications he had to take
ruined his kidneys and he passed from this life Monday evening, July 17, at
the age of 43 years. His son Preston is now a police officer in the Phoenix
area and his father, Ted, still lives in Lemmon. |
