Lance Michael Tlumac Sr., 57, of Wiscasset, died peacefully in the presence of his wife and two sons on Aug. 9.

Born in Hackensack, New Jersey, on Sept. 28, 1957, Lance moved to Maine when he was 17 years old. He married the love of his life, Brenda, on Jan. 13, 1979. He had a long and fulfilling career at Bath Iron Works where he took great pride in his work. His career was highlighted by his final assignment in Nova Scotia where he worked as a consultant to Irving Shipbuilding.

Lance was a member of several organizations that he felt very strongly about, including the NRA, Sportsman’s Alliance of Maine, and the Elks. He had many passions in life outside of his family and career. He was an avid outdoorsman driven by the seasons. He loved hunting, fishing, boating, gardening, and spending time at their camp on Junior Lake with friends and family, which were so dear to him.

Lance had an inquisitive personality, exploring his surroundings with great curiosity. He was an honest, respected, hard-working, steadfast man.

Lance is survived by his wife Brenda; their two sons and their families, Lance Jr., his wife Sheila Lawlor and grandson Owen, and Colton and his wife Terri and grandson Hunter; mother, Gloria; and five brothers, Al, Mark, Blaise, Neal and Glenn.

A graveside service will be held on Friday, Aug. 21, at 1 p.m. at Greenlawn Cemetery in Wiscasset. A celebration of life to follow at the Elks lodge in Brunswick.
