He was preceded in death by infant daughter Kimberly Lane, brother Norman Lane, Jr. and step-father Andrew James Palko.

Mr. Lane had served in the United States Air Force, serving his country in Vietnam.  It was during this time that he learned his trade which became a lifelong career of water and wastewater treatment plant operator.  He last worked for Mount Union and Mapleton Boroughs, retiring in 2015.

He enjoyed watching the Steelers and Pirates, playing softball and bowling, boating, watching his grandchildren play sports, preparing large Sunday meals for his family and grandchildren, and going on daily trips to McDonald's for breakfast with his dog, Dude.
