The Kaw Loses a Dear Friend – Lance Burr

Lance Burr, a true Kaw River warrior, passed away on Monday evening, May 13, 2013. Lance was a founding board member and the first president of Friends of the Kaw. He also established our Endowment Fund. 

Lance served on the Friends of the Kaw board as either an active or honorary board member from 1997 to 2013. We will all dearly miss him.

Lance was active in many community concerns for Lawrence and Kansas. Our deepest sympathy goes to his family, particularly his children, Dustin and Desiree.
