Lorance was born January 23, 1934 to Hazel (Ewan) Blume and George A. Blume. He is survived by his wife, Henrietta (Wolff) Blume; daughter Lorelle Mennel, sons Kevin Blume, and Curtis Blume; grandchildren, Nathan Mennel, Christopher and Lacey Blume; great-grandson Auto Koeppen.
Lorance graduated from Scott City High School in 1952. He learned to fly at Scott City airport and held a commercial pilot's license. Lorance held almost all of the ratings a pilot could obtain. He was a crop duster in Kansas, and flew for an oil company in Houma, Louisiana. Lorance was co-owner of Skycraft, Inc. in Hutchinson, KS, where he maintained a fleet of aircraft for charter and was a flight instructor. Flying gave him the opportunity to travel and see the world, including a flight to Africa in 1967. Lorance served in the United States Army from 1957-1963.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to Turning Point: The Center for Hope and Healing; 8900 State Line Rd. #240; Leawood, KS 66206 (www.turningpointkc.org).
