A 'confident, hard-working and inspirational' man from Burnage passed away suddenly. Hundreds of people travelled abroad to attend the funeral of Lance Petrou, 56, on March 18.
Lance passed away suddenly on 28th January due to a seizure. Many family and friends travelled almost 1,500 miles to pay respects to the influential man.
Lance created his own online business through Amazon becoming a successful salesman after getting his start almost 10 years ago selling products from gaming chairs to massage chairs online.
Speaking about her dad, Samantha Petrou, Lance's daugther, said: "He was the best father ever. No one was better, I know everyone says that but he truly was. His funeral abroad was a beautiful send off.
"We buried him next to his mother as he said he wanted to be besides her and my mum. I miss him so much, it's unfair that life is like this but we have too keep moving forward.
"I just hope he is resting. It was so sudden, I just hope there wasn't any pain. I'm content with him being at peace.
"My mother is taking the loss the hardest however, she is also the strongest person I know and we have been there for each other."
Facia Petrou, Lance's wife spoke to the MEN: "I still hear his voice sometimes, but I know he's at peace. We are religous so I believe he's in heaven right now.
"I love and miss him and I can't wait for us to be reunited."
Lance leaves behind his wife and his only daughter.
