SCHEDULE 13D

Item 1. Security and Issuer.

     This statement relates to the Common Stock, $.01 par value (the “Common Stock”), of Lancer Corporation, a Texas corporation (the “Company”), the principal executive offices of which are located at 6655 Lancer Blvd., San Antonio, Texas 78219.

Item 2. Identity and Background.

(a) This statement is filed by Bedrock Capital, L.P., Bedrock Management, L.P., Bedrock G.P., LLC, James C. Smith and James F. Gallivan, Jr.

(b) The address of Bedrock Capital, L.P.’s, Bedrock Management, L.P.’s, and Bedrock G.P., LLC’s principal business and principal office is P. O. Box 1320, St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands 00804. The business address of Messrs. Smith and Gallivan is P.O. Box 1320, St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands 00804.

(c) Bedrock Capital, L.P. was created to hold certain investments. Bedrock Management, L.P. was created to serve as the general partner of Bedrock Capital, L.P. and Bedrock G.P., LLC was created to serve as the general partner of Bedrock Management, L.P. Messrs. Smith and Gallivan are managers of Bedrock G.P., LLC.

(d) During the last five years, neither Bedrock Capital, L.P., Bedrock Management, L.P., Bedrock G.P., LLC, Mr. Smith nor Mr. Gallivan has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

(e) During the last five years, neither Bedrock Capital, L.P., Bedrock Management, L.P., Bedrock G.P., LLC, Mr. Smith nor Mr. Gallivan has been a party to any civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction the result of which either Bedrock Capital, L.P., Bedrock Management, L.P., Bedrock G.P., LLC, Mr. Smith or Mr. Gallivan was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to Federal or State securities laws or finding any violations with respect to such laws.

(f) Bedrock Capital, L.P. and Bedrock Management, L.P. were organized under the laws of the State of Texas. Bedrock G.P., LLC was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. Both Messrs. Smith and Gallivan are citizens of the United States.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

     The Common Stock was purchased over an approximately 10 year period for investment purposes with funds of the reporting persons in the aggregate amount of approximately $4.6 million.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

     The reporting persons initially acquired the shares of Common Stock owned by them for investment purposes only and continue to hold those shares for that purpose. In February 2004, Mr. Smith placed the name of Mr. Gallivan before the Company’s board of directors for it to consider as a possible director nominee. Mr. Smith was subsequently advised by the current Chairman of the Company’s board, Mr. Richard Osborne, that two other significant stockholders,

 


 

Page 8 of 12 Pages

Mr. Hank Schmitz and Mr. Brian Flynn, had submitted their names to be considered for nomination to the board of directors.

     Mr. Smith and Mr. Gallivan believe that no person should be a director of the Company unless such person is a significant stockholder of the Company so that such director’s interest is aligned with the stockholders’ interests. Mr. Smith and Mr. Gallivan believe that a person’s stock interest in the Company is “significant” only if such person beneficially owns more than 50,000 shares of Common Stock; not including any stock acquired through any Company sponsored stock or option compensation programs.

     Because Mr. Smith and Mr. Gallivan believe that the Company’s stockholders would benefit from a board of directors made up of significant stockholders, they intend:

  (i)   only to support the election of directors to the board of directors who have a significant stock ownership interest in the Company;
 
  (ii)   to encourage the current board of directors and nominating committee to nominate for election to the board only persons who have a significant stock ownership interest in the Company;
 
  (iii)   to encourage other stockholders to only support director nominees that have a significant stock ownership interest in the Company; and
 
  (iv)   to encourage stockholders to share their views on the advisability of limiting the directors nominated by the board to only persons who have a significant stock ownership interest in the Company by writing to:
