Lacy was easy to listen to when I was a teenager at church. He was kind and gentle in his speech. Our families have fond memories of the past together. God bless you all.

Lacy was a man who made a difference in my life as a teenager and remained a friend all my life. He always had such a vibrant smile on his face, a twinkle in his eye and just a little bounce to his step. Always made you feel better to be around him. Lacy you were loved and will be missed by many.
