I've heard so many great stories and seen beautiful pictures of Mr. Lancaster and his family from his granddaughter Julie. What an amazing family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time. May God always Bless each of you and keep you safe.

We are so sorry to hear this news. Wylie was a very kind man. We enjoyed seeing and talking with him at our monthly birthday gathering. He will be missed greatly.
