John Evans Lacey

Thinking about all of you today.

Bob, I was looking up some information about my alma mater, High Point University, today and the story about your son appeared. I had no idea. He must have been a terrific kid because his dad is truly one of the finest people I've met in this business. I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Bob,
We only learned this weekend at Hilton Head of the loss of your son, John. Our prayers are with you. May God continue to help in healing and peace for you and your family.
I am so sorry.
Peace, love, and hope,
Connie and Lanny

I have sat down to write so many times. I have thought about your whole family so often. I don't know any of you but I met John on Parents Weekend. What a nice guy. John was my son, Geoff's, best friend at HPU. John was probably the funniest guy Geoff has ever known. They were such great friends and Geoff has so many great memories of your terrific son. Even though "Lacey" (as your son was referred to at HPU) was in Geoff's life for such a short time he made such an impression. He was...

Dear Gigi and Bob,
I lost my son a year and a half ago...I know even though time is passing, the horrible hurt remains....I think of you two often and pray God will ease your suffering in due time. I do know it does become easier to bear, just don't let anyone tell you "it's time to be finished grieving", losing a child is the worst thing imagineable, and you will have to do that on your own timetable not someone else's. God bless you both and keep you in his care.

I just found out you lost your precious son, John, last year. I am so sorry for your loss. John is now in Heaven and in God's embrace. I hope that knowledge assists you in the grieving process. God Bless you Bob, and your entire family.

Bob, I was listening this morning and had no idea of your loss....I am just so sad about this as he sounded like such a beautiful young man. I lost my brother at 20 years old in 1975 and still think of him daily. I don't know how you manage to laugh every day on the show as you must still be so desolate in your loss and GIGI too. I am so sorry..... Ashleigh Rigdon

Bob, Gigi and Families,
Even though we never knew John or the Lacey family, you are like family to us. We share your painful sorrow and mourn the incredible loss.
We came from Hamden, CT and embrace Bob's North Haven stories. You made us laugh as we went through parallel childrearing and family adventures. Our first born son shares the 8/18 birthday of John, and there are endless connections we feel. All of us have a journey that we share and John's spirit will remain with us...

Bob, I met you when you came to Oregon. I missed a few episodes of your show and just realized your loss. My heart goes out to you and your family. There is no fix for a loss like this, but I hope you have wonderful memories and can always keep his spirit alive thru them. God bless all of you.
