May I extend my heart-felt condolences to the family. I am a 1969 Roth High School graduate. Mr. Lacy gave a fine and worthy contribution to his profession. With his unique, always-memorable voice and by his living example he led us, as young students toward aspirations to do well in life. Thanks, Mr. Lacy.

In my 8th grade at Roth HS, Mr. Lacy was my teacher for something for Industrial Arts class. I am not quite sure what is was, but later I remembered he became an assistant principal. He was a nice man, very dignified in his manner. He will be missed by many.
