Sorry for your loss. He was a wonderful man and I have many great memories of him over the years. Like the belly flops in the pool, or watching him throw people in. Almost every time I went to Meijer I would run in to him. I was blessed to have known him.

Lacy was a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather. We met him many years ago when he married my cousin Bobbie. He was a devoted member of our family and well respected. He cared for his in-laws and was greet with all the children he came in contact with. He loved to play with kids and added humor to any situation. Deepest sympathy to Bobbie, the girls, the grandchildren and all the Lilly family.

We moved away from Louisville in 1999, we still stories about Lacy. One of the best is his mini-marathon award.
We loved Lacy and we could feel of his love of us and others in his actions and words.
Our love and prayers be upon all of Lacy's family and many friends.
He will be missed. Words are hard to say what we want to say, but Lacy was "one of a kind".
We are so blessed to have had Lacy in our lives.
