Harvy Richard Lacy, Jr.

Harvy Richard Lacy passed away on Saturday, July 29th, in Lubbock, Texas, at the age of 98. He was still sharp as a tack, tough as nails, and the kindest, most patient soul imaginable. He also had a tremendous and wry sense of humor. He lived independently in his own house and even recently had his driver's license renewed! He was born in Littlefield, Texas, in 1925 and raised in the South Plains during the Great Depression. He graduated from high school in Loop, Texas, where he met the love of his life, Dorothy Blanche Benningfield. Upon graduation, he and Dorothy married. Despite receiving a full-ride college scholarship, Harvy felt it was his duty during World War II to enlist in the US Army Air Forces. He served through the reconstruction of Japan. After returning to the States, he, Dorothy, and their two daughters moved to Lubbock where he lived for the rest of his life. He worked in automotive parts and logistics, ultimately working as a logistics manager at Ford Motor Company for over 40 years before retiring. A deeply faithful man, he was a member of the Sunset Church of Christ for most of his life. Harvy was a beloved brother, husband, father, grandfather, uncle, and a great friend to many. He was preceded in death by his wife Dorothy almost thirty years ago, as well as his brother Charles Lacy, sister Bobbie Sawyer, sons-in-law Ronnie Dunn and Jim Bone, grandson Brad Dunn, and many other family members and friends. He is survived by brothers Tommy and Jerry Lacy, daughters Patti Dunn and Sandy Bone, three grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, and a multitude of nieces, nephews, and other relatives. He was extraordinary in every way, an impeccable role model, and a shining exemplar of the Greatest Generation. There just aren't words for how much he'll be missed, but there's great comfort in knowing that he is reunited in Paradise with so many wonderful and much-loved folks who have gone before. Funeral arrangements are being handled through Sanders Funeral Home of Lubbock, and a graveside service for family will be held at Resthaven Cemetery and Memorial Park. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to https://www.texassouthplainshonorflight.org/ in his memory.
