I have had the oppertunity to work side by side with chief Lacy and for that I am very thankful. He took the extra time to ensure that younger less experienced officers learned how to do the job right. while chief Lacy is gone, my memories of him will forever hold a piece of my heart. Thanks for everything Big Randy

Although I never knew him, it was obvious to me today when I attended the funeral and services that a whole community did. An entire community stopped to honor this man, businesses stopped while workers and patrons stood along the roadside as the procession passed by. Some with their hands over their hearts, some holding American flags, children with signs expressing their love and sadness, cars pulled over in the opposite direction of the procession with the occupants standing outside. It was a site to behold as an entire community mourned the loss of this man. Although I never knew him I am proud to call him a brother.


"My Brother"

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He was idealistic and believed he could make a difference.
He was immensely proud of the uniform and the badge and what they represent.
He felt privileged to be of service to his department, his community and to his country.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He was friendly, courteous, and polite, yet firm.
He laughed and joked, but was serious when necessary.
He was competent, trained, and professional.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He had a strong sense of right and wrong and became
frustrated when true justice became sidetracked.
He felt the sharp criticism that goes with the job, but he
never wavered.
He stood by and for his fellow officers.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He longed for his family during the long hours.
He worried about them during his shifts and the lonely
weekends, holidays and midnights when they were apart.
He felt guilty about the lost time, but knew his calling
and prayed they would understand.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He was a good son, a loving husband, and a devoted father.
He was dedicated to the profession and cared about the
people he served.
He wanted to do the best job that he could and st rived to
be the best he could be.
He was a good citizen and a good neighbor.

He was a cop.

Yes, I did know him.
He was a cop, he was my Brother.
