People like Don " Bubba" are very rare by today standards, he always was willing to help others and try to make their problems go away. I feel blessed to call Bubba my true friend as well as a co-worker, mentor and father figure. I will miss him greatly but will never forget him!

I worked with Bubba on the history committee for years. Bubba loved the fire department and the history. We all owe Bub a debt of gratitude for all his hard work. He spent a lot of his retirement time at new Central working on history items. I can't help but think he and Smilin Jack are having a conversation right now. Godspeed Don.

My deepest condolence to the Lacy family. I was hired along with Don on the CRFD on the same day. I remember a training fire early on where Don got his neck and ears burnt pretty bad. Blisters and all. He said it was fine and did not hurt at all, but I knew it did. He would not let them disrupt the training to attend to him. I thought right then and there what a tough older guy,he was. He 33 years old I was only 21. He went on to be a joy to work with never complaining and willing to help us younger fire fighters. Even if he was a rookie too. He will be missed.

Carol and family sorry for your loss. I worked with him at Goss and we became good friends. PS - I think we nicknamed him Biscuit.

I grew up with Don and the wonderful Lacy family.
We lived next door to them on 18th St. Carol was a high school friend. Lost touch over the years but Don and the Lacy family will always have a place in my heart.

Carol and family I’m sorry for your loss. I worked with Don at CRFD. Don loved the fire department and his family. He worked tirelessly to save fire department memorabilia during the flood and save its history. It was an honor to work with Don. I know he is in a good place. Rest in Pease Don.
