Edward M. Lacy, “Lightening” of Churchville, formerly of Holland died peacefully on Friday, November 30, 2018, at his home surrounded by his family. He was 81.

Born in Philadelphia, Edward was the beloved husband of 35 years to Josephine E. Janka Lacy; who passed away on March 25^th this year.

Ed grew up in the Oxford Circle section of Philadelphia and was a 1955 graduate of North Catholic High School. He loved golf and it didn’t matter if he was playing it or watching it.  He was also a very talented bowler and although he wouldn’t readily admit it, he bowled multiple, perfect, 300 point games.  The reason he didn’t tell people was partly due to his humility but mostly because he couldn’t get a betting game if he told them.

Lightening liked all sports but especially loved to watch football.  Being part of the neighborhood fantasy football group, “Hampton Homies” was something he took very seriously.  It was competitive and fun and he was proud to say that he never came in last. 

More than anything he was a loving father, grandfather and devoted husband who lovingly cared for his wife.  Although he never went into the ocean or spent the day sitting on the beach, he did spend his summers at the shore, because his wife loved it there. He spent his time on the porch enjoying the day knowing that they would return home and he would be surrounded by all his family.  The dedication to his family and the love he showed to his wife will always be remembered and appreciated.

He is survived by his children Michael Grafenstine and his wife Joy, Stefanie Morgan and her husband Rick, Jeannie Zbarsky, Megan Fenton and her husband Tom and his sister Trudy Haas.  He is also survived by his 9 grandchildren; Brandy, Jimmy, Michael, Alexis, Jack, Andrew, Liah, Hunter and Lacy. He was predeceased by his sister Mary McCauley.

His family will receive condolences on Tuesday evening December 4, from 6:00pm to 8:00pm at the Joseph A. Fluehr III Funeral Home 800 Newtown-Richboro Rd. (at Holland Rd.) Richboro and on Wednesday morning at St. Vincent de Paul Church 654 Hatboro Rd. Richboro, from 9:00am until his Funeral Mass 10:00am. His interment will follow in All Saints Cemetery, Newtown.
