Bruce F. Lacey

Bruce F. Lacey, born November 19, 1954 in Yuba City, California was the second of 5 siblings born to Fred and Gracia ‘LaWanda’ (Denson) Lacey.  At a young age, his family moved to Butler County, Kansas.  Bruce held various jobs in the area prior to starting his career with the El Dorado Times and quickly advanced to Head Pressman.  He was proud to keep the printed news in the hands of Butler County.  In later years he had retired from LMI.  Bruce was well loved and respected by many.  He loved people, hated crowds, but never met a stranger. He had a great sense of humor.  He was a multitalented man who loved cooking, gardening, golfing and working outdoors.  He also thoroughly enjoyed going ‘boonie cruising’, listening to/watching 80’s music videos and Chiefs football.  Above all, Bruce loved and was most proud of his family.  He cherished the time he spent with them.
 Bruce passed away December 1, 2022, at his home in El Dorado with Deanna and his faithful dog Polly by his side.
