FiITCHBURG - Paul Leo Lacy's tractor has run out of gas. Paul, age 99, an area farmer, passed away on June 13, 2024, at The Legacy at Noel Manor in Verona, Wis.

He married the former Milda Richardson on Feb. 16, 1952, at St. Raphael Cathedral in Madison. They were blessed with eight daughters.

He will remain in the hearts of all who loved him, including his wife, Milda; six daughters, Melissa Lacy-Cliff, Lora (Bruce) Waddell, Teresa (Conrad) Peterson, Diane (Larry) Schmid, Joan (Ken) Kleinheinz and Jeri (Pat) Breen; son-in-law, Robert Peterson; 15 grandchildren; 16 great-grandchildren with one on the way; and three siblings, Howard (Carolyn) Lacy, Ellen Palzkill and John (Maureen Richards) Lacy.
