Benjamin R. Lacey Sr.

Benjamin R. Lacey Sr., 81, of Quakertown, PA, passed away on October 5, 2024. He was born in Philadelphia on November 28, 1942 to the late Ruth Lacey and Benjamin Moody. Benjamin was the loving husband of Evelyn (Figueroa) Lacey for 18 years. He started his career as an auto mechanic, and became the service manager of the first black owned auto dealership in the country. Taking the skills he learned there, he transitioned to the telecommunications industry as a fleet manager for Bell of Pennsylvania. He stayed in that field for 28 years, working for Bell Atlantic, AT&T, and Verizon over the course of his career, finishing as a director. During the course of his work, and with his inventive mind, he ended up with two patents to his name. Although he loved his work, his greatest pride and love was his family, both immediate and extended. He took great care of everyone in the family tree whenever he could.

Benjamin is survived by his wife Evelyn; children Benjamin (Angelique) Lacey Jr., Christopher Lacey, and Ruth Barra; grandchildren Lacey, Damian, Benjamin III, Ariana, and Brittanie; great grandchildren Luvangelie and Xavier; brother Ronald (Barbara) Moody; nieces; nephews; and many other loving family and friends. He is predeceased by his parents; grandson Craig; and brother Anthony Moody.
