Lacy was born June 30, 1936 in Washington D.C. to Paul and Nora Wyrick Williams. He spent his youth in Lickcreek, W.V. and Narrows, V.A. He enlisted in the US Army in July 1953 serving in Korea for 2 years. He trained as a diesel mechanic in Chicago with his cousins, Carl and Clyde Keaton. Lacy came to Waco in November 1959 and worked for his uncle at Jones & Williams Construction. Lacy married Jerre Callon on November 17, 1962 at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Waco.
Once established in Waco, he worked for various construction firms including Jones & Williams, Byron Contractors, Waco Construction Company and he taught Building Construction at TSTI before going into business for himself in 1972 by forming the Lacy A. Williams Construction Company and Jerre Rentals. He was a residential and commercial builder, realtor and real estate broker. He was also a Master Mason with Fidelis Lodge #1127 and Knights of Pythias Lodge #300.
Taking his cousin's good advice, Lacy and Jerre traveled for 10 years while his health was still good. Lacy took special interest in Confederate Battlefield sites. He also delighted in tracing genealogy for Jerre and himself dating back to the 1600's.
Lacy loved his family and enjoyed watching his grandchildren in their various activities. He also enjoyed Turner Classic Movies and watching and feeding birds.
