Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute

Cadamus (Cad) Tom Lackey passed on January 14, 2019. Visitation will be held Tuesday, January 22, 2019 at 10:00am with service to follow at 11:00am at Heartland Cremation and Burial Society located at 6113 Blue Ridge Blvd in Raytown, MO 64133. Cad was born March 24, 1933 in Norfork, AR. He was a printer working for many years at Hallmark Cards, Waddell and Reed and Johnson County Community College.
Cad was an avid runner participating in many marathons even in his sixties, including Hospital Hill and the Macy’s marathon. His passion was music as he played the guitar and keyboard singing his favorite country songs. He recorded many songs on YouTube. He also competed in several singing competitions at local pubs and won quite often. Cad was loved by many as he always had a way of making you laugh.

    I just learned of Cad’s passing. My mom passed away January 5th and she was Cad’s table mate at Wilshire the whole time she was there, 3 years. I loved Cad and always made a point to give him a kiss when I visited my mom. He was one of sweetest men I knew there and I’m so very sad he’s gone. My deepest sympathies to the family. I know him and mom are having some great conversations in Heaven.
