Macy worked for the United States Postal Service in Colonial Heights for 37 years. He was a passionate Washington Redskins fan and loved to bowl. Macy enjoyed attending his grandchildren's sporting events. After retirement he became passionate about taking care of his yard and spending time outdoors. What Macy loved to do more than anything was spend time with his wife Joan. They would often go out to get dessert and drink sweet tea. In his later years he became Joan's caretaker and was devoted to her well-being until the day he passed. Macy will be deeply and greatly missed by his family and friends.
