\nEn 1952, se cas\u00f3 con su esposa, Retha, y vivi\u00f3 juntos durante m\u00e1s de 70 a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n

Seg\u00fan su familia, si bien no sirvi\u00f3 detr\u00e1s del p\u00falpito, Lancaster era un \u00e1vido fan\u00e1tico de Alabama Crimson Tide. Cuando los deportes no estaban en \u00e9l, disfrut\u00f3 pasar su tiempo trabajando en madera y estar alrededor del agua, que llam\u00f3 \u00abla creaci\u00f3n gloriosa de Dios\u00bb.<\/p>\n

Lo m\u00e1s importante, era realmente un hombre de Dios y ten\u00eda una verdadera fe inquebrantable de que Dios podr\u00eda hacer cualquier cosa. Junto a su amor por Dios vino su dedicaci\u00f3n a su familia.<\/p>\n

Le sobrevive su esposa, Retha Lancaster; hijo, Mark Lancaster; hija, Dianne Gibbs; tres nietos;  y tres bisnietos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
