Dennis Stacy Obituary by Patrick Huyghe @The Anomalist

“I am heartbroken to report that my good friend and colleague Dennis Stacy passed away on Sunday, May 11th at the age of 78. He was born in Gorman, Texas, and graduated from the University of Texas with a degree in journalism. Dennis was married to Julie Kelleher for almost 30 years before she passed away in 2018; they had one son, Kevin Stacy. Though Dennis spent his entire life in Texas, he travelled extensively internationally, including to Loch Ness where together we interviewed Nessie witnesses and researchers in the late 1990s and wrote a series of articles for Omni on the subject. A mutual fascination with the UFO subject had kicked off our friendship at a MUFON conference in 1993. At that time Dennis was the editor of the monthly MUFON UFO Journal, a position he held from 1985 to 1997. Due to our mutual admiration for old issues of Flying Saucer Review, we decided to start publishing a fortean journal entitled The Anomalist in 1994 (until 2010), and this website, which began in 1996. Dennis received the 1995 Donald E. Keyhoe Journalism Award for a six-part series on UFOs that appeared in Omni. He was the author of The Marfa Lights: A Viewer’s Guide, co-author with me of The Field Guide to UFOs, and co-editor with Hilary Evans of UFOs 1947-1997: Fifty Years of Flying Saucers, among other works. And from 2005 to 2021 he served as the publisher of Anomalist Books. Goodbye, dear friend. Rest in Peace.” (PH)
