Without his hard work, a great deal of the history of the Lucas family would have been undiscovered and remained unknown to this day. He continued to give to others by donating his body to science so that others may live or be cured of disease as a result of what may be learned from his donation. He was loved very much, not only by his immediate family, but his extended family and others.

He is in a far better place now, a place where he feels no pain and where he can be with those who have gone before. We miss him. on August 23, 2004.¹
