So sorry to hear of his passing but know he is no longer in pain. Maybe he will be up there taking the Raiders all the way this year. He was a great man and made me feel like a special person. I also know how proud he was of his sons and wife! My prayers are with you and may your pain lessen a lil each day. Jennifer (reception from Fishers and Orchards Kaiser)

I was so very saddened to read of Lucas passing. We worked together at PUD for a few years. He was so much fun to work with, such a great attitude and spirit and so good with our customers. Even with the most difficult customer he would negotiate a fair payment arrangement--earning him the nickname of "Low Cost Lucas "
He was a good, honest, hard working family man and I was so grateful to have known him.
So very sorry for your loss.

Kathy and children, I am so sorry for your loss. I used to stand behind Lucas in the pool at Firstenburg for the Gentle Moves class. Everyone in the class loved him. I am praying for you and for your family.
