Thomas Lucas Obituary

Dear Georgette and Family
May Tom's memory bring joy to your life.
It is many years since we went jogging from 101 Rutledge Avenue in Charleston. Memories are never limited or defined by Time. Time is controlled totally and solely by our Master. As a young Physician Dr. Lucas Sr. and Tom, his Son, were major role models, very positive, in my professional life. We must always remember that in Life - Success is the result of many experiences - often filled with both Sacrifice and Suffering. Often this is not a voluntary choice. But this we must accept. With gratitude. I thank you for your friendship. May we continue to thank our Creator for each one of our daily gifts. Warmly and Respectfully, George

Dear Georgia, All the Lucas's & Extendended Family,

My foundest memory of Tom is when he offered me a ride on the back of his first motorcycle in the alley behind our childhood houses on King Street in Alexandria, VA. I'll never forget his expression when he accidently went over the curb and I fell off the back end and went into the road. He immediately stopped and turned around to help me up and then we both laughed. Perhaps this was a precursor to his budding medical career. On behalf of all the Lampshire's please except our condolences. Tom served mankind and his country well.

Dear Lucas Family, I am so sorry to know that Dr. Lucas has left this world, as he was so valued and loved here. It is so hard to lose someone who is so full of love, support, knowledge, and a drive to do good.
I pray that you all are comforted and find peace through this time. All my love.

Georgia,
CarolAnn joins me in remembering pleasant, happy times we shared together, from a chance meeting in a Charleston coffee shop before you embarked on one of Tom's foreign service assignments to more organized times related to class reunions. Many of us will miss Tom and his quite sense of humor. We will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.
Gene and CarolAnn Adcock

I had the pleasure of meeting Tom many years ago. I became very close to the Lucas/Mcfadden family through my incredibly beautifull & unforgetable girlfriend at the time, Seana.
I didn't know Tom as much as I would have liked, but I do know that he was loved by all and allways brought smiles to those around him. All of my love to him and his family, may he rest in peace.

Dear Georgia,
Debbie and I were saddened to learn of Tom's passing. We adored him as a person, admired his service to others, and were proud to be among the earliest of his patients here.
I informed my brother David (who now has a practice in Wichita, KS) about Tom, whose residency in Anderson overlapped his, and he forwards his deepest sympathy.

Georgia and Alex,
It was a pleasure and privilage for me to sereve with Tom in Haiti last year. He will be dearly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
his impact on earth for the lord was tremendous. I look forward to see him again in heaven.
Love and prayers
Teresa, Patrick, Isabella, and Sophia

To the Lucas family
The times at Davidson we had in Tom's remarkable automobile (of sorts) remain unforgettable with his wonderful sense of humour. Although brilliant, he was always down to earth and fun with a balance that clearly led to love of all people and contributions throughout the world. I just regret we did not reunite with these warm memories. My profound sympathy and prayers for you.

Dear Lucas Family,
We are so sorry to hear of your loss and want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Some of my best memories of Davidson are of times with Tom. I have thought of him often, always believing that we surely would get together again one of these days. I am saddened to know that that reunion is not to be. I will miss it -- and Tom, but I will always remember him and the great times we shared.

TO: Georgia Hansen Lucas,
On behalf of Tom's college class, I extend our sincere condolences and love to you and to all your family at your loss of him. Blessings and peace to you all at this time of celebrating a life well lived, even as you grieve your loss.

Dear Lucas family,

My deepest sympathy and prayers are with you at this time. It was an honor to care for Dr. Lucas. He was always very kind and appreciative. He was very lucky to have such a loving wife and family.

Georgia, Sarah and I send our heartfelt sympathies to you and your family at this difficult time.

As you know, Tom and I shared many wonderful times together while at Davidson together. To this day, his half operating automobile is the frequent subject of conversation.

Tom's career helped countless people, and for this we are all proud of his efforts.

Hugs.

Worth Williamson

It is of great sadness to hear of the loss of Dr. Tom Lucas. I worked with him in the Emergency Room at Baker Hospital and found him to be an exceptional physician.
Judy Walters, R.N.

With deepest sympathy and prayers for all of you at the death of Dr. Tom. I remember him so fondly from the days of the "new" Baker Hospital. He was always so kind to everyone and a devoted physician. May God grant you comfort and peace. Ruth Padgett RN

Dear Leslie and Mrs. Lucas,
I was so sad to hear of Dr. Lucas' passing. I have many happy memories spent at 101 Rutledge. He was always very kind to me, and I could tell that he was so in love with you, Mrs. Lucas. As a teenager, I especially enjoyed Sunday brunches at that little cafe on Meeting St. with your family and late night oatmeal cookies. Having lost my daddy just three years ago, I feel for you all. I'll be praying for your entire family.
Blessings and Peace,
Ellen Sloan Nietert

He was such a wonderful person and will be missed tremendously.

It was a privilege to have known him.

I met Tom for the first time only a few years ago, when I was invited by his sister, Alex, to vacation with her and her family in Charleston. There are not many people that you meet in your journey through life that leave a lasting impression, but Tom was certainly one of them. I will always remember his warm smile, the mischievous twinkle in his eye, easy charm and of course his sense of humour. Although I did not know him well, it did not take long to realize a great admiration and respect for the kind of person he was. The love and devotion that both he and Georgia shared was very obvious and I hope that will comfort her in this very difficult time. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends. Georgia, my deepest sympathy.
