Mrs. Robert F. Lucas and Family,

I am deeply sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Lucas. He was a very nice man. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Lucas Family,
Please accept our deepest sympathy. Mr. Lucas was by far the best, most honest, and helpful lawyer our family ever met. We recommeded him to all our friends and family.
No one will ever be able to explain legal issues, to the common person, as he was able to do.
I told him he should have his own talk show, so all the world would be able to benefit from his knowledge and honesty. He laughed like only he could, but everyone who knew him would positively agree that there really should have been a 'Robert Lucas' lawyer show!
He is being truly missed and loved.
With much sympathy, appreciation, and love.
Roxanne, Gary & Joel Bergendahl, & Prudence White
