Jeffrey Paul Lucas

So very sorry to hear about this. I first met Jeff as a coworker during our mutual defense contractor phase of life. There he was, sitting in his new cubicle, a hand-painted portrait of Jean Luc Picard on the wall. We had many long conversations on various subjects. Many times I heard him on a phone call, when his voice would suddenly become sing-song and he would say "Hello Amanda!"

I was among many who helped the Lucas family move out of their townhome, which was packed to the...

I just learned of Jeff's passing today from Johnnie Marry (he worked up at the Mountain for years in the Orderly Room). What a shock! I worked up there for 13 years. I became acquainted with Mr. Lucas when I was employed as the secretary for the 721st Mission Support Group Commander. He certainly was an expert in his field (the "go-to" guy)and a true professional. I truly admired him. I retired from civil service back in April of 2012. I know that he'll be greatly missed by all the...

Jeff and I entered the USAF together in November of 1978. We trained together in Missiles, and were living in the same Bachelor Officers Quarters, both at Vandenberg, and our base of assignment in Grand Forks, ND.
Jeff was a consummate gentleman, and a true professional. It was with great distress that I happened upon the information of his passing.
My thoughts are with the Lucas family during this difficult time. Jeff will be sorely missed by all.

Jeff was a great person who tried to create calm in every storm. Deepest condolences to Dawn and family. Jeff is sorely missed.

For Jeff: This came to me today - although I've seen it before. It is, without a doubt the most stirring version of "Taps" I have ever heard.

I can't stop crying when this plays and I think of all my "comrades in arms" who have past, especially Captain Jeff Lucas who fought his kidney cancer to his recent end. I also think of the being a pall bearer for a boss, a Colonel, who was taken too soon...

I met Jeff over the air in the test world. I eventually met him in person and have always admired him. This world is going to miss him. God Bless.

I met Jeff at Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Base many years ago. He is going to be missed by many here. RIP, Jeff!

I met Jeff at the top of the world, Thule AB, we were part of a cirlcle of friends that later all landed up in Colorado Springs. I bought a ranch out east, and we met there for a few "reunions". We also shared "kittten brothers" as we had each adopted a brother of the other from the PPHS. We also shared a love of Sci-Fi - and we'd talk at length about the Dune series of books. Jeff was one of the rare breed known as "the good guys" - we'll miss him. If we can find buried photos from Thule or...
