Robert Lucas Obituary
June 28, 1943 - August 13, 2020
Citrus Heights, California - At the age of 77, passed away from a 2 1/2 year battle with cancer, on 8/13/2020, at home.
Born 6/28/1943 at St Ann's hospital in Columbus Ohio. Son of Rachel and Walter Lucas
He owned and ran Lucas Vending Repair until retirement. Prior to that he made a career in the military and served his country for 27 years in the Air Force.
He loved his family, classic cars, fishing, traveling, and telling stories. He had faith in people and would help anyone he could. He would give you the shirt off his back.
Surviving are his children;
Pamela Yontz(Donald) of Columbus, OH
Theresa Lucas of Grand Junction, CO
Michelle Lucas of Citrus Heights, CA
Robin Armstrong(Brad) of Pataskala, OH
Tim Smith(Kathy) of North Highlands, CA-whom Bob referred to as the son he never had,
Sister Delores Ferguson of Citrus Heights, CA, 8 grandchildren and many great grandchildren.
Preceded in death by his parents, wife Bonnie, sister Ila Baum, mother-in-law Fay Weaver and son-in-law David Umpstead
During the final days of his life he was asking if anyone had seen his wife. He loved and missed her so much. How ironic or incredibly romantic that he passed away on their 43rd wedding anniversary.
Funeral services will be at a later date at Arlington National Cemetery

When I met Bob, I had felt as though I had known him forever. He had a easy going personality that just made friendship easy. He liked to laugh and make things fun. I learned something new every time I was in his presence. He will truly be missed by everyone who knew him. I know what he meant to my sisters. My heart breaks for their loss as they navigate through the stages of grief. Everyone continues to be in my prayers. God Bless.

There will not be a day that goes by that I will not be thinking of this man, how strong he was and how much love he had in his heart. He was always supportive of me and even expressed it during his final days. He’s always been my rock and now he’s my guardian angel and watching over me.

I can’t believe I met Bob in the late 80s. He was Michelle’s hero. He was always so supportive of her and it was so sweet how close he and Michelle’s husband were. Rest In Peace.

Bob was a generous, funny, creative, wonderful man. He had so many great qualities, I cannot list them all. He is truly missed.
