Mr. Rodriguez was always so kind and friendly. I remember him coming to Dillons at 13th and West when I worked there with Luke and Toby in high school, and saw him at many school functions. I always loved seeing his smile. My condolences to the entire family.

Don and I were so sorry to learn of Lucas’ passing! What fun we had in our skybox at Eck Stadium with Lucas, Ray and other family members watching Shocker games! Lucas was a fine gentleman who will be missed by all who knew and loved him.

We were so blessed to have been friends with Lucas. We both worked with Lucas at the Post Office and shared many memories there and away. We’d often see Lucas at the restaurant, the kids ballgames, Shocker basketball, or Church. He always brought a smile and a laugh. Our prayers are with you Dee and family as we’ll all miss such a wonderful soul.

I worked with Lucas at the post office for years. We were both involved with the American Postal Workers Union too. He was a friend as well as co- worker. I could always go to him when I couldn’t remember where some theater or restaurant had been or talk about old movies. I’m glad to see he lived a long life. He talked often about family so I’m sure he will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with Dee and his family.
