I have such fond memories of Uncle Johnny. He was very kind-hearted, and would always go out of his way to help his family, friends and even strangers. His true goodness can be measured in the positive impact he had on the lives others.
When I visited Connecticut in July, I went to a reunion of friends that I have known since childhood. Many of them asked, 'How is Uncle Johnny doing?' Then we laughed about his funny sayings or the stories he used to tell. He was a great storyteller.
Though I will miss him terribly, I will never forget him. I am very proud of his service to our country and to call him my uncle.
Love always,
John

Kedves Janos bacsi,
O, Istenem. Hol tudok kesdeni.
On mindig oly buszke a Magyar orokseg es hogy resze egy csalad tizenot gyermekek.
A harom generacio unokahuga es unokaoccsei te voltal a Patriarka a Lucsky csalad.
Dear Uncle Johnny,
Oh my God. Where can I begin.
You were always so proud of your Hungarian heritage and being part of a family of fifteen children. With three generations of nieces and nephews you were the Patriarch of the Lucsky family.
We have celebrated and acknowledged you on Father's Day each year because you were more than an Uncle to us. You were with us every day and we will never forget all that you've done for us and how much you are appreciated.
Every family should be so fortunate to have an "Uncle Johnny" like you. You always had a funny story to make us laugh and smile.
I will truly miss you and you will be in my heart always.
I love you Uncle Johnny.
Love,
Anna

Uncle Johnny was a wonderful man. He will truly be missed and will never be forgotten.
Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.

Dear family of Uncle Johnny
Yesterdays ceremony was a fitting tribute to the man we all loved. The flag draped his coffin as a tribote to his military years and his world series Yankee jacket and hat hung to the left. The priest Father Kovacs spoke fondly of John and the Yanks. Unbeknownst to us the priest is Hungarian and knew Uncle Pete from the Hungarian restaurant they both dined at.
At St. Peters cemetery U.J. was given full military honors which included a gun salute and the sounding of taps. After a brief eulogy we all placed roses on his blue casket and bid him farewell.

Sadly the three of us didn't have the chance to know Johnny a.k.a. UJ but what we do know is that he was very much loved by his friends and family. Joseph Lucsky, our father, will miss you terribly and the memories he has will forever be in his heart. Our thoughts are with all of Johnny's family and friends today and always.

My Uncle Johnny was my best friend and hero. He always filled my life with happiness, and didn't have a mean bone in his body. I spent a great deal of time with him throughout my life, and now I can't imagine my life without him. I can't believe that he's gone, and although he's passed it still feels as if he's with us. I will miss taking him places like the Sycamore and to antique shops, and now I have to figure out what I'm going to do on my saturdays from now on. Everyone who knew him loved him, and I know that this is not the end, it is merely the beginning. I love you Uncle Johnny. Your Beautiful Dreamer,

Our father speaks often of his family back east, you are all a part of his everyday life in his heart and thoughts and he loves each and every one of you. When I was a child I can remember asking dad many times to tell me a story about his childhood, his sisters and brothers, his mom and dad, games he played and his hometown, Danbury. Through the years when dad would come home after his annual visit to Danbury I looked forward to his stories. I really never understood the closeness my dad felt for his brother John until now---living so many miles apart from each other I didn't think that was possible. Dad loved you John and when you left I think a part of his soul went with you. When dad talks of his family he smiles, chuckles and even laughs at times. It was so long ago when dad, mom, my brother David and myself drove all the way from California to Danbury for a visit I still have a memory or two of that visit. I will always be there to hear dads stories after his annual visits. Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you - Hebrews 13:5 May God's promise of eternal life be of some comfort to you in your time of sorrow. With deepest sympathy

Johnny, you are the last of the brothers.
I will miss you so much. Something will be missing when I visit Danbury next. Your in my thoughts and memories. I love you, Joseph
My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family. I have only seen Johnny 3 times in my years in the family but what I know and have observed, Johnny was loved by everyone.He was missed when he wasn't around. I knew him as one who liked to laugh, and tell stories. He loved his family - that was evident. God Bless his soul. He is in such a better place now.
I am so sorry for your loss. Love, Yvonne

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
