There are so many memories that I want my family to read and remember! This wonderful son, husband, father, grandpa, great-grandpa, and friend but I'm going to share a few of my many favorites! If I'd ask Pacca he'd alway pull me around in a wagon hooked to the john deere tractor. Many years later after marriage and children of my own I watched my Pacca do the same very thing for my children! Bringing memories back to life and creating new ones! My next was the nickname he gave me Tabbaca, he was the only one to called me this and remembering the way he said it still makes smile! The last one is he's hands i know it sounds funny but almost everyday his hands were black covered in grease and dirt. As he washed his hands covered in black suds and he would wiggle his fingers as if to come and get me. I loved it! Everyday we live please remember the ones we love, get up everyday and thank god. Tell your family and friends that they important and loved. Please lord open your arms to all those that need your guidance and support. Time is all we need to heal and move forward. Robert Lucas will be remembered and loved in our memories so come together and remember! Hugs and kisses from 6 of your great grandchildren and a granddaughter and her husband!
