I just learned about Jack's passing, and I am very sorry that Fran and I did not make the funeral. There are people who have given me guidance, support, and encouragement. Jack was, for me, one of those very, very special people who brought out the best in me and for the best intentions. He was so very kind and considerate to allow me to speak at the many V-J ceremonies in Pawtucket. He helped me get my thoughts in order, and present my case. Fran and I say "What a nice man." We will miss him, and we offer our deepest condolences to Yvonne and all of his family.

To the Lucas family, our deepest sympathies at this very sad time. Hugs and prayers to all of you.
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
