ObituaryOct 1, 2018  OBITUARY: It is with great sadness that the family of Earl Percy Lucas announces his passing on Monday, September 24, 2018, after battling pancreatic cancer. He was 77 years old. Even though the family grieves, we have great comfort in knowing that Earl believed and served our Lord Jesus Christ and believe confidently that he is enjoying a heavenly home.
Earl will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 52 years, Janet Lucas and their children Daniel (Renee) Lucas, Sarah (Toby) Malphurs, and Andrew (Gina) Lucas. He will be fondly remembered by his grandchildren: Joshua Cook, Erik Lucas, Reagan Lucas, and Joseph "Joey" Malphurs as well as many nieces, nephews, and cousins. He is also survived by his youngest brother Percy (Linda) Lucas and sisters-in-law Sylvia Lucas and Cecile Lucas. Earl was preceded in death by his parents Kenneth and Rose Lucas, his brothers Albert Lucas and Leonard Lucas, and his sisters Pearl (Roger) Favreau and Shirley Lucas.
Born on September 1, 1941, in Derby, VT, Earl was one of six children. He served as a cook in the US Air Force and was honorably discharged. Those that knew him well remember his tremendous passion for cooking and gardening; he was a chef and owner of a couple of restaurants, including The Wagon Wheel in downtown Newport, VT. In 1979, he moved the family from Vermont to Florida. He worked at Morrison's Cafeteria, Oaks Mall, Gainesville, FL, until retirement. Earl was a member of Orange Heights Baptist Church in Hawthorne, FL, and served as a deacon for many years. He used his gift of cooking as an outreach and service ministry to care for others by simply sharing meals.
Earl will be remembered by a service at Orange Heights Baptist Church (16700 FL-26, Hawthorne, FL 32640) on Saturday, October 6th at 11 am. The family would like to thank the community for such an outpouring of love. We ask that in lieu of flowers please send donations to the Building Fund at Orange Heights Baptist Church or Haven Hospice, in memory of Earl Lucas.
