John Iii
d. January 15, 2011
John H. Lucas, III 68 of Pasadena, died Saturday evening January 15, 2011 in Mt. Juliet, Tenn. Affectionately known as "Jack," he was in Nashville with his wife Joanne visiting his son Chris, a singer for the country duo LoCash Cowboys, daughter-in-law Kaitlyn and grandson Caden when he passed away.
A 24 year resident of Pasadena, Jack was born August 14, 1942 in Baltimore. He graduated from Wicomico Senior High School in Salisbury in 1960. He served from 1960-1966 in the United States Army.
For 32 years, Jack was employed by Bank of America before retiring in 2002. In his retirement Jack worked for Big Vanilla Athletic Clubs in both Arnold and Pasadena. A staple at the clubs, his infectious smile and booming laugh brought joy to club members and employees on a daily basis.
Outside of his professional life, Jack was a mainstay at Archbishop Spalding High School Athletics Hall of Fame for "Unparalleled Service" as it reads on his induction plaque. A life-long Baltimore sports fan, Jack loved the Orioles, Colts, Terps and ultimately the Ravens.
He was preceded in death by his father John H. Lucas, Jr and his mother Frances Lucas.
