Lucky served in The National Guard and was a Mason.
Lucky enjoyed fishing and hunting with friends, and with son, David, on their "Man Outings". Lucky enjoyed taking his son and nephews on camping trips too. He created fun memories that will never be forgotten.
In the early 1980s, Lucky and Patsy built a beach cabin at Crystal Beach and spent many happy times there. They loved traveling, gardening, boating, and spending time with family.
