Lucas touched the hearts of anyone who knew him. He was a great conversationalist and dazzled many friends and parents.
Lucas will be remembered for spending hours in the garage modifying his car, his high-fashion style (especially his collection of sneakers), his love of music, and his magic smile. He was looking forward to attending classes at Skidmore College this fall. He will be greatly missed by all those who knew him.
