James Edward Lucas

James Edward Lucas, United States Air Force retired, finished his life journey on July 9, 2015. That journey took him from Deming, New Mexico, his birthplace, to Thailand, Greenland, Europe and several Air Force bases in Arizona and California, where he retired. Know to family and friends as "Ed", he cherished his wife, Oma, and children: Nancy Hubbard (Judd) of Modesto, Carolyn Florence (Bryan) of Folsom, and son Bryan Lucas of Stockton. Three grandchildren will remember giggles and games they played with grandpa. They are Stacie Watts (Todd) of Modesto, Bryce Hubbard (Rikki) of Riverside, and Hannah Hubbard (fiancé Stephen) of Monterey. Three great-grandchildren were beyond special to Ed. They are Stephanie of Modesto, and Carter and Cora Hubbard of Riverside.

Ed leaves three sister: Betty Cummings (Ernest) of Arizona, Bonnie Adkisson (Lee) of Arkansas, and Cindy Hawkinson (Bill) of Hollister. Nieces, nephews, and cousins will remember many good family times.

Ed was preceded to Heaven by his mother, Ethel Morris Lucas, his father, Clentis Lucas, sister Geraldene, brother Don, and granddaughter Carrie Jane Hubbard.

Ed and Oma Lou Ward were married in Lathrop in 1951. He was just out of basic training. They moved to Lancaster, CA to begin their 63 year journey together. As in all journeys, there were exhilarating happy times and times of overwhelming pain and grief. Their faith, their love, and family support have carried them from challenge to challenge.

It has been said that the measure of a man is found in the people left behind who loved him. If true, we will remember a successful man because of the journey he made.

The family sends sincere thanks to the Stockton firefighters at Station 7, Hospice of San Joaquin and Creekside Care Home. All gave unfailing care and compassion.

Memorial contributions may be made to Hospice of San Joaquin.
