Mr. Lucas was an incredible being. As one of his students from Wilson Middle School; class of 2000, I was blessed to know him. He knew all of our names and had little inside jokes or sayings with each of us! Truly a once in a lifetime experience to know a man like him. May God rest his soul and take him to heaven because knowing him was a little piece of heaven on earth. 

I am sad to hear Principal Lucas passed away. Thanks to his efforts, I was able to attend Woodrow Wilson Middle School. I owe him a lot. My journey would have not been the same without him.

I remember all the happy times talking and joking with Rich.  He was truly one of a kind.  He was totally relatable to students, staff and parents alike.  A great rare man who cared about everyone. After one year he is still very missed!

I remember fondly the many times that I enjoyed with Rich from 1990-2010.  I was part of his circle of friends who enjoyed playing basketball with him on many occasions after school and during the Wilson Middle School basketball carnivals.  He was a really good athlete and competitive like myself.  Since I was a counselor at Wilson I shared the same office area with Rich.  His sense of humor was similar to mine and we would laugh all the time.  He was so very supportive of his staff and made sure we had everything we needed.  He was my good friend and colleague.  I truly loved the man and everything he stood for.  RIP my dear friend!!
