Stanley Lucas

Stanley Lucas died at home on July 22, 2024.  Born January 11, 1965, in Metter, Georgia, Stanley was the son of the late Janie Francis and Albert Lucas. He spent most of his life living in Candler County but traveled all over the United States for 20 years while employed with Bulldog Construction.  Stanley was even in New York on 9/11.  After leaving construction, Stanley worked around Hendricks farm and helped take care of the family and property.

Stanley was a friend to all and never met a stranger.  He could fix anything and was always resourceful and dependable.  On the farm Stanley planted and tended a garden and shared generously.  Spending so much time with Miss Lorine, he learned to make her 14-layer chocolate cake as well as her secrets to canning and freezing produce.
