Thanks for being there for all of your students.

Mr. Lucas was probably the biggest influence to me during my High School years. Although I never had the opportunity to fully express it to him, he has truly inspired me to become the person I am today. "Because nice matters." These few words embody everything that I life for and everything that I strive to achieve. His constant aura of positivity greatly influenced my decision to enter the healthcare industry, so that I may also be able to serve, inspire, and influence others the same way that he did for me. I have never met a more selfless person than he, and I can only hope to become a fraction of the great person that he was. Although he is no longer with us, his teachings and influences will live on forever in those that were lucky enough to spend even a moment with this great leader. I know he is up above looking and caring after each and every one of us, and his legacy will live on forever in my heart, and in the heart of all those he led and inspired.

My condolences to the Lucas family. He was a wonderful supportive principal. -Pratima Munagala (Class of 2000)

It breaks my heart to hear of Mr. Lucas' passing. He was a guiding light and supportive friend for all of his students, and we miss him dearly. My deepest condolences to his family.

Fred was my teacher and friend. I am only sorry I lost contact with him. May he rest in peace. Tom Pirrone Bergenfield,New Jersey class of 1968

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

My condolences and sympathy goes out to your family and close friends. He will be greatly missed.

It was unbelievable to hear the news of his passing. Mr. Lucas was truly a great man, the best principal Holmdel High School has ever seen. None ever came close to him after the administrative changes. "Because nice matters" was his motto, it changed HHS tremendously when it was being torn by hatred, violence, and racial discrimination. He was a true friend to his students, and it made my high school years there a great experience (1997~2001). It was a great loss to the school when he was forced to leave, and it is a great loss now to us all in the community now that he is gone. My highest regards and salute to a great leader. Kuangwei Hwang Class of 2001

Mr. Lucas was a wonderful man who helped make my high school experience a great one. I will miss him greatly.

Dear Patty, I can't tell you how sorry I am for your loss. Fred was the principal my first year at the HS, I will never forget how he welcomed me and my little class with open arms and a warm heart. He had a way of making everyone feel special and important, especially my students. The kids loved him, his wonderful smile and humor. He will be greatly missed. Love, Amy Clark and Family

I was Fred's massage therapist for many months. He was my first client and will always be my favorite. Even when he was feeling bad, Fred had a smile on his face and a joke to make me laugh. He is a wonderful, generous soul and I feel blessed to have known him.

Fred was a dear friend, and will be missed... I will never forget his kind ways, his warmth and sense of humor...farewell my dear!

The world has lost a truly nice human being. Unanski Family

Dear Pat and family, Our paths crossed while our daughters, Jill & Lori were students at Holmdel High School (92-98). Mr Lucas was a wonderful, caring, influence in all our lives. He was always the "helping-hand" with the cheerful attitude. It was a pleasure to have known him and I know he will be missed. Please accept our deepest sympathy at this sad time. Our prayers are with you. Very truly yours, Jill, Lori, Alene & Cas Kleczko

Dear Kim and Family, My heartfelt sympathies to you and your family at this time. May God provide you with his grace and love as you embrace your loss. My deepest sympathies, MaryAnn D'Amico

I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you and your family.

Patty and family, I'm not sure if we ever met at one of Fred's reunions, but wanted to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. He was always one of my most favorite people in high school, and was probably one of the sweetest, most kind men I have ever known. He always has a smile on his radiant face, and ALWAYS cared about others...I knew that he would be successful and loved, but didn't know that he only had 60 years with us all....Thank you for taking such good care of him while he was here. I know that he will be sadly missed by you all. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Much love and peace. Jan

My heart and prayers are with you and your family. God Bless you!

Kim, Please know that my thoughts are with you and your love ones during this unfortunate time. My deepest condolences, Blake

Dear Patty and family - I just read about Fred's passing in the newspaper. I am truly saddened. Fred was genuinely a nice guy. Her made a lot of friends and encouraged many of Holmdel's children to succeed. He will be remebered and missed. I would have come to the service tomorrow, but we are going on vacation and won't be here. I know that there will be a great outpouring of support for Fred. I hope your memories will give you support during this difficult time and provide comfort in the future. - Fondly Betsi Keshish
