Robert Henry Lucas

Of course Rob was a MadNorSki, and selflessly donated time and energy to the sport of XC skiing. My thanks to his family for supporting him as he contributed so many hours to the betterment of ski-sport, especially here in Dane County. Heia Rob, we'll miss you! - Tony Hartmann

He's in there somewhere!

I first met Rob when our mutual friend Rachel Potter - who taught with Rob - said, 'He's a fellow skier and a great guy'. Rob was more than a skier - he was a gonzo skier! He inspired me to work just a bit harder in the Elver series. But I'd remember the ease and fun of skiing seeing Rob and Angie and friends spring skiing at Blue Mounds - stopping to talk more than skiing! I'll miss Rob.

Rob was incredibly welcoming to our family as we joined the local xc ski community & Madnorski junior team. He had words of greeting, advice, and humor every time we showed up for practice. We saw Rob in races, sporting a tutu, and the message was clear: don't take yourself too seriously! We'll miss Rob, but will remember his kindness and sparkle. Angie and all the family are in our thoughts and prayers. Carol, Paul, Henry & Will Barford

Dear Lucas family, It is so sad to read that Mr. Lucas has passed away. May your memories of him as well as a hope of being reunited one day - John 5:28,29 - bring you the peace and comfort you need at this time.
