Michael F. Lucier

February 26, 1945 — July 30, 2013

Michael F. Lucier, 68, of Cape Charles, VA, formerly of Milford, MA, died on July 30, 2013 at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, NC. He passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family after courageously fighting a short, aggressive battle with cancer. He was the loving husband of Jeanette (Rooney) Lucier. Mr. Lucier was born in Milford, the son of the late Edward J. and Helen G. (Kerns) Lucier. He attended the former St. Mary's Grammar School and graduated from the former St. Mary's High School in 1962. He received a Bachelor's Degree in Engineering from Virginia Tech in 1966. He was a resident of Virginia for the past 45 years. After working for General Electric for 27 years, Mr. Lucier retired in 2005. He was a very active Rotarian, serving as president of The Rotary Club of James City County during 2003 and 2004 and later as secretary of the Cape Charles Rotary Club. He was also a 4th Degree in the Knights of Columbus. But his real pride and joy was his family, including his wife of 39 years, two children and two grandchildren. He enjoyed spending time with his golf buddies and could be found on the links most Wednesdays and Fridays. If he was not on the course, he and his wife were likely on an adventure to somewhere spectacular like New Zealand, Italy, or Ireland. Travel became an annual ritual, and he had as much fun planning a trip as taking it. He was, as he often proclaimed, "living the dream." In addition to his wife, Mr. Lucier is survived by his son Michael L. Lucier and his wife Kimberly Blanton Lucier of Charlotte, NC; his daughter Amie M. Hows and her husband Melton Paul Hows of Houston, TX; and his grandchildren Tyson and Avery Lucier of Charlotte, NC. Mr. Lucier leaves behind seven sisters and four brothers: Sister Theresa Lucier, S.P., of Milford, MA, Marie Geraghty Campbell of Franklin, MA, Anne Connoni of Holliston, MA, Regina Langevin of Manomet, MA, Margaret Sullivan of Franklin, MA, Bernadette Lucier of Santa Monica, CA, Alice Scano of Hopedale, MA, Emery Lucier of Milford, MA, Joseph Lucier of Grover Beach, CA, Peter Lucier of Grover Beach, CA, and Paul Lucier of Sanford, ME; as well as many nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews. Mr. Lucier was the brother of the late Edward J. Lucier, Jr., the late Marie A. Lucier and the late Helen L. Ford. A Celebration of Life service will be held at 11am on August 17, 2013 at St. Charles Catholic Church in Cape Charles, VA. Reception to follow.
