Sharp Dressed Man
Lucas had a unique sense of style. He would rather give every penny he had to the homeless than spend it on an article of clothing for himself. His favorite was the “Harris Family Vintage” line. One in particular was the “buy low, sell high” shirt. We even joked about how we shared a wardrobe during college, as his fashion sense began to have an impact me. His laid-back approach to fashion along with his Harry Connick Jr good looks almost jump-started a modeling career. At his debut session in Atlanta, the photographer was stunned by his wrinkled attire, while he proudly posed for the pictures. Wrinkled clothes were never a concern for Lucas, especially when it was his turn to do the Laundry. When he lived on Payne Street, he was famous for the 2′ pile of clothing that carpeted his bedroom floor. He was too busy making people smile to waste time doing the laundry.

That reminds me – when he was here in March, we took him to a little nyc boutique to shop. of coarse, he had absolutely no interest in shopping, but he did happen to look at the price tags. he almost had a heart attack! later that day, we got to talking about how the only thing he ever wore was hand-me-downs from chance, gabe and even our grandad, and he said, yea it’s great to never have to buy your clothes but it sure does make for an awkward moment when you walk into a store and realize you have absolutely no idea how much anything costs!
