Obituary for Francis Patrick Lucey Jr.

ENFIELD – Francis P. “Frank” Lucey, Jr., 88, entered into eternal rest on Friday, April 12, 2019. Born in Holyoke, MA, son of the late Francis P. and Margaret M. (Sullivan) Lucey, he grew up in Springfield graduating from Springfield Technical High School, class of 1950. He attended Bryant College in Rhode Island. As an Army veteran of the Korean conflict, he attained the rank of Sergeant First Class receiving the Bronze Star for meritorious achievement in ground operations against the enemy. He also received the Ambassador of Peace award from the Republic of Korea. Frank retired from United Technologies Corporation after thirty-eight years. While there he golfed with the Lunar League and in 1976 had a hole in one. He was an avid golfer and enjoyed his yearly retreats to Mt. Snow in Vermont. He was able to play until recent because of friends Ron and Terry. He was a loyal fan of the Patriots, a Red Sox season ticket holder for over fifty years and he enjoyed watching the UConn women’s basketball games on TV. Frank loved the time spent with family at Hawk’s Nest in Old Lyme, CT. Trips to England, Scotland, France and Hawaii with Pat and Dan and the drive cross country from Connecticut to California with his wife were treasured memories. His grandchildren meant the world to him and he was their biggest fan at every event in their lives. From school plays, award ceremonies to sports. Every one of them. He leaves his wife of sixty-six years, Lois M. (Trites) Lucey, who took the best care of him through sickness and health. He will be missed dearly by his children, Francis P. Lucey, III and his wife Patricia of Chicopee, Karen E. Parsons and her husband Doug of Suffield, Lynda L. Flanagan of Enfield, and David J. Lucey of Enfield. Ten grandchildren, Alan, Eric, Nora Parsons, Jerry, Jennifer, Lindsay, Sarah, Kelsey Flanagan, McKayla, Jillian Lucey. Great-grandchildren, Ethan, Kÿe, Kyah and Brenna Lee and a brother, Richard Lucey and his wife Patricia of Reading, MA and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by a son-in-law, Jerry Flanagan.
