Harry Lorenzo Lucas, Sr. was born on December 21, 1949 to the late Allen Lucas and Essie Bell Bartley in Clyo, Georgia. He went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Friday, September 11, 2015. As a child, Harry, Sr. attended Oak Grove Baptist Church and the Effingham County schools. At the age of 15, he moved to New Jersey to live with his father and worked as a professional architectural landscaper with Capital Landscaping in New Jersey for over 30 years. After retiring, Harry, Sr. relocated to Greensboro to be near his son, Harry, Jr. He joined Saint Paul Baptist Church shortly thereafter and served as the church landscaper until his health declined. Coming from a large family, Harry, Sr. loved to cook and take care of others. In 2008 he married Pearline Garner and inherited a large extended family that put his cooking skills to the test, often requesting his macaroni and cheese, cabbage and potatoes and baked chicken with the "special secret sauce." Landscaping was his passion and living "up north" developed his other passions: cooking and the New York Giants. When it wasn't football season, he enjoyed sitting in his chair watching the Cooking Channel, Moonshiners, Swamp People and The Haves and the Have Nots. He especially liked watching Family Feud and talking back to the television saying "that ain't up there." To cherish the memories of his wonderful meals, his smile, sense of humor, infectious laugh and stories of his childhood are devoted wife and caretaker, Pearline; his namesake, pride and joy, and fellow New York Giants fan- Harry, Jr., as well as LaMark, Lisa and Leonard(Linda)Garner; His Parents, Mr. Lucius and Mrs. Essie B.
