Robert 'Bob' Glenn Lucas, age 74, passed away peacefully at St. Elizabeths 
Hospital in Red Bluff, CA, early Sunday morning December 18, 2005 with loved 
ones at his side. A Military service with full honors will be held at the 
Northern California Veterans Cemetery in Igo, CA, on Friday, January 6, 2006, 
at 10:00 a.m. Born August 11th, 1931, in Covington, Kentucky, Bob later 
settled in Bakersfield, CA where he met and married Linda J. Morris. Linda was 
Bobs bride for thirty-seven years. A graduate of Bakersfield Junior College 
and California State University Bakersfield, Bob served in the U.S. Navy from 
1951 to 1955 during the Korean War as the flight engineer of a VP47. He then 
began a very successful career in law enforcement, first from 1959 to 1965 as 
a Patrolman and Desk Sergeant with the Bakersfield Police Department, then 
from 1965 to 1975 with Kern County Probation as a Deputy Probation Officer and 
Supervising Probation Officer. In 1975 Bob moved to Red Bluff to serve as 
Chief Probation Officer with Tehama County Probation. He retired with honors 
from this position in 1981. Very involved in community service, Bob once 
served as president of the Red Bluff Rotary, was a member of the Tehama County 
Peace Officers Association, the Los Molinos Post 3909 of the Veteran of 
Foreign Wars, and the Tehama County Republican Central Committee. He was 
especially proud of his contributions as the founder and Administrator of the 
Literacy Council of Tehama County (Learning Center) from 1982 to 2002. The 
pleasures of his life were genealogy, fishing, traveling and the companionship 
of his beloved dogs and cats. Bob is survived by his wife, Linda J. Lucas of 
Red Bluff; a sister, Lois Adams of Atlanta, Georgia; daughter and son-in-law, 
Celia and John Andrade of Sacramento; son and daughter-in-law, Gregory and 
Andrea Lucas of Sacramento; and son, Jeremy Lucas of San Francisco;
