Graves FH April 2024
Mr. Codjoe Elias Lucas entered eternal rest on Monday, April 8, 2024. He was 
born April 9, 1945, in Accra, Ghana, to the parents of Adjoa Nutsugah and Komi 
Sodjati.
Codjoe graduated from Pope John Secondary School in Accra, Ghana. He studied at 
the University of Cape Coast, University of Ghana, obtaining a degree in 
economics with a minor in French. He later became a United States citizen in 
1980 and began driving tractor trailers for JB Hunt Trucking Company. It was 
there that he gained an interest in Real Estate. He started selling properties 
for Century 21 Real Estate in the late 80s before establishing his own name as a 
realtor and stockbroker. He eventually started his own company titled Wilson and 
Lucas Real Estate. During this time, he met the love of his life Lillie Hamlin. 
The two dated for years before welcoming a daughter (Bridgette). They later 
settled down and were married on April 19, 1999. He later became a dedicated 
employee of Suffolk Public Schools and loved his co-workers and students.
In addition, Codjoe had many hobbies and accomplishments. He loved airplanes so 
much that he successfully completed training that gave him the skills to fly 
private aircraft. He enjoyed reading books, listening to classical music, 
traveling, watching CNN, and playing with electronic devices. He was a huge fan 
of futbol and tennis and would often watch matches with his daughter. Serena 
Williams was his favorite tennis player.
Also, family was important to Codjoe. He would enjoy playing with all three of 
his granddaughters. He loved his St. Mary's Catholic Family. Codjoe would attend 
mass every Sunday with his wife until his health started to decline.
He leaves to cherish his wonderful memories a loving wife (Lillie), his only 
daughter (Bridgette), a son, one step-son (Dialo), three beautiful 
granddaughters (Amiya, Akira, and Khazana), one brother (Kofi Koudama), two 
brothers-in-law (William Hamlin, Edward Everette), two sisters-in-law (Carolyn
