Lucian's father passed away when Lucian was 8 years old. At an early age he quit school to take care of his mother and siblings.

Upon exiting the military, he met the love of his life and on September 25, 1954, in Tyler County, he married Bonnie Arbelle Read. They were married for 58 years. They moved to Marshall where he went to work for Thiokol for a couple of years, before starting his career with the postal service, where he again served his country faithfully for 30 + years.
