Lucas Guzman Medina

Lucas Guzman Medina, age 91, entered into Eternal Rest on Monday, January 13, 2020 at Ludlowe Center for Health and Rehabilitation in Fairfield. He was born in Peñuelas, Puerto Rico; son of Benito Guzman and Ramona Medina. Lucas proudly served with the United States Army in the Korean War.

After Lucas' service to our Nation, he went on to work at Sikorsky in Stratford and Bryant Electric in Bridgeport. He will be remembered as a social and friendly person, with the uncanny ability to strike up a conversation with anybody.
