He met the love of his life, the late Mrs. Doris Gray Lusane, and married on August 31, 1963. Upon this union of forty- eight years, seven children were born. He was very dedicated as a husband, father, granddad, and uncle. He loved his family, and made sure all of their needs and some of their wants were met.
He attended the New Era Community public-school system in Sumter County, Georgia. At an early age, he knew the meaning of hard work. Throughout his adult life he held jobs at Redman Mobile Homes and Champion Home Builders until he became inspired to start his own business. Through Lusane-n-Sons, his trade as a handyman will continue to be passed from generation to generation. He could fix and repair anything. As a lifetime handyman, his skills, diligence, and willingness to help others won him many admirers and loyal customers. Later in life, he picked up a new role as security of Dorothea’s Beauty Salon and Lusane’s Car wash.
Deacon Lusane was a faithful and dedicated member at Old Corinth Missionary Baptist Church in Leslie, GA, now under the leadership of Reverend, Dr. C.L. McKinstry. He served as treasurer of the church building fund, he offered church transportation services, and provided many other services from childhood until his death. His most revered role in the church was deacon in which he served faithfully for a number of years.
He was a quiet and humble man that enjoyed the simple things in life. He watched Judge Judy daily and ate at local restaurants with friends. His motto was, “Life, Health, and Strength.” These words guided him in everything.
