In the early morning hours of Saturday, March 12, 2022, Herbert Hoover “Bun” Lucy, 93, of North Conway, N.H., passed away peacefully at Genesis Healthcare Mineral Springs in North Conway.

Born Nov. 8, 1928, at his family home on the West Side Road, North Conway, Bun arrived during that year’s presidential election. Legend holds that his mother Irene, a staunch Republican and in labor in the days leading up to the election, was not able to make it to the polls. She had asked Bun’s father Arthur, a staunch Democrat, not to go to the polls as she would be unable to offset his vote, which had been their longstanding political arrangement.
