State Rep. Tim Brennan, D-Bucks, introduced legislation cosponsored by state representatives Jamie Barton and Tim Twardzik, both R-Schuylkill, on October 28 to honor former state Rep. Edward “EJ” Lucyk, who represented the 123rd Legislative District for 11 terms from 1980-2002. Born on July 29, 1942, in Shenandoah, Schuylkill County, known as Pennsylvania’s “Coal Region,” Lucyk passed away this year just a few weeks before his 83rd birthday.
