He was preceded in death by grandfathers, Donald Franck, Philip Gibilisco and Thomas Stinchcomb. Luke was a skilled culinary professional and landscaper and passionate about nature and outdoor activities like snowboarding and hiking. He loved music and was well read and curious about the world. He was one of the most gentle and unconditionally loving and forgiving people we have ever known, as well as one of the greatest minds. He made friends everywhere, and is surely making friends in heaven.

You deserve more than one candle in my heart ... so I thought I'd light another one. I'm still crying and will always miss you ... even if I don't spell very well.

Wishing you everlasting comfort and peace.

Love you - Aunt Sandra

the only peace i am able to find is hoping that you are no longer hurting and have found peace yourself. I will never forget the memories i have with you from dread locks and the national geographic wanting to photograph you to that yellow puffy vest ,you were the original fist pumper, to all the laughs and good music we shared. My thoughts and sympathies go out to your family and to all your friends suffering out there who are unable to attend.
