To Jennifer & the Lutsky family, I posted my condolences & tried to find the group at facebook. I'm not a computer wiz so if you would email me at [email protected] or send me a friend request at facebook paul wilks or at myspace.com/hardlikker in the music section I would greatly appreciate it. Again very sorry. Paul Wilks

On tuesday the 24th I was celebrating my 53rd birthday inspite of my most motorcycle wreck & broken pelvis & tailbone. My sister called me here in Kansas City to wish me happy bday & quick recovery. Then she asked me if I knew Sandy. I knew it sounded past tense & told her me & Dave McCullough, (Sandys nextdoor neighbor) hung out together listening to Hendrix, Traffic, all the great music coming out at the time and doing the crazy things teenage boys do or at least did back then. We were all best friends at the time. I got sent off at 15 & we lost track of each other. It was a shock to hear of his passing & I wish we had of stayed in touch over the years. I'm sure Jennifer remembers me. To all who knew & loved him I send my heartfelt condolences. Paul Wilks. P.S. If you remember me you can find me on facebook or myspace.com/hardlikker in the music section. I'd love to hear from you. Jam on in the the heavens Sandy. See you there but not too soon I hope. Peace.

Luts and I were business/music/joke buddies. Over the years we attended many concerts including Springsteen, Knopfler (twice), and we hung out just basically riffing off each other's life experiences at the time. Luts lived totally in the present and the immediate future - the past basically consisted of a mental record of concerts he had atttended and back-stage passes he had received. Speaking of records he had a very extensive collection of vinyl that he loved to sit and listen to in the dark and try to identify the lost notes that didn't come through as well on CDs. I truly think Sandy packed more living into the 50 some years he lived than most people will ever experience. I am sad to lose him and I promise to try and give as much support as I can to his lovely wife Elaine and his wonderful son Michael to try and help them to get used to not having Sandy around in the flesh. He will always be with us in spirit - and every time I hear a great band I will think of him and the Born in the USA concert he made me go to with him when I said I didn't like Springsteen.

I have fond memories of meeting Alex before a Springsteen concert couple years back. My "go-to guy" for guitar info, he was always eager and willing to share his advice and knowledge. My condolences to the Lutsky family and friends, we will all miss Alex.

I'd like to wish my deepest condolences to Jennifer, Maggie, Marilyn and the rest of your family. I didn't know Sandy but from reading these entries he sounds like someone I only wish I'd had the pleasure to meet. Sorry I won't be able to attend the service but my thoughts are with you all.

Time stands still when I think of 1972 and 73 Rockin at the Lutsky home.

I would like to send my sympathies to the family of Alexander Lutsky. I knew Sandy from Don Mills Collegiate and bumped into him in Scarborough a few times when I lived there. I also managed to exchange only a few words with Sandy and his sister Jennifer at the 2009 Don Mills Reunion. A great guy that I will truly remember for ever. My condolences again to Jennifer and the Lutsky family.

I am so saddened to hear of Alex's passing. I will never forget the many years of friendship I was fortunate enough to have enjoyed with him. My deepest condolences to Elaine and Michael.

To many of us Don Millionians of the 70's era, Sandy was a true original. He was famous. Being anything less than successful was never an option. He lived his life on his own terms, made up the rules and went for it. Sandy was colourful, pragmatic and above all relentless. The memories of our lives when experienced in his company are indellible.

I was afraid that the notice in the Globe was the Sandy that I knew many years ago - once I saw Jeff Grottick's note, my fears came true. Yes, he lit up a room then, and music is how I too knew him. Walls upon walls of records of his and his dad's. Jamming in his home. Big smile, a real character, didn't know him well but a very memorable fellow. I am so sorry for your loss. I will think of Sandy in song when I sit at the piano.

My condolences to Alex's family. I recently heard about his accident. Alex jammed with our band for many years. Alex gave us all the gift of sweet sounds that only he could bring out of his Gibson Les Paul.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Sandy's passing today. It was a pleasure to have known him over the years and to have had the opportunity to catch-up with him at the DMCI Reunion in May. Sandy taught me how to play the song "Blackbird" on the guitar about 35 years ago. Every time I play it I think of him.

I was so sad to hear about Sandy and wish the outcome had been different. What a weird way to become reacquainted with extended family - I am glad, though, to have been able to pass a bit of time with you in the hospital. You really have to treasure every moment on earth since it takes only one moment to change your life - Steve was lucky, Sandy was not. I'm so sorry... We're all thinking of you and my Dad sends his best. I know that he'll miss Alex a lot.

Please accept my sincerest condolences. Alex was a person who always came across to others in a good way. He would call me often to offer his advice for my financial matters and to discuss current events. He will be missed.

Please accept my sincerest condolences, Alex was myt trusted financial advisor for many years and was always kind and helpful to me. He was reliable and direct and a very nice man. I am so shocked by the accident--being a physician I called the hospital a couple of times to see how he was doing--it seemed he was making progress.
My best wishes to the family at this time of sorrow.
