I learned a great deal just by watching him and my respect for him continued to...

I was just thinking about Col Luster and doing a search him. I'm sorry to hear of his passing. I was his Driver when he was the DISCOM CDR. I always loved driving for him and learned a lot about moral courage. He was a great example.

Valerie, so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. He was truly a great man! I remember him from your retirement. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Love and respect. Linda Bailey Campbell

Al was a model of his faith in Christ Jesus which was expressed through the church, his family, friends and chosen profession. He now awaits us in the ultimate assignment prepared for him by the Lord Himself. Be of great courage!

What an impressive life story and touching tribute! I never met him directly, but knowing the wonderful qualities in his daughter, Valerie, I am certain I missed out on an inspiring meeting (and a good joke or 2!)

Was honored and privileged to know this Godly man and his family. He was truly a man of God! God bless you and keep you all in His tender care today and the days to come. Love to all!
