Carl John Luksic

As a tech-rep I worked with/for Col. Luksic in South Korea at Suwon Air Force Base 6146th Det 2 and he was one of the greatest military officers I ever met or Knew. He treated me very well and we shared great times together. Had I known of his passing I would certainly have tried to attend his visitation!

I shared a couple years with the Colonel in 1963-65. He was the greatest military person I ever met and dealt with. I was young and somewhat un--experiernced when he 'took me in' and treated me quite well. I feel we became great friends and he was one of the greatest military people I ever encountered.President Kennedy was assassinated while I served with him (Carl). I am sorry I never got to get back with him after tech-repping in S. Korea!

It's difficult when we lose someone we love to death no matter what the circumstances may be. May Our Heavenly Father the God of peace, comfort you during this difficult time. Hold fast to His promise at Psalm 46:9 which says "He is making wars to cease to the extremity of the earth. The bow he breaks apart and does cut the spear in pieces; The wagons he burns in the fire." What a glorious day we have to look forward to. You all are in my prayers.

A friend, an American Hero, and a fellow veteran. To know you was an honor and a priviledge. May you rest in peace.

I will never forget being a young private pilot during one of your visits here to Minneapolis. I was very excited when you and Carl agreed to go for a short evening flight with me in the little Cessna 172. I remember Carl asking to do a landing and that he made the smoothest landing using only elevator trim and power adjustments, rarely touching the control wheel. He taught me how to do the same and told me I "kissed it on". Ever since that flight my pilot skills have been superior. A great...

It was an honor to have known Col. Luksic. May he rest in peace.
