Luke Askew

I always enjoyed his work. He was flawless on film. Amazing talent who deserved bigger roles. He will be missed.

He was better known as, Doc in High school . He played football! His real name is Milton Askew Jr. They changed it to " LUKE " for movie industry!

Watching Cool Hand Luke this evening.Enjoy your talents. May you rest in peace.

I met Luke in Portland at the hospital. A kind, wonderful man. I think about him often and you too Maggie.

Luke was my first cousin as his mother and my father were siblings. He was older, but I knew him when I was a youngster until he left Macon. In my youth, I was privileged to see him act in a couple of playe in Macon and even at that young age I recognized his talent. I still have a few photos of us together, but regret, not staying closer in touch and seeing him more through the years as I matured. Like many others, the older I get the more reflective I become and long to visit with relatives...

I've been a fan of westerns all my life, it's how I discovered Luke. Then I noticed him in all his roles most notably in the classic Cool Hand Luke as Boss Paul. Great that he lives on in reruns of his many roles.

A personal friend for many years and a fun person to hang around with. He visited me at my home in Coconut Grove, Miami, Florida in 1955.

I didn't know Luke personally, I did sense and recognized his qualities as a actor who seemed to make me feel comfortable with his talent as a actor and gentleman. I discovered Mr. Askew in Wanda Nevada and The Culpepper Cattle Co., I could sense his fellow actor's were happy he was on board, he brought friendship with his presence, I actively seek to watch all his work and movies as his style is unmatched. I regret our loss but cherish the time and movies he gave us.
