I miss my uncle dearly. Our conversations where he injected his knowledge, wisdom and experience is what I missed the most. He was truly dedicated to family and the family misses that.

He opened up his dwelling for our visits when he didn't have to. A very good person.

A wonderful individual. I have known him since 1954 when he came to Irving-Swain Press, Inc looking for a job. An excellent worker at that early age.

Luther R. Gartrell, "Uncle Luke" is my uncle, last of the Georgia-born sons of the late Carl and Katie Gartrell. Wise, intelligent, humble, giant heart... D.I.Y. should be his middle initials. Much love to the family!

Luther was a good man, a friend and a brother! Luther kept me looking forward to the next day, to his engaging and insightful conversations! I learned from Luther! He knew the world around him! He had an engaging personality. We liked to talk about the many facets of the Civil War! Luther Gartrell made me smile; he made my life better! Luther will be missed! I extend my condolences to Bridget, Gina, Celena and the rest of his family and friends.
