Lustig was a phenomenal teacher of the Bible. I always enjoyed hearing him at multiple YoungLife Clubs, and sermons at Church of the Holy Spirit. Everything he did and taught came from an overflow of love for Jesus and people. I can only imagine where he´s exploring first in the Kingdom of Heaven. Sending love and prayers to his family!

Mr. Lustig´s energy, empathy, ability to put himself out there to connect with students, passion for history, and storytelling style created a classroom environment I loved so much, that I became a history teacher. Throughout my 20 years of teaching in both middle and high school, I have used his method of success to model my teaching style. To his family- everyone student saw his love for you in the "off track" stories he would tell from time to time that were never really off track, just a...

Our hearts are with you cherished Lustig family ....at this time of unimaginable loss. Sharing the news of Peter´s passing with our kids - left all of us incredulous. As noted by all who wrote on this page - Peter wasn´t only an inspiring teacher, his integrity and light within - deeply touched the character, heart and soul of so many students and their parents ...as a role model of compassion, support and showing up always to believe in the opportunity for personal growth within each of...

Sending love and our deepest sympathy to Sharon, Daniel, and Debra. Mr. Lustig spoke warmly and proudly to our class about his wonderful wife and beloved children. He was the greatest teacher that my husband and I ever had. He made all of us students feel special and supported. Mr. Lustig's class was a haven that year when my mom got a cancer dx. He showed so much love and patience to a friend of ours with higher support needs, hosting a party in that classmate's honor one week. That...

Peter was a wonderful person that always greeted you with a smile ! He was such a happy go lucky person. I had the good fortune of having him and his family as a next door neighbor when we were much younger in age. My thoughts and prayers are with this wonderful family !

What a brilliant man, servant of God, and a true visionary. We worked together and I can say he taught me more than I could ever teach him. I am very sad to read this and wish his family and the entire Cave Spring community blessings. Earth's loss is heaven's gain.

Gonna miss you Lustig! You were a great phsych teacher. My heart and prayers go out to his family.

To the Lustig family, thank you for sharing Peter with all of his students for so many years. He was an amazing human being and taught us all so much more than history, he taught us how to think. We will never forget him.

Mr. Lustig cared deeply for his students and athletes and his high standards made each of us push harder and reach farther. May his memory be a blessing.
