Not sure what to say?

There are still traces of Dr. Lueker in everything I do. Whenever someone was feeling down and needed a compliment, he would say the sweetest possible thing to them and then say, "so there." I do that now too. Always a happy memory

I met Dr. Lueker while teaching Bible classes at Northridge. I knew him to be an intelligent man but it was his humility that I admired most...his willingness to learn from others. He came to class with pen and paper, quick to jot down a scripture that struck a chord or a thought on a Bible character or quality that was being discussed. I appreciated his questions and interaction...his concerns for his spirituality. He was keen on life! I will miss him. My deepest sympathies to Mrs. Lueker...

Meg, I always enjoyed Dick as a colleague and friend. He had a wonderful sense of humor and was beyond kind. I am so glad he had so many years of happiness with you.

Dr. Lueker was the kindest, most generous, most caring gentle giant. He taught me patience and compassion for the people we serve, my coworkers, my family, and my friends. Dr. Lueker always asked me to call him Dick, but I could never haha. I always had too much respect for him to do that. I'm 2017 he honored me by being one of the people to hood me when I got my masters degree, a memory I cherish. I think of him every day and he is with me, in my choices and the way I choose to treat people....
