Luther had a zest for life and a great sense of humor. His family can be very proud of his example on how life should be lived!

Sympathy to the Piersol family. Luther and Pat (grew up with Pat) lived along side of my parents before they moved just up the road to their house on Hain Rd. Always enjoyed talking to them. Thinking of all of you. Love Nancy Stuebner Harding.
