Karen, Jack and Pete,

When I think of Luke, I think back to earlier days when "the cousins" visited us in Cleveland or we visited them in Dayton. That was a long time ago, but I remember Luke as the smart, funny guy that he was. Families have a way of drifting apart, but memories linger and in its own special way, Luke will always be a part of that earlier life.

I hope you are all doing well. I know what a difficult time this is for you.

To the family of Luke my sincere condolences. I was a high school graduate with Luke,the class of 1959 from Patterson Co-Op. I remembered him as a full of life & fun caring guy. He made our 50th class reunion & school days one I will not forget. I will never forget his wit and great sense of humor & class leadership whether if it was good or bad. He was just a fun person to know.(my maiden name was Patricia Przybylowicz & I am a cousin to his friend Bill Zobrist)

Karen and Joe and Luke,
Please know that you have been in our prayers and we continue to think about you as you go through this difficult time.

We were talking about good times together and remember Luke's good cooking. We especially liked homemade pizza - it still makes us smile.

Doug and Nick and Laura and I send our love and hope you will let us know if there is any way that we can support you.
