Mr Luth was a hockey coach of mine when I was a young mite. I still remember the practice when I was a loafing through a drill and he sternly told me to put more "oumph" into it. Its funny the things you remember.. but it was a good direction for more than just sports. Thanks Mr Luth

"Bob was a good friend and although I have not seen Bob in a couple years I valued him as a dear friend. He always had a smile on his face and was always so gracious. His love for golf and red wine always gave us food for conversation. My wife, Pauline and I enjoyed our time with Kathy and Bob. "Miss you"

I met Bob at a "Company Club" shortly after he joined my company over twenty years ago.Businesswise we were together for only a few short years but since that first meeting our families have been around each other on so many wonderful occasions they will be amongst the great memories we have and which we can share.
My family and I will miss Bob and I hope that Kathy and the kids know that I still have a big shoulder.

The friendship between the Luth family and the Burton family goes back to the early 70's. Our children grew up together and Bob and Mike were skiing and golfing buddies over the years, as well as very close friends. Bob and Kathy have been there at all our momentous family events, as we have been at theirs. We will miss Bob tremendously.
I send prayers of peace and love to Kathy, Christy, R.J. and Cindy. And a special prayer to Bob in heaven.

Love, Linda

Bob was a friend. We worked together for a few short years, but he was first and foremost a friend for almost 30 years. We had some wonderful times skiing, golfing, or just talking for hours as friends do. His spontaneous laughter and contagious smile always made the world a better place, even if only for a few fleeting moments, for those around him. I am fortunate to have had the chance to walk with Bob and be called his friend. I shall miss him. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, Kathy and their wonderful children. Rest in Peace Bob Luth.

I knew Bob as a friend and cherish that relationship. Bob was one of four friends who delighted in competition and friendship for many years. We skied the highest mountains and played golf on the best fairways. We laughed often and Bob with a smile on his face made our adventures memorable. Bob has a wonderful family and his many friends will miss him.
God Bless you Bob!
