Richard Luyckx Obituary
- - Age 87, of Bloomfield Hills, passed away on Saturday, August 25, 2018. Richard was always seen as a patient man who redefined generosity. He was loyal to his family and friends and treated everyone as part of his family, which he loved greatly. Early in adulthood, Richard assumed a family leadership role when his father passed. He watched over his mother and took over the family coal business then moved into metal stamping (Whitehead), leading with integrity and work ethic. Richard also conveyed that dedication and devotion to his marriage, as he cherished his wife of 63 years and each of their children. In his free time, he enjoyed the game of golf and cheering on our Detroit Tigers. He was a man of faith who attended mass regularly and supported his local parish. A gentle husband, father, brother and friend, Richard is survived by his wife, Julie Luyckx, their six children Ed (Meg) Luyckx, Zoe (Garry) Hull, Liz (Gary) Good, Connie (Mark) McNash, Stephen (Natalie) Luyckx, Kristyn (Brad) Quick, his twelve grandchildren and three great-grandchildren and brother Robert (Mary Jo). Family will receive friends Wednesday 3-8 p.m. at A.J. Desmond & Sons Funeral Home, 2600 Crooks Rd. (between Maple and Big Beaver), 248-362-2500. Funeral Mass Thursday 11 a.m. at St. Hugo of the Hills Stone Chapel, 2215 Opdyke Rd., Bloomfield Hills. Visitation at church begins at 10:30 a.m.
