Praying that our Lord who loves you so dearly, will speak blessings and comfort to your heart in the coming days. Our best to you and Kim. We think of the your parents driving up on I-69 past Berne and whenever we go to the Northwood on Crooked Lake from Harbor Springs. I am sure that summer cottage has and will have new significance for you and the Luginbill family. Rob & Barb Clark

Such wonderful memories of Howard & Gynie!!! They will forever hold a special place in my heart. Role models on how to raise 4 sons! God bless them both. I am glad they are reunited and in paradise, though I know they will be missed by their family and friends. All my best to all of the family. Prayers for you all.
Love in Christ,

Doc and Gynie invited my husband to stay with them while interviewing for a medical position at IU. Your father was a leader in the Christian Medical and Dental Society. They were so hospitable at a time we could not afford a hotel.
Many years later it was such a pleasant surprise to see them once again when they started eating at the same table with my father, Merlin Habegger at Swiss Village. My dad used to always say that Gynie had such a sweet smile. They were always so warm and caring, always interested in our lives. They will truly be missed, but I am overjoyed that these high school sweethearts are back together for eternity!
Sincere condolences, Carol (Habegger) and Steve Counsell

Howard and Gynie are life long friends of my family. I literally last week was talking about them and how I strived to be a couple like these two. They were just two of the most loving, happy people that you instantly got in a better mood when you saw! So happy they can be reunited in the kingdom together again! Love all of you Luginbills!!!

Howard and Gyneth were such an influence and encouragment to us. The joy of knowing Jesus was always evident in their lives and now, for Howard too, it is personal as he is with His Savior.

Doctor would never want to leave any of you. It must have been time, though, and we know our Lord Jesus and Gyneth and thousands of believers are at the feast we still await. To recount time being with Dr. Luginbill is best said I was with a living Bible. I loved Doctor very much and was truly blessed to serve him in the office for 10 years and pray with Gyneth every morning for him and his patients. Doctor was the most genuinely gracious, caring human man I ever met and just the same - the most genuinely Christian man I ever met. When you work with someone so intimately you know if they are the same on the inside and outside, and he was true, true, true. I know that all the people he loved and helped are greeting him today. Doctor reminds me of Jesus's words to us: "Nothing will take My Joy from you." Hope and joy were his countenance. I was already a Christian when I met Doctor, but I can say that he and Gyneth saved me and protected me in a human way during some of the hardest times of my life. Doctor, the last time I saw you was at your 65th birthday party, the week my first son was born; I hope you know how much I have longed to see Gyneth and you again and will see you someday! To David, Bob, Tom, and John, wow, how he loved you! I know you and you each have the laughter and love and faith magnificently given you. One time I heard a story of a doctor who moved quickly through rounds and as he left, the patients were not sure what was wrong with them but they felt better! This is how I saw your father: Sometimes the nurses and I had to catch him with fleet steps but Doctor left every one more pleasant and better off than he found them and was a healing force for all of us. Sometimes in life the great mysteries of human behavior and misery need mostly a kindness. Your dad was kindness. To a family, it is the man known at home; the sacrifices at work are invisible but given to the family so they can be secure. It is my regret that in raising my family in Wisconsin that I did not get back to Berne to greet your shining father and mother and thank them, thank them, thank them. Love, Linda Young Ring
