Nanette ~ we are so very sorry for the loss of your dear son Luke. There are so many fond memories of him playing with the neighborhood kids and hanging out behind the carlot, looking for treasures in the cars. :) It was a pleasure to see him grow into being a father and provider for his family. Sending you love and hugs. Know we are here for you. Marcia Potrafka and Family
