Dr Louck remains an inspiration to me as to what a real family physician is and how he practices his art. Even more his intuitive sense usually was more accurate than all the diagnostic tests. Most importantly his compassion for his patients inspired me to aspire to emulate him.
May his memory be for a blessing.

We mourn the loss of this wonderful compassionate human being. All those who worked alongside him in his chosen profession were humbled by his intuitive sense and diagnostic accuracy. He approached his patients with such humility and dignity he was loved by colleagues and patients alike. Above all he approached life with a great sense of humor always seeing the funny side of things. He will be remembered with fondness and great sadness.

So sorry to each of you for your great loss. Especially to you Christopher who has become our Dr. now walking in your precious dad's footsteps and with your own clinic. My how proud he was of all his children but what a great tribute to his success to want to be like him and be a doctor! Dr. was our doctor and friend for our entire family on both sides for over 40 years! We were so fortunate then to have him and we are now to have you Christopher. God has given us the "BEST"! What a great man in every way. He has certainly left a great legacy for you all. Sympathy and love and prayers for you all! He is playing his banjo for his Jesus in person! But he will leave the doctoring to you now Christopher!
