Francis Luckner

I lived down the street from Todd in the 50s and 60s. I think of one of his early drag cars, a 1957 'Big Healy' that impressed me as I was an easily influenced young hot rodder. I later bought one when I was 17. I always wanted to get my hands on that car though. Another buddy acquired it later and I was jealous all over again. Then I lost track of it. But Todd's easy going and can-do attitude was easy to get to know. He was a down to earth guy who could do magic with cars. He will be missed.

I delivered auto parts to Luckner´s Garage many times. My dad owned J&J Auto Parts. Todd was a loyal customer, as were Fran and Harold. I used to work with and pal around with Jay. What a small world! Todd always had a smile on his face and seemed to really enjoy life. RIP!

You folks(family) don´t know me, but Todd would have ! It was 1971 , and my Corvette had internal engine problems. Todd took it and repaired it and, the only way to check it was to get on it out Rt 414 . I believe I put him through some changes that day as I went through the gears. I doubt he ever wanted to ride "shotgun" again ! Sorry for your loss, rip Todd !

Todd was always a good friend to me and my family. He had a great sense of humor, and he opened up his cabin to us all to go snowmobiling. He is and will be greatly missed!!
