PITTSFORD – John Luke passed away on May 31 at home at age 94 with his family by his side. He's survived by his wife of 63 years, Susan, daughter Laura Luke, and son-in-law Steven Fisher. He's also survived by his brother Ken and nephew Scott.
John graduated from King's College in Pennsylvania and went on to get an M.B.A. from Stanford University. He proudly served his country in the U.S. Navy. In 1959 he went to work for Eastman Kodak and worked in a variety of executive roles until his retirement in 1995.
Throughout his life John enjoyed fishing in New York, Vermont and Canada; gardening; and traveling with Susan to New England for antique shows.
There will be no calling hours or services. The family thanks a wonderful team of home health aides and hospice nurses for their kind and compassionate care in John's final months of life. Please consider a donation to University of Rochester Medicine Hospice Care in John's memory.
