Luke (I always called him Luther) and I crossed paths in a teen youth group at a little Nazarene Church on Gay Street in Pineville, N.C. in the mid to late 1960's. Luther was the natural youth group leader so intelligent and amiable, everyone wanted to follow his lead. But he was not your normal teenager. With a love for God not commonly seen in a teen at that time, Luther's leadership and guidance was a positive and powerful influence to those of us fortunate enough to be a part of this amazing group during those formative teen years. I am sure Luther maintained these wonderful qualities throughout his life and they have influenced the lives of countless others as they have influenced ours. Unquestionably, Luther will be missed by many.

I lost a lifelong friend with the passing of Luke but God gained another of his flock. May the family have peace and understanding.
