I sure do miss you a lot, I have so many questions, and the guy who would always answer them for me was you. I love you very much Grandpa, I sure wish we could go in the shop and just hang out.
Love always, Matthew.

I think of Luke and his family often. My father passed when I was 10 years old I ended up living on my own when I was 15 when I turn 21 I started with the city of Longmont and Luke took me under his wing and taught me everything I needed to know for life and for the job.
Luke is still in many of my conversations of my life, growing up, and my work ethics. Joanne I still remember you're awesome rhubarb pie love you guys

Luke is a great man, He has always made sure if you do something do it right. He was a great mentor to me for over 30 years. Spent time talking about right from wrong, religion, family, and world news. Luke will always be close in my heart.
