So sorry to hear of Luther´s passing. He was truly a kind and compassionate soul. One of the first bands I ever played with was Fire, and he always made sure that as a relative youngster in the club, that I was alright and taken care of. I looked to him and Duvall like they were my own big brothers. Peace and condolences to you on your loss of such a wonderful human being. Love and light to you all....
