Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also let the Lukac Family and friends know that we will be sending Care Packages to deployed troops this week and we'll be dedicating several of these to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo and the hometown of John Lukac US Marine Private 1st Class. We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community. We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you strong.
Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family

Sweet John...still seems like just yesterday that I saw you. You'll be in my thoughts forever. Words seem so inadequate still after all this time. Wish the hands of time could be turned back.
Forever in my heart.

Dear John,
Tomorrow, April 20th is your birthday. Once again, I have no words, only tears. I think of you every single day, and have your beautiful picture close. You are missed so much, and little did I know that when you came over to say good-bye, that it would be the last time I saw you...you will always be in my thoughts and heart, but it is still so painful.....
Love you so....

Dear John,
In a few days you will have been 'gone' for 4 years...I still cannot believe it. I will miss you until the day I die, and your beautiful picture on my table with your dress blues, is what I see the first thing when I wake up, and the last thing I see before I go to bed.
Still, as always, I just don't have words...I miss you so much.

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.
Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.
I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend (KIA on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.
REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

I am Deeply saddened to learn of the loss of Pfc. John Lukac, two years ago today.
The price this young hero and his family have paid for this country and for freedom, WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
May John rest safely in the Loving Care of God and may the Peace of the Lord continue to be with the Lukac family.
There will never be enough ways to humbly thank these heroes for their Supreme Sacrifice, my brother among them. KIA~Vietnam, 1967.
"And God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes,
there shall be no more death,
nor sorrow, nor crying,
there shall be no more pain.
For the former things have have passed away."

May the memories of John, live in your heart always.
I am deeply sorry for your loss.

I send each of you a hug from the most inner part of my heart.
