Brigid and I are heartbroken. Luke was such a special man who gave so much to our community. We spent every Friday night through the spring, summer and fall with Luke for two years with The Retreat’s sober softball team. He was such a warmhearted caring person who would do anything to help his friends. His dedication to living life to the fullest and his embrace of his recovery was a model for everyone who had the pleasure of walking along the path with him. His love for his children came up in every conversation. Our prayers to Luke’s family and friends during this very sad and difficult time. RIP my friend. 🙏💔🙏
