I know they set up a few times at Fort Washington/Reading, etc.
Luke was one of those guys I always looked forward to seeing at the Shriners. Not only did I like poring through his stuff, but he was always the nicest guy. He and Rick were two of the few guys that used to respect me back when I was shopping in my teens back in the 1970's.
Truly a dealer and friend that will be sorely missed.

OH NO..
I haven't been at shows lately, due to financial strain, but I loved the guys stuff and seeing them at shows. Luke was a really cool guy, as is Rick. This isn't the kind of news I wanted to read at the end of a day. DAMN IT.
My prayers and condolences to Rick, and of course all of Luke's family, friends, and colleagues and customers. A really nice person.
Sad as it is, thank you Rich for posting it.
Scott.
