Luke Kruytbosch dies
 
Very sad, he was a young man.

Found in his apartment today.. Received confirmation from Ashley Walker at CD.

RIP. Too sad. Had more friends in the industry than you could count.

He was truly one of the best and most underrated racecallers in America.

One of my favorites.

Too too sad and too too young.

jms62 07-14-2008 01:36 PM

So sorry to hear. Condolences to his friends and family. I was looking forward to visiting Ellis Park for the first time in just a couple of weeks. It won't quite be the same. Great voice, great delivery. RIP.

Antitrust32 07-14-2008 01:58 PM

this is horrible... did not know him well, but used to spend time with him at the University of Arizona Symposium and have a few drinks & laughs. He was a very nice and funny guy who I enjoyed talking to a lot.. Being a former RTIP grad himself, he would embrace us students.

He will be missed. RIP Luke.

philcski 07-14-2008 01:59 PM

Holy SH*T.... that is awful...
I loved Luke's calls, really thought he was the most underrated caller in the game... Rest in Peace big guy

sumitas 07-14-2008 02:02 PM

His announcing brought you right into the race from the break. His style was very classy and dignified and his voice will be missed.

ateamstupid 07-14-2008 02:02 PM

Agree with many that he was the most underrated caller in the game. He will definitely be missed. R.I.P. Luke.

GPK 07-14-2008 02:03 PM

Wow...incredibly sad. RIP sir.
