Sounds like a great guy, too bad more people didn't know him on this level...such a sad story, feel so bad for all Luke's friends, loved ones and fans. I was just thinking earlier this week when I thought about playing EP this coming weekend...about how great it would be to hear Luke again. Hadn't heard him during CD because the ADW crap.
Heaven just picked up a great race caller.
