    To Morley, Owen, and family.

    I’m sorry to hear of Luke and offer my condolences to you all.
    I haven’t seen Luke in years but I remember some awesome times with him and Micheal. They would often be working on cars together or up to some funny shinnangans. Dressing up in suits to make “drop off’s” in the middle of town for a laugh. Going out to lake Arapuni for a drive.
    We may have lost touch but those memories are dear to me and will be remembered fondly.

    Rest in peace cuz
    Love to the family oxo

    I would like to give my condolences to Luke’s family. Most of my primary school I spent sitting next to him in class. He used to entertain us with his Acdc dances and giving me home made tattoos with a needle and pens and smiley face burns from his lighter. Then working with him at TRT when he could be bothered turning up 😂. Sorry to hear the news and I am so sorry I am not Able to make it to the funeral.
