Luke was one of the kindest & funniest men I’ve ever known. Luke a great tennis player who unsuccessfully tried to teach me tennis but was always encouraging. He told the funniest stories about his days with the NYPD & a Medallion Taxi owner. Luke always put a smile on the face of everyone he met. Luke will be sorely missed & 7 Springs Springs will not be the same without him. Our sincere condolences to Dololores and the family. Sincerely Harry & Michele Sakalian

Our sincerest condolences to Dolores and the family. Luke was truly one of the kindest and funniest men I have ever known. He told the most humorous stories about the NYPD and a Medallion Taxi owner in NYC. Luke had an upbeat personality who put a smile on the face of everyone he met. Luke will be sorely missed and 7 Springs Golf & Country Club will not be the same without him.
Sincerely, Harry & Michele Sakalian 🙏😥

Luke will be missed by many. He was so fun to play with at pickleball and left us in awe at the shots he made. Dolores’s homemade treats were always delicious and his love for her was so evident when he brought them to share with us. Thank you for being a part of our lives, wish it was for longer.
