Mr.Lutes always treated me with respect and honor. He was a very honest and hard working man. May he rest in the loving hands of Jesus Christ. He always called me Doc and so Doc I will always be.

when i opened my paper this mrng i went back to 1976-77. i remember my first day meeting mr.lutes. boy was i scared,he looked mean and hard. but i was so wrong. he was an outstanding and honorable man. he taught this 16yr old a lot about that honor and respect. i still carry that with me till this day. i believe thats what helped me with my career. i spent 33yrs at 1 place and i owe that to him. i was very sick in 77 and he called my mom regularly to check on me and when he left doschers he called me in the hospital to tell me he was leaving. it was a sad day for me because he was a great boss and a good man. i am forever greatful to have worked with him and for the lessons he taught me. im so sorry to hear of his passing and may god bless his family during this difficult time.
