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.

Damn... I really enjoyed his calls... "They're racing" When I heard his voice I knew spring time was here and the Derby was soon to be..

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.

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.

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