My condolences to Mark and family.
I met Luke over 30 years ago when I first bought a lawnmower from him, and continued to buy all my equipment from him since then. We developed quite a relationship over the years. I enjoyed our friendly banter over all those years. I will miss those talks.
RIP Luke. You have earned it.
Lukey was the first Cardiac Alumni Member to welcome me to the group over 20 years ago.
He leaves me with lots of beautiful memories ,stories, fun times in class with bday cakes, beats on the World Cup and 14 years of traveling together exercising in the sun.
My you RIP along with your better half Sandra . Love you forever…
We remember ome Luke as a loving and caring person with lots of humor. He will be in our hearts forever.
Wishing lots of strength to the family.

It was such a pleasure meeting Luke at the Cardiac Rehab Alumni class in 2019. He was quiet, but when she said something it was always funny, which made me laugh every time. That’s what I remember most about Luke. During covid time, I enjoyed our walks, and I remember meeting Lisa one day. I realized what a loving father he was. He will be truly missed, but he will hold a special place in my heart. Rest in Peace Luke! I pray that God grant your family the strength to bear this great loss! Love forever ❤️
Dearest Mark + Family,
Sending our deepest condolences and our love and support.
Lisa, Leslie. Dean, Daniela & Mark, Our deepest condolences to you all. We have known Lisa & Leslie since they were teenagers, as they were good friends with our son, Brent. We met their children, Dean & Danila who matured into responsible adults. We purchased our lawn mover & snow blower from Luke many years ago. In about 2012, we purchased a mini garden auger from Mark. We saw Luke a few years ago, when we had problems with the snow blower. They came to Orangeville to pick it up & service it. Rest in peace Luke, as you deserve it and now a long rest beside your love of many years. You left your business in good hands with Mark. Our thoughts are with you all. Bruce & Ruth Matsuda
Dear Luke, you and Sandra were both such wonderful people. It was our good fortune to have known you and spent fun times with. May you walk together now hand in hand in the most beautiful garden of all. Be at peace. Our thoughts are with you. Ian & Barb
Mark, my condolences to your family. We had many good times with your parents socially and watched you and your sister Lisa as you grew up through our church days in Etobicoke. . May they rest in peace
Dear Mark/ Alison, Lisa/ Leslie and family,
