Luther was always a good man to visit with. He use to stop by and sit in my office whenever he came through. He would keep me updated on the days happenings. He liked to talk about the “good ole days.” He was still playing ball with the “young guys” while he was in his mid 40s. Him and his son use to come to open gym and play all the time. He always had a calm demeaner. He like to tell funny stories and laugh.
