Dear Lukinich Family-

Much love to you all.

So very sorry for your loss. I miss him already.
Nancy and Family,
I am so sorry to hear about Alex. My deepest sympathy. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Prayers and love to the family at this difficult time. Alex was a truly great and wonderful man who was the inspiration for many great memories. His warmth was only matched by his wry sense of humor. Very much enjoyed that. His legacy is his life, the way he lived it, and his wonderful family.
Peace and love to you all.

Paul and Family,
I’ve always had very fond memories of Alex (Mr. Lukinich). Whether picking his brain about soccer strategies, playing golf with him and Paul, or just chatting when I visited the house. What a great man. I am praying for the family during your time of loss.
My condolences to the Lukinich family. I have good memories of Alex from way back when I worked at the Kenworth plant.
My thoughts are with you.
I would like to express my deepest sympathy for the loss of your loved one. Death is one of the most difficult things we face in life but may it comfort you to know that others care. I have found great encouragement when reading the beautiful words penned in the Bible at Isaiah 25:8 “He will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces.” May this promise bring your family comfort in this difficult time.
