The first time I saw Luke was on his highlight video where he immediately overwhelmed me with his gorgeous, mature voice at such a young age. We were preparing to do a show and Juliette sent me the link. So when I met him in person, I felt like I was meeting a star. And I was. I only knew Luke for a few years, but am deeply grateful for the friendship. The most vivid memory that always comes to me was that extended time during the show when it was just he and I in the dressing room. He was endlessly generous and encouraging. We talked about sports and family and future – and of course theater. As uniquely gifted as he was, he was always insistent on deflecting any compliments and turning it around back on me. I was honored to be part of a few very special family events – but I treasure those moments in that awful dressing room. Heaven’s blessings are yours now……
Always Encouraging
