Many great memories of Luke and Mary. Growing up as a child, I remember the good times our families had together and playing as children. Your parents Christmas cards were the best. Then when we moved back to the area, my husband Roy, connected with Luke when they flew radio-controlled airplanes together. Seeing them both at Landis Homes was always a treat as we stopped, talked and chatted about life. Truly a life well lived! Connie Kreider Bender

Great brother & friend. We will miss him but I am sure he is at peace and probably singing out in that bass voice.

I remember enjoying visits to the Bomberger home in Mt. Joy as a child. Though Luke was older than me, we had good times. We always stopped to chat a bit when I met him and Mary in the hall of Landis Homes and enjoyed the train layout. He contributed in so many many other ways to the church and community. . Landis Homes is a better place because of his leadership as a board chair and resident. He will be missed.
I wish for the family a special sense of God’s grace and the love and care of family and friends and much joy mixed with the pain of loss as you reflect on the many meaningful relationships you had and his significant contributions to the church and world.

I remember when I met Grandpa and Grandma they came up for a visit to meet all us girls and took us out to eat. We had such a great time. They were very kind and loving people. Grandpa was so smart about everything he seemed to talked of. I just knew then that we would be together for a long period of time and how blessed we were. May he rest in peace.
