one time I got my tooth knocked out because i ran into some wooden stairs and i had to go to the hospital and he was there for me and he was always there for me and my sisters and i loved him with all my heart
I only knew Luther for a little while. Luther was a great man. for I had a few things that need done and he helped me out big time. He loved everyone. Great personally. For I always asked how Luther was through a good friend that we both share. Going to miss him greatly. Family an friends will always be in my thoughts an prayers.
My condolences to the Family. I have known and hung around Luther sense we were 16 years old. Luther was a great friend. Luther will be greatly missed. Rest in peace my friend.
I have so many memories of Luther he was a dear friend. He tried teaching me to drive a standard it was a 67 Chevelle and after that driving experience I think he had to put a clutch in the car. He would come and get me when I lived on Country Club Hill in his old Mopar after he got off work from the Dlux after midnight, I would hear him coming up the hill and we would go out driving for hours, I made him a bet one time that he couldn't come off College Ave by the old courthouse and make it all the way to 15th Street, well mission accomplished. My sister got mad at her boyfriend one time and we decided to do something to aggravate her boyfriend. My dad Raymond Stewart always had a lot of used cars and trucks, so we borrowed a pickup and Luther was the driver, my sister and I grabbed bags of trash that was on Leverett Street and put them in the back of the pickup and took them to her boyfriends front yard "man from glad". Luther couldn't believe we would do such a thing. My mom (Margaret) loved riding around with us, well one night the Mopar Luther was driving kept getting stuck in 2nd gear and we got pulled over by Fayetteville's finest, the cop asked Luther who was in the car with him and he replied my friend Donna and her mother. The cop goes her mother? well we didn't get a ticket but sure had some laughs. Luther would take us to the old Sambo's down from the mall and we would go in there and eat, he would always laugh when we were done eating, I would scrap all the food on one plate and stack the dishes up so it would be easier for the person cleaning to table to clean. He said "well you do this because you are helping the dish washer and I said yes I am. Luther worked with me at the time at the Fayetteville Country Club plus he did his second job at the Delux.
Well buddy you are one of a kind and have the biggest heart. I appreciate you being a friend to me.
I would like to think of you when I hear "Dancing In The Sky" by Dani and Lizzy.
Thanks Buddy
I haven’t known Luther but about 5 years, but every time I’ve seen him we have talked as if we’ve known each many years. I will miss him dearly. RIP friend!!! Shirley Singleton
My condolences to the family. I had a lot of good memories with Luther and many automobiles in trouble. I will miss him as he was a good friend. Prayers for the family. Bill Lazenby
I met Luther back in Jr. High school while we were in the 9th grade. We became friends and hung around with the same bunch of kids. As adults we just saw each other in passing, at Walmart, or somewhere else around town or when we needed a tow or to find parts for our cars. He actually financed a car for my daughter when we first got her one. He was one of the first people she drove to in order to show off her first brand new car too and he was so proud for her. Luther has always had a smile and a hug for his friends, old and new and we all treasure those memories. My family sends blessings to Luther's family. He will surely be missed by all who knew him.
