Family will greet friends and family from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, February 16, 2022, at Murdoch Funeral Home & Cremation Service in Central City, Iowa.

On June 7, 1950, Luke was united in marriage to Lois Eileen Smith. They lived a short time in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and eventually began farming in Prairieburg, later moving to Central City. Luke worked as a machinist for Collins Radio until retirement. He was an active member of St. Stephen’s Catholic Church in Central City. Luke enjoyed building Volkswagens and golfing. He and Lois enjoyed touring with the local MG Car Club and wintering in Texas. Luke will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him. Luke is survived and lovingly remembered by his two children, Rick (Nancy) Lawrence of Cedar Rapids, and Lynn (Dean) Holeton of North English, Iowa; 13 grandchildren; many great-grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Luke was preceded in death by his parents, Jack and Julia Lawrence; wife, Lois Lawrence in 2020; son, John; daughter-in-law, Jodie; and four sisters.
