There are those that become fixtures in your life. Luke Critch was one of those people to me. He was an honest, hard working, loving father who truly loved his wife and family. He was a proud father, grand father and great grandfather, he was always ready with a smile and a hug for everyone of his family. I met Luke when he was younger than I am now. I stole his daughter away and he told me once that it was a good thing for Faye. He was a great father in law and was welcome in my house at any time. Luke wasn’t a tall man but his big heart and can do attitude certainly made up for his short stature. I’m sure Luke will be dearly missed in Hillview. I know he will certainly be missed by me and my family and friends in Grand Falls-Windsor.
RIP Luke I’m sure Faye and Alice have huge hugs waiting for you on the other side.
