Thursday January 2, 2025, at age 97. Beloved husband of the late Margaret Jean Luecke (nee Thomas); dear son of the late Harry and Frances M. Luecke; dear brother of the late Harry, Jr. and the late Joseph Luecke; dear uncle of Patricia Ann Suave’, Jacqueline Rogers, the late Mary Frann Luecke and the late Harry John Luecke; dear great uncle of Debra L. Smith and many other great nieces and nephews.
Jack was a proud lifelong St. Louisan and graduate of St. Louis University High School. He was a 34-year employee of Ameren/ U.E. and served in the US Army during the Korean Conflict. The finest and most humble servant of God and admirer of all of God’s people.
Private services were held. Memorials to Our Lady of Providence Church appreciated.
Jack was the epitome of a gentleman. Always had a smile on his face, an encouraging word, and ready to discuss world views and philosophy. He was a hard worker, always ready to impart his knowledge on anyone who chose to listen.
I knew his as co-worker, mentor, friend, brother. His smiling face will never leave my heart. Rest in Peace, Jack. You’ve made it home to Heaven!
Rest in peace Jack and ride the yellow bus to heaven.
I was fortunate to spend the last 15 years visiting my Great-Uncle Jack after the passing of Aunt Jean (Tommie), my great-aunt. Always had wonderful stories about his friends, neighbors, co-workers and his many, many life adventures. I was finally able to meet these wonderful people that was part of his long life during his hospitalization and I truly feel this was his last precious gift to us.
We worked with Jack and rode many times with him on the “Special Yellow Bus!” He was the most humble, living man and we will miss him!! A humble servant and a great human being!! R.I.P. Jack!!
