Obituary: EAA284.org friend Bob Luken passed away last month
Posted By RichC on July 3, 2024
Although it was not a surprise, another long time friend and our EAA chapter president Bob Luken, passed away in Dayton, Ohio last month. He had moved to a nursing home after a couple of falls and was having difficulty breathing. We talked earlier in the month regarding a few items for EAA284 and he sounded weak. By the time we ended our call, he was out of breath.

The two of us worked closely together on many hanger projects since the late 1990s … and at yearly TailDragger Fly-Ins and Pancake breakfasts for our chapter. I was somewhat of a pain to work with, but every organization really needs a take-charge organizer to pull things together. We differed to the extreme on politics, but always had respectful conversations and “I think” enjoyed debating. I and our EAA Chapter will miss him.
Below is a video visit to Red Stewart Field from a couple of guys at PRA Chapter 40 about 15 years ago. It is a soothing way for me to remember Bob.
