This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Earl Luebcke, 83, born on September 11, 1919, and passed away on September 7, 2003. Earl proudly served in the United States Army from September 2, 1941, to December 16, 1945, and in the Army Reserves from December 16, 1945, until August 1, 1965, when he retired with the rank of Captain. He was a combat armored engineer unit commander and was highly decorated for his service. His memory lives in our hearts and minds.
The simple things
As Dad was in the reserves, I would have the duty to polish all of his boots before meetings and camp. When he would return from two long weeks of camp we would anticipate him having some sort of gift for each of us upon his arrival. Unlike today, life was much more simple. He always had mint flavored toothpicks, wow what a great thing we all loved them.
Miss you Dad
