Thomas C. Luke, 57, went home on July 4th in the presence of his loving wife. Born in Syracuse, Tom worked in Human Services being a voice and advocating for those who couldn't speak for themselves right up to the end of his life. Among the agencies he worked for are Syracuse Developmental Center, HEADSTART, L'Arche, and most recently at TLS as the Director of the David Clark Learning Center. He enjoyed being a Dad, playing drums, bird watching and nature. Nothing meant more to him than his family, his wife Teasa; his daughter Madalyn; his sons Julian and Isaac and sisters, Carol Herbig of Missouri, Kim Avedisian, Joanne O'Rourke, both of Warwick, RI and Mary Ellen Stathis of Jamesville. His going home party will be held at 3PM Sunday July 14th at the Pompey Community Church, 2555 Berwyn Road in Pompey. The family will receive friends from 6-8 PM Saturday July 13th at the church. Contributions in lieu of flowers may be sent to the Pompey Community Church.
