Charles Peter Luke, Jr. of Covington, LA departed earthly life suddenly on 
Sunday, August 25, 2013 at age 74. 

A native of New Orleans and a long time resident of St. Bernard, Charlie served 
in the U.S.Navy for five years. His passion for architecture and music were 
channeled into his livelihood as an architectural designer, drummer and 
musician. 
His devout faith in God, love of history and country, and his intellectual 
curiosity became the cornerstone of countless friendships and memorable 
conversations throughout his life. 

Charlie was a loving and devoted husband of 52 years to JoAnn Lamarque, who 
survives him along with their children Steven (Beth), Patti (Warren) Kyle, 
Pamela and Matthew. 
He was the cherished grandfather of Dominic, Monica and Jacob Luke, and Marie 
Grace, Frances, William “Sam” and Eleanor Kyle. 

He was preceded in death by his parents Henry and Cleo Piazza and his brother 
Edward “Tuttie” Luke and his surviving spouse, Margie. 
In addition to his wife and children, Charlie is survived by his sisters Louise 
(Lester, deceased) Jackson and Henrietta “Toni” (Marion) Ayo, along with in-
laws Emile "Bubby"(Kathy), Anthony "Butsy" (Betty), Ronnie (Natasha), Dennis 
(Maria), Tommy (Janell), Timmy (Pam) and a host of extended family and friends. 

The family invites you to join them to honor Charlie’s unique and remarkable 
character. He is admired by all who were privileged to share his company. “Well 
done, good and faithful servant.” –Matthew 25:21

A Holy Mass will be held at Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Covington on 
Friday, August 30, at 1:30 pm with visitation beginning at 11:00am and eulogies 
at 1:00 pm.

to their cause.
