Obituary for Edward B. Lukeman
Edward B. Lukeman, 82, of Saylorsburg, passed away on Monday, January 6 at Pocono Spring Village, East Stroudsburg.
He was the beloved husband of Deb Powers, with whom he shared thirty three years.
Born and raised in Morristown, NJ, he was a son of the late Paul and Gertrude (Tunis) Lukeman.
After graduating from high school, he enlisted in the US Navy and spent four years serving his country and was honorably discharged. He then became a New Jersey State Police Trooper and retired after twenty two years of service. Upon his retirement, he was a part time driver for Enterprise Rent-a-Car. Prior to moving to Saylorsburg in 1987, he resided in Great Meadows, NJ for several years.
Ed enjoyed camping, campfires, cruising, canoeing, kayaking, sailing, fishing, hiking and riding his motorcycle. Accomplishments over the years included getting his private pilot's and extra class amateur radio operator (W3MI) licenses and hiking a major portion of the Appalachian Trail. He was a member of the Blue Ridge Cherry Valley Rod and Gun Club. Most of all, he enjoyed spending time with family and friends who are thankful for their memories.
