Lucas Kreiman Obituary

Kreiman, Lucas "Luke" J. 23, died at home on Tuesday, March 29, 2016. Luke is survived by his mother, Karen Kreiman, of Elmwood Park; father, Bob Kreiman, of Chicago; sister, Jill Kreiman (niece, Olivia), of River Grove, and brother, Bobby Kreiman (future sister-in-law, Susie Salomon), of Niles. Luke was a much loved son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, grandson and friend. His greatest joy in life was making people laugh.

Luke, you were loved so much and will never, ever be forgotten.

We were so sad to hear of Luke's passing. We haven't seen you guys in years but I remember Luke as a little boy at Borgia. MaryKate was in class with Bobby. Please accept our deepest sympathy! Peace to all of you.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Even though I never met you, Jericho talked highly about you and the guidance you gave him in the business and I really appreciate that. What a special person I've heard you are and I'm praying for the entire family. May you rest in peace.

Rest in Peace, Luke. As a part of the community, you will always be a brother to us all, your passing resonating with each of us. It's difficult to come to terms with the idea that someone we've known since we were oblivious little children is no longer going to be with us, but also comforting to know the memories and shared experiences will always remain. See you on the other side.
