The family of Air Force Veteran Gilbert Francis Lukosky has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to honor their hero for his service and sacrifice to his country. It will be our privilege to do so.
Mr. Lukosky proudly served with the US Air Force stationed as a clerk based in Germany from 1956 to 1960.
Following military service, Mr. Lukosky became the owner of Nikkis Flags which led to his community support through the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce, The Exchange Club, The Commodores, and the American Legion.
Mr. Lukosky is survived by his wife Valerie, son Greg, daughter Christina, sisters Tanya and Tina, grandchildren Emily, Nate, Jake, Riley and Kate.
NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this Military Veteran. For those interested, and all are welcome, we will be accompanying the hero and his family from the funeral home to the church and then to the community center. Please see the time table if you would like to participate. For those who would rather go directly to the church, we will meet you there.
