Well, the time has come to clean the tools, close the drawers, take off the uniform and throw away the greasy rags. I have been doing this for more than half my life and the time has come.
I would like to say a fond Farewell to everyone that has touched my life these last 52 years. In the biggest sense of the word, it has been a fun trip working on all the different vehicles that have come across my path.
Thank you to the many people I've worked with and learned from. To all of the most wonderful customers over the years, a big Thank You. There have been many fellow employees that are too many to name, that need thanking also. We all learned something from one another and that was one of the biggest treats of all.
And to the woman behind the scenes, My dear wife Janet. There are no words I can think of that will thank you enough for everything you have done. The long nights, the self sacrifice, the love and tears for all these years. All I can say is a heartfelt Thank You.
So, in closing, A big Thank you for everything folks. rest assured, you all will be missed.
Thank you and a Fond Farewell,
Luke Shaff, former owner of Luke's Automotive, RETIRED!

On December 31, 1907, the Times Square New Year’s Eve Ball dropped in New York City for the first time. The ball, made of iron and wood, was lowered down a flagpole to mark the new year. It had 100 light bulbs and weighed more than 700 pounds. (Today’s ball weighs over 11,000 pounds.) A newspaper reported that “tens of thousands stood watching the electric ball.
Snow globes were invented by accident when an Austrian surgical instrument maker tried to improve the brightness of a light bulb.
snow globes were invented by accident by Austrian surgical instrument maker Erwin Perzy I, who was trying to improve the brightness of a light bulb for surgical use around 1900. His experiment involved a water-filled glass globe and reflective particles like semolina flakes, which, when swirled, created a falling "snow" effect that he then patented.
