In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers, Willie Lee, John Henry and James and sisters, Louise, Ruby, Mary, Doris and Bertie Ruth.

He will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 61+ years, Lois Williams; son, Brian Williams (DeeDee); daughters, Teresa Williams (Calvin) and Gwen Williams (Van); brother, Joe Williams (Cindy) and sister In-law, Earlene Williams.

Luby will also be dearly missed by many nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and his Oakview Baptist Church family.

Luby retired from CSX Railroad in 2001 after 30 years of dedicated service. He attended Oakview Baptist Church and was well known to many in his community.
