“We’re recovering,” Colesaid. “We’re all going through the paces.”
“Luke was one of those guys that I think would much rather have us laughing and telling stories about his life than lamenting it,” he added. “He was a good man. He was one of the guys that you never heard a bad word said about him ever in Hollywood, but out of respect for the privacy of his family during this time, I’m just trying to keep it brief.”

But I know that his family has requested privacy during this period and I respect that quite a bit,” he said.
