Luca Modric. The world has truly lost one of the good guys this weekend and whilst I am heartbroken for Luke and Karen's family, I am heartened by all of the love and support seen below. We can all take note and learn about what true strength and resilience is all about from Luke. What he has been through over the past couple of years is nothing short of remarkable and is humbling. Heeding the messages on this site I decided to trawl back through my text messages and saw the last proper conversation we had a couple of months ago was around the time he was going into a hospice for some treatment. That was his opening gambit but he quickly moved on (in this order) to ask about my daughter and wife, tell my how a Spaniard was messing his football club up and tips for the stag do in Tenerife I was going on. He didn't let any of his issues get in the way of being positive, caring and sharing and that is how I will always remember Luke. From the day I first interviewed him in 2013 I knew he was special (I know that because when I asked him to rank himself out of 10, without thinking he just blurted out 9!). We worked closely on new business clients in the pensions team for 18 months and it was great to see him promoted to pensions technical manager, a role he just took in his stride in true Luke fashion. He was ambitious - he always wanted to kick on to the next promotion until his illness cut his career short but I can tell you with his ability, his attitude, his people skills and his ability to manage up (!) he would have made that promotion of that I have no doubt. We will never know now but one thing I do know is that I have lost a great colleague, a great bloke and a true friend. Rest easy Luca Modric - you are at peace now xxx

Luke was a top man, and is a great loss. In the short number of years I sat beside him, Luke’s grumpy mumbling, long sighs and caustic wit were all greatly endearing, among his many more conventional qualities. Whilst sharing a few jars with him became a rare treat, he was always excellent value for a lively debate or a laugh and I have lots of fond memories of him shouting at me! A wisdom and humour of his own made him great company. That he was able to maintain his good humour in the face of adversity, I hope, will offer all that loved him inspiration. He certainly inspired me, and I will long remember him. Much love, Mike.

I had the absolute privilege of being Luke’s line manager in the year or so running up to his diagnosis. He was the ‘go to’ person in the team whenever we needed some pensions thought-leadership. He was creative, engaging, and had a brilliantly dry sense of humour. He was also the only person at work who would ‘get’ an obscure Simpsons reference, and we shared many jokes about how we’d somehow ended up with large goofy dogs in our respective households. Having Luke leave the team due to ill health was horrible, but he fought to contribute to the team’s output long after being unable to physically make it to Greencoat Place. I was lucky enough to speak with Luke a few weeks ago and his positivity and acceptance of this situation was, and continues to be, an inspiration. Looking back at my WhatsApp chat history his last note was enquiring as to how I was, and apologising for not emailing me, which I think speaks volumes about his personality of putting others first. I hope Luke’s attitude and outlook on life will fortify the rest of the Harris family over the coming weeks and months. Rest well Luke, you left only good things behind.

It's hard to put into words what i want to say about Luke, from when he started at Thomsons 7 years ago we clicked due to a shared love of many things, be it movies, video games or sport (despite the obviously rivalry of Spurs vs Arsenal, but that just added to the banter). Both having three kids with the same age gaps that we had at the same ages, meant that either i was an older grumpier version of him, or he was a younger funnier version of me (pretty sure it was the latter). I was amazed how well Luke coped over the last couple of years that must have been hard, but whenever we spoke the first thing he always asked was how things were with my son and family. I don't think I've ever met a nicer, more selfless person. Thinking of his wife and kids at this difficult time. Rest well mate. x

Luke was such a lovely person and always ready with a cheery 'Hello, how are you today?' when i arrived in the office in the morning. He was funny and kind and the epitome of a great colleague. He bore the last couple of years with great fortitude and courage and always continued to ask how I was whenever we spoke! My prayers and condolences are with Luke's wife, children and family. Rest peacefully Luke.

It's incredibly hard to write this. Luke was an amazing colleague, one who was always upbeat, positive and great fun to be around. We had many great conversations, often around the TV shows were watching and of course football. He was a naturally funny personality and an expert in his job. My abiding memory of Luke is how welcome he made me feel on my first visit to Gordon House after accepting the offer to join Thomsons. Over the course of a few pints at the Greencoat, I felt very at ease and knew I would love working within the pension team. He was that sort of guy, he made everyone feel at ease around him and made people laugh effortlessly. He will be greatly missed and always remembered. Thinking of his wife Karen, his gorgeous kids and the rest of his friends and family at this difficult time. Sleep easy mate x

Luke was an incredible person to have around the workplace, a popular guy who had a great sense of humour and proudly wore his red and white Arsenal scarf and a beanie regardless of the weather. He was always welcoming and easy to talk to as well as a good listener and he was the embodiment of a Thomsons person (Brave, Caring, Can-do, Dedicated, Fun, Passionate & Pink). We will all miss Luke tremendously - Our thoughts obviously go to all his friends and his wife and children. - Jack Curzon, colleague of Luke's at Thomsons Online Benefits

Well, what to say! Many things can’t be easily expressed. Luke and I worked together for around 10 years from HSBC Actuaries to JLT to Thomsons and more recently MMB. We took our exams at similar times, started popping out children, and set up the para-planner team at JLT, before moving to Thomsons. From then on we worked closely on pension provider reports and the like and for such a long time, he was always there - with his cheeky grin! Luke was good company, well liked, and alongside his wit and willingness to express his opinions (we disagreed on certain musical tastes) was also a softer side and a desire to ensure those around him were ok. He was also very creative, and enjoyed designing different forms of communications, bringing his own unique style to the table. He dealt so incredibly well with his illness and of course, wanted no fuss. The office hasn’t been the same without him and the Luke shaped-hole will sadly remain. Luke, you will forever be missed. Thoughts are very much with Karen and the children x
