The Alumni Association was notified of the passing of Michael Lux of the Class of 1962, on August 23rd, 2019. Mike was a very active and well liked student during his time at Leo. Mike participated on the football and basketball teams during all of his years at Leo and even served as the quarterback of the winning 1962 football team during his senior year.

The entire Alumni Association offers its prayer and condolences to Mike’s family and close associates at this time.
Tried several times over the years to find info about Mike. So sorry that this is what I just found. Went to a number of Leo basketball and football games in 59, 60 and 61 with my then boyfriend. Mike was amazing. 5’7′ and he was incredible on the court and in the field. I remember a game against ? when he literally flew over all the defense piled up between himself and the goalposts. I swear I can still see it! My condolences to his family.
