HAROLD LUCKOW
Driver Drowns as Truck Goes Into Manitowoc River
Harold Luckow, 53, 3610 Waldo Blvd., drowned when his pickup truck plunged into
the Manitowoc River off the 500 block of Quay Street at 4:12 p.m. Sunday.
Luckow, owner of Luckow Landscape and Nursery Service, had been hospitalized
until 11 a.m. Sunday when he was released from Memorial Hospital. Dr. Theodore A.
Teitgen, Manitowoc County coroner, reported.
Police received a call from Emil Jagodinsky, 1008 Hamilton St., who said he saw
a truck plunge into the river near the Anheuser-Busch Inc., towers. Officers and
the police boat were dispatched. The Ewert and Schiesl Wrecker service tow truck
was sent and hauled the vacant truck from the 23-foot deep river channel.
Police in the boat hooked the body near the place where the truck was found. Dr.
Teitgen ordered the body taken to the County Morgue, where his examination
established drowning as the cause of death.
Right Door Open
Officer Leory J. Duveneck reported that tire tracks in the graveled parking lot
adjacent to the river’s edge showed the gravel was torn up. The truck traveled
northwest off the embankment into the river.
When the truck was pulled from the water, the right door of the cab was open,
the window on the driver’s side was rolled about half way down and the windshield
on the driver’s side was broken out.
Dr. Teitgen said there was no evidence of bodily injury.
Police said that the truck’s brakes remained in “very good” condition and that
the accelerator did not stick.
Luckow was born May 13, 1914, at Manitowoc, son of the late Louis A. Luckow and
Mrs. Tillie Stephani Luckow. He was educated in Manitwooc schools.
He was employed by Shore-hills Orchards for five years, operated the firm for
another seven years, worked for Manitowoc Shipbuilding Inc.; from 1941 through
1944, when he started his own business.
