So sorry to hear. Condolences to his friends and family. I was looking forward to visiting Ellis Park for the first time in just a couple of weeks. It won't quite be the same. Great voice, great delivery. RIP.

Agree with many that he was the most underrated caller in the game. He will definitely be missed. R.I.P. Luke.

Don Erk of the Vanderburgh County Coroner's Office said the cause of death appeared natural, likely coronary related.

Kruytbosch, 45, had told friends during Sunday's races at Ellis Park that he wasn't feeling well.

His announcing brought you right into the race from the break. His style was very classy and dignified and his voice will be missed.

What an absolute shame! A distinctive baritone, clear and concise.

RIP Luke; prayers be w/you

i'm in total shock. his signature sound was one of the real pleasures of this game for me. when i first found out that he was a relatively young guy, i remember thinking about how cool it was that he would be calling races for a long long time. how wrong i was. man he will be missed. i can't imagine a CD race without his calling out "and around the turn they go".
he had a terrific consistent and somewhat melodic cadence that really made each race seem exciting. really sad about this. RIP Luke K.
