Former Mesa City Manager Charles K. Luster, who devoted 42 years of service to the city at a time of its most dynamic growth, died Oct. 24 after a brief illness. He was 93.

Mr. Luster left a long legacy of accomplishments throughout his four-plus decades of public service, working with 11 mayors and city councils as the city transitioned from a quaint town of 27,000 to America’s 38th largest city with 400,000 residents at the time of his retirement in 2000.
