Dr. Kenneth V. Luza, CPG-06363, passed away Wednesday morning, July 23,2014, in Norman after a brief ill- ness He was born on Sept. 26, 1945, in Manitowoc, Wisconsin.
Ken received his B.S. in Geological Engineering from the University of Arizona in 1967, and then earned his M.S. in Geological Engineering (1969) and his Ph.D. in Geology (1972) from the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. In 1969, he was commis- sioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
In 1972, he joined the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology, where he worked on engineering and environmental prob- lems in the Reno and Las Vegas areas. In 1975, he took a position as Engineering Geologist with the Oklahoma Geological Survey.
In addition to his work for the Survey, Ken also served on the graduate fac- ulty at The University of Oklahoma, supervising graduate students in the fields of Geology and Geophysics, Civil Engineering, and Geological Engineer- ing. His professional service included membership in the following organiza- tions: Geological Society of America, American Institute of Mining Engineers,
Association of Engineering Geologists (AEG), American Institute of Professional Geologists (AIPG), Shallow Exploration Drillers Clinic, and Oklahoma Board of Geographic Names (OBGI); he served as Chair of the OBGI and as an officer in the Oklahoma Sections of both the AEG and the AIPG. He gave many lectures to technical and public interest groups, mainly summarizing his research on earth quakes, seismicity, and tectonics, and on problems in the Picher lead/zinc mining district and the Tar Creek Super fund Site.
Ken Luza will be missed by all who knew him, not only for his important contributions to Oklahoma as a geolo- gist, but also for his sly wit and humor. A longtime Survey staff member noted “If Ken Luza told you something, you could take that to the bank. He didn’t say things he wasn’t sure about. And he was sure of, and right about, so much in this state.”

Hew wrote a guide for exploring the geology of the area entitled Mines, Mountain Roads, and Rocks which is now in its second publication. He was heavily involved in the Ouray County Historical Society as a board member and fundraiser. He was instrumental in cataloging a large book collection, at the Ross Moore Library, containing information on mining tech- niques, mining equipment, geology and the history of the area. George loved the San Jaun Mountains but sometimes felt the need to see the horizon of his beloved West Texas.
He was a member of the American Institute of Professional Geologists, Society of Independent Professional Earth Scientists, Geological Society of American, American Association of Petroleum Geologists, Society for Sedmentary Geology, Rocky Mountain Association of Geologists, New Mexico Geological Society and West Texas Geological Society.
