To Jane and your immediate family
To Louis' brothers and sisters ~
So sorry to learn of Louis' passing. I remember all the times that you both came to get his haircut by my Dad, Dick Salmon. You were a very special couple in my growing up years. May all your wonderful memories enfold and comfort each of you in God's love.
Sincerely,

John Barber

I will certainly miss seeing Louis sitting on the front porch. When ever I drove by and saw him, I knew everything was alright with the world. Now I know that he is still watching out for us, he just has a better seat.
