I loved our "Uncle Louie" SO much. He was a big hit when he would come over to baby sit when we were little. He would bring a big container of ice cream and we'd all have a great time. It's little things like this that stay with you always and bring a smile of remembrance. We always knew we were loved. He made each of us feel important.....I'm sorry to be so far away. Love to all the Augusta family and friends.
