Dolores and Lou....Super folks with a great heart. Lou turned the family room into a Gabriel Project office-work room. He inspired us and many.

Lou will always be one of the most outstanding men that I have ever known. He was a big supporter of the Gabriel Project Cluster of Montgomery County www.gpmoco.org

Lou and I worked for AVANCO International, a "Beltway Bandit." . We created and presented the Counterintelligence and Espionage lectures for personnel of Secretary of Defense, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. We were both retired and thought to give these lectures maybe once or twice each month. It became a full-time job with two 2-hour lectures per day, five days a week. So much or being retired. Lou was just a great partner, and a fun guy to work with. He did all the hard work telling how to securely take care, and maintain, classified documents and facilities; I did all the fun stuff telling how spies operate, how they recruit people, and I told stories about KGB agents in their neighborhood.

Sorry for your loss. He was our neighbor and softball coach when I went to a Saint Catherine's grade school. Great neighbors in a great neighborhood.

Lou was an outstanding colleague and friend. We lectured Defense Security at the Pentagon for several years. Smart, but salt of the earth. It was an honor to have known Lou.
