I worked with Lou in the psychological services dept. of the Ft Worth ISD, 1988-1990, before leaving to start my business. Over the years I would occasionally see him around town or at holiday gatherings. Lou was a talented school professional, a fine gentleman who always had a friendly smile.

I know Lou will be missed by his family and friends. I had the pleasure of sharing an office with Lou from the late 70's to 1987. I have the greatest respect for Lou and valued his friendship and our working relationship. I still have the engraved money clip he gave me when I completed my Ph.D. in 1982. May the Jones family find peace in knowing Lou was a loved and respected colleague. Many of us often said, "I wish I was more like Lou!"
