Not sure what to say?

My father & Lou grew up in the same neighborhood and they were friends. My father Ken Bozzo was in Lou's wedding. I still have the pictures of Lou and his bride as well as my mother and father. Although they didn't speak much after my parents moved to California in 1947, my father spoke highly of Lou and he was one of the greats in boxing promoters and in his knowledge of boxing. I met him once when I was a little girl when we went back to Paterson to visit. I remember Mr. Duva and his wife...

It was sad to hear that Lou Duva passed. My family and I always watched boxing when I was growing up. Lou Duva was a big name! You could see the passion in his eyes, actually feel how he was feeling. I hope his family has Peace in their hearts knowing there are people who did not know him personally but felt like they knew him!!

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
