Still think about him, many years later. As steadfast and upright in his belief and support of others as anyone I've ever met.

Lou was an original; he had a quality about him that was not teachable nor duplicatable. People WANTED to do things for him. Being nice, being moral, and being strong were just by-products. He will be missed by all of us who ever met him, and by me especially as he was a mentor and a friend.
