Sorry to hear about your lost. Chaz was a great man who made MY donuts special! (I was told by Chaz). Days at the Santa Clara Street store was filled with wonderful smells and laughter. Chaz took time to greet and smile. Chaz is in a better place - eating donuts with God. Stay strong.

What an amazing and legendary business. Lou's Donuts was a big part of my childhood in the 70's. Bless Charles and his family for having honored that institution with their years of hard work.
