Louie was one of the most beautiful and most gentle men I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I will miss his lovely smile, his gift of "cherry jelly beans", and friendship most of all. May the family know, he will forever be close to my heart.

Louie was one of the most amazing and gentlest men I have had the privilege of knowing. He was my dearest friend and I will always treasure his friendship. A day doesnt go by that I dont think about him sharing his cherry jelly jelly beans with me and his great big smile; both were tremendous and are missed a lot and are thought of with so much love today and always!!!

After all this time, the hurt seems even more. I cannot understand why? I miss you so much. I talk to you every time I think of you, which is far too much. If I had one wish, I would wish you back into life. When does it ever get easier? Thinking of you always, but it is not fair to lose such an important part of my life. Love you and will never forget you.

Lou, everyday I seem to miss you more and more. I thought time would ease the pain, but I wonder if that will ever be true? I hope you knew in your heart how very much I loved you. You were the best friend I ever had...no one can replace you.

Louie as he was affectionately called by me, was one of kindest men I ever had the pleasure of knowing...I will miss him & his joy of fixing his beloved Alpha Romeo!

Louis was a kind and compassionate person who understood how to treat people not just illness. I was looking forward to working with him. We have all lost a wonderfull person.

15 years ago, when I started at IPP, I met an adorable, sweet man named Lou Menta. He made coming to work easy. And for the time we shared, talking and working together he made me laugh. You always said Lou--Christmas was mine, but Halloween belonged to you. I still have all of the decorations you bought packed away downstairs at Old Mill. I am so sad for your family. I am sad for everyone whose life you touched.

I am so sorry to hear of Lou's passing. He was a wonderful, caring, and compassionate man. So young to be taken away. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Rest in peace my friend, see you on the other side.

I worked with Lou in home care. He was a very friendly guy, easy to talk to with a wicked sense of humor. He once sat at the edge of my desk with an electronic cigarette in his mouth, smoke (vapor) coming out of it. He cracked up at the expression on my face! He was a friend to all his patients, but provided professional care to them. My sincere condolences to his family, whom he lovingly spoke of often. I am glad I had the chance to know Lou, he will be missed.

Louis was so loved by so many people and was a blessing to so many people. It will be hard for me without my dear friend and I pray to the Lord for peace while we grieve and celebrate the life of a Great Man!
