You will be truly missed Uncle Lou. Talking with you was always a reassurance.
And how you helped me to understand this crazy world we live in.
I miss you and your words of wisdom that were more precious than gold.
Rest well uncle Lou until the time that when all of the Markerts reunite in God's heavenly kingdom.

I just learned of Dr. Markert's passing. I was a student of his at CSUF over twenty years ago. He was a phenomenal and gifted instructor and it was an incredible experience to be a part of his class. Rest in peace Professor.

We were waiting and looking forward to seeing Lou-san in May. We did not meet with us in Japan is regrettable. May he rest in peace. Asako,I hope you will recover from your deep sorrow soon.

What a challenge to write something that honors a man who had such a way with words. I knew Lou through his daughter, Devon. He was always so compassionate and empathetic and soothing to her. That's what ever girl needs from her Daddy. I was touched by the instant warmth given to me by Lou and Asako, simply because I was a friend of Devon's. My heart aches for everyone Lou left behind, and I can only hope that he and Devon are together again, enjoying each other's company.

Lou was a wonderful mentor, hiker and laugh while I was preparing to teach his class before he left Fresno.

I will always remember Lou's wonderful smile and sense of humor. He had a joyful disposition. I could only imagine how inspirational he was to his students, fellow colleagues, clients, as well as his family and friends. I pray that you, Asako, and other family members, are able to sense his spirit as you go through this difficult time. He will always be there with you, and as you remember him, I pray that your heart is filled with love and comforting memories of him. With love from our family to yours, Sharon Chun Wetterau

Lou Markert was my best friend for 39 years. He was a consummate listener and had incredible empathy. We talked about everything, and when we weren't talking about our lives, we were laughing. We must have walked over 2,000 miles. His death is both a terrible personal loss and a source of deep inspiration.

Lou was an inspiration in so many ways. His humorous take on golf and the playing of it was nothing less than marvelous. I will miss him greatly.
