Worked with Lou in the early 1980s @ Paul Revere. His avocation as a Renault mechanic lead to many discussions surrounding my troublesome car. Best wishes to his family.

Lou,

I always enjoyed playing a good game of chess with you at Worcester Chess Club. I still remember, you beat me the last time we played a couple years ago.

God bless,

Garreth Lynch, Ph.D. wishes Jacqueline and family most sincere condolences. Louis Jacques was a gentleman and a scholar even back in the days of our Assumption Prep acquaintance. At Holy Cross, he often cautioned me about having too much fun.
He's in my prayers.
