Butch, Tony and families,
Shawn and I are so sorry for your loss. Uncle Lou was always so special to me. It was always great to see him with my Dad when I was home, especially this spring. We will miss him dearly. I have a feeling he is sitting next to my Dad talking about those Red Sox and what they will be doing next year.
God Bless You All
