Lefty Lou was my inspiration as a under classmate at NHHS. I too was a lefthander. Never reached his success but held him in highest respect. God bless the family.

Coach Howard had a huge impact on my baseball career. As a lefty myself having him to work with in middle school was a blessing. He never raised his voice and all these gurus teaching the game now should of been around to learn from him. Will miss you Coach!

It was great to be on the same field with Lou playing those Sunday League games. And, he was an even better person than he was a ball player. Kind, caring and fun person who will be missed. Wayne Johnson
