Not sure what to say?

So sorry for this great loss. We will miss him and have missed his visits to Bonnyville. Lou was a good man with a good heart

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.

He was just a great guy....met him a few times while I played at UNCW 1969 TILL 1973 AND WAS ALWAYS COMPLIMENTARY.

We are so sorry to hear about the passing of Louis. Please know we are thinking of you during this difficult time.

Lou will be missed by all who knew him. Lou,Glenn Mills and myself laughed a lot together. Enjoying softball with w s s a or setting in his garage hashing over old times... thanks for the friendship, Lou.Stan Sholar

I was a Teamate of Lou's on the 1961 National Champion Team. Lou was a great guy and a very good Athlete.

I remember coach Howard. He taught me science in 7th grade. My condolences to his family. Rip

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
