To the family,
You all have my sincere condolences during this challenging time. I had the pleasure of working with Lou at the Department of Veterans Affairs. From the first day I met him he was kind, he was helpful, and he was such a great worker. He brought so much knowledge to the team but he also brought a sense of calmness and comfort. Those who have met him will know exactly what I mean when I say that. Know that you are all in my prayers. He will truly be missed. Rest well Lou!

To the Friends and Family of Lou,
Please accept my deepest condolences. I had the pleasure of working with Lou at the VA over the past five years. He was a kind and passionate person that helped anyone, no questions asked. We shared a love of the outdoors and a fondness for animals. As a strong advocate for veterans, Lou served his nation proudly both in and out of uniform. He will be missed.

I am so deeply sorry for your loss. My heart truly aches for you. I know how much you and our husband loved each other, and it was so clear to everyone around you. He was a wonderful person with a kind heart and I feel grateful to have known him in Naples and spent with him such a beautiful time. I can't imagine how hard this is for you, but I want you to know you are not alone. You and your family will always be in my prayers.
