Gerry and family, You will be in my prayers as you recall the generosity, warmth and mischief that Lou embodied. I have such great memories of his timeless courtesy, his 'jokes' for his lovely wife, and his enduring faith as seen when he served at Mass despite his health challenges. He was certainly special and dearly loved.

My deepest sympathies to Gerry and your extanded families on the passing of Lou. For a number of years the Gornicks and I exchanged greetings at Sunday Masses at Holy Cross Church. When I took up residence at Westminster Point Pleasant, Lou and Gerry told me they had moved into Westminster Manor. I knew that Lou served many years as an Extraordinary Minister. May he rest in peace in God's arms!
