To my Uncle Louie and all of his:

Sweetness personified. The legacy of Louis F. DiSabato is sweetness. The lessons that I learned from watching his interaction with his bride, children, grandchildren and friends was and is, the grace of a man is exemplified through his actions with his loved ones. I, as well as others, was blessed to have his presence in my life.

Louie was a Godly man who understood his Higher Power and his place and presence in this world.

Grace and elegance exemplified his being. From his days of being the mens buyer at The Union to fitting his young nephew for a suit... he made so many look great! But more importantly he carried himself with a stature and presence that led by example. His infectious laughter, his love of life, his zeal for the love of his family was not lost on those who adored him.

I for one, am grateful not only to be a DiSabato, but to have to live up to the legacy that Louie has left behind. God has smiled upon him and his, and I am blessed to be in his company. Thank you Sweet Uncle Louie!

God's Speed and Blessings to all of his loved ones. Peace.

Your loving nephew,
Vince
