Lou Silverstein

Lou was a man of vision and compassion. He was the founder of the Yavapai Humane Society (March 20, 1972) and the producer of the longest running radio show in Arizona history, The YHS Pet Report, running since 1971. He will be missed

Nancy, all of us in Arizona Masters Swimming statewide, send love and sympathy at the news of Lou's passing. He is remembered by so many - those who swam with him 70+ years ago at U AZ in Tucson, and those who for years swam with Lou on endless
AZ Masters teams, free and medley relays for all ages....Lou was ever the quiet encourager, the steadfast supporter, and the true teacher for all, swimmer or no. He will be forever in our AZ Masters history books - for
his wonderful swims...

I will miss Lou more than I can put in words. He was my inspiration in swimming. He gave so that Prescott could start the high school swim teams in 2001. Through that donation, he has touched hundreds of Prescott's kids -- giving them a chance at being on a team that they wouldn't otherwise have. Thank you Nancy, for sharing your wonderful husband with all of us. I truly miss seeing Lou swim butterfly in the middle lane of the YMCA.

I was a fellow Az broadcaster and competitor for 20 years. I always admired Lou for his commitment to radio and Prescott.

Nancy, my deepest condolences. Lou was a very dear friend and mentor to me in broadcast and advertising. I will miss him at the Survivors gatherings.

I well remember Lou from swimming meets when I was younger, and my dad was the official starter. He was definitely a large presence in the swimming community, and at the U. of A. My sincere condolences to his family on their loss.

My first memory of Lou is from his concession called "Louie's Lower Level" in the U of A Student Union when I was a student there. He provided ping pong, pool and low priced food for the students. When I moved to Prescott in 1979 I began to notice his quiet support of the community. He will be missed.
