Not sure what to say?

Thank you Lou for your bravery and what you did. I never met you or anyone in your family, but I want your family to know that my Mom was born on December 7th, 1941. Yes, on Pearl Harbor Day. God bless the family of Lou.

Someone I would have appreciated meeting during our lifetime. Our Condolences To The Conter Family at this sad time. God Be With You Lou always. Mr Mrs Norman Marineau Sun City Arizona.

A Veteran of distinguished Fame. That should be forever remembered. God Bless You Always. And Your Family at this sad time. Art Bates.

I felt honored to have met Lou and his wife Val in Hawaii one year, such wonderful souls. Our paths crossed again when as a employee of Sacramento Kings Basketball I was able to introduce Basketball Operations event staff to Lou by way of the Sacramento Kings personally honoring Lou, and his service. This was at a Kings game one evening on March 2nd, 2011 I think. Lou, his daughter and some family and a long time friend were invited by the Kings organization to attend the basketball game....

My Mother called Lou 'The Last True Gentleman". She met Lou in their Cardiac Rehab Class and enjoyed talking with him and hearing his stories and memories. Lou was a Family man and his wife, Val, was his anchor. I always thought and hoped that Tom Hanks would make a movie telling Lou's story and thus Honoring the Hero and Legend. With Respect, C. Charley and Mom, Sue Charley

Sending my love and gratitude to you for your life of service Lou!

I met Lou when he and Valerie moved to Alta Sierra when handling their escrow. I can´t explain how much I cherished the honor of knowing this brave, honorable, patriot.. His service and sacrifice is unimaginable to me and am grateful for his service to our country and all fellow Americans. We have truly lost a real American hero, as humble as Lou was I couldn´t say that to him, as he used to say " I´m not a hero, the hero´s are the ones who didn´t get to come home" I sincerely pray the lord...

Sending sincere condolences to the Conter family. Thank you for your service. You lived life well. Our younger generation would do well to sit up and take notice of men like this and follow their example serving God, Family and Country. HAND SALUTE !!! Stimothy S. USMC

Deepest sympathy for Lou and his family, but what a life well lived! I had the privelege of meeting him a few times when he would pop into the DA's office when I was the receptionist there. He was such a nice man and will be missed!
