On this Thanksgiving day 2022, I just want to say how thankful I am to have had such a beautiful, in all ways, son and how much I miss you especially on days like today.. I am also so thankful that we departed each other in this world being so very close and connected as a father and son, and the last time we saw each other the love we expressed to each other thru with words and embrace, makes me smile and feel you everything I re-live it. Love, Dad

Lou and I were drawn together by our mutual love of strength sports. Central PA was a small place for big men so we crossed paths frequently. Another Iron Brother gone too soonI will miss you Lou, may your feats of strength live on in the memories and stories of those who knew you, and may your family and friends find peace in the legacy you leave behind.

My sweet Louis James,
You were brought into my life to change everything. You gave us a miracle, a baby Leo. To bring both families together with love. You were my best friend and soulmate. Even when times were hard, we both knew we were meant to be. There will not be a day that goes by when I don’t wonder what you are doing up in the sky. Not a day will go by when I don’t wonder why. Not a day will go by where I don’t think about you and our love. I will miss you and love you until we...

It was a great honor to have met Lou. I have never met a man that was so nurturing and had a desire to be so active in his children's lives and the lives in his community. Lou was intelligent with a mind that moved at lightening speed giving him a gift at writing and marketing. Lou has touched so many lives he will be forever missed.
