Louis V. "Big Lou" DeAngelo Sr.

I literally just learned of Big Lou's passing and it truly saddens me. He was a super-nice and generous person who would have given the shirt off his back to someone who needed it. Rest in Peace Big Lou.... it was an honor knowing you.

To my friend Lou who looked like he stepped right off the set of The Sopranos, I miss your larger than life persona at the Manship YMCA. You could always light up a room when you walked in. The chance of you getting upstaged? Fuhgeddaboutit!!!

I worked out with Lou for years at the Manship YMCA. Lou, who looked like a Mafia Wise Guy right off the Sopranos TV set, was full of fun and kept us all in stitches. He will be missed!

Truly a Legend. Rest or Celebrate in peace. Very sorry for your loss

I had the exceptionally good fortune to meet and get to know Louis through Foxy's Health Club. He was one of most likable individuals I've ever met. It was always a pleasure to talk to him. He also had a great sense of humor. I'm sorry I didn't have a chance to buy one of his paintings.

Lou was the sweetest man! I will never forget meeting him while he was walking and bringing him home on my golf cart. He always made me smile and had the best stories. He was a true blessing to everyone who got the chance to meet him (which was everyone he came in contact with!). That sweet man never met a stranger. Prayers and blessings to his family, whom he loved dearly and spoke of often.

SO SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.

I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Lou for 5 years. I am thankful and blessed for our time together. The painting he delivered to my home for my birthday hangs on my home office wall and will always serve as a reminder of Lou in my household. His legacy will live on with the many lives he touched. Alicia and I will always remember Lou with fondness and gratitude for making the world a better place.
