Miss you everyday..Betsy

Thinking of Louis family on this day all my best he was a very special man o

I am so sorry to hear of your loss of a truly extraordinary human being. I had the honor and privilege of spending many hours with Lou on the golf course at the Kahkwa Club as his caddie about 20 years ago. In addition to his extraordinary generosity, he was truly a kind and compassionate person. Each year, the last round I was with him before going off to college, he would hand me a check which helped pay for my books. He always paid particular attention to my well being and would invite...

Dear Family. My memory's of Lou are of him at Limco. He was always smiling and laughing. Ever time I came in there he would drop what he was doing. And take time to talk with me and show me around. I have always admired his love for people and his love for his family. He was a great man and will be missed by many.
My deepest sympathy to all of you.

Dear Shirley and Frani
Please accept my deepest sympathy on the death of a wonderful man that I called my friend.
I'll never forget the rounds of golf,and all the good kidding that was part of it. Also, the wonderful dinners,and the nights at the Lechtner Bed and
Breakfast.
Louie was a very unique person, with great intelligence,
class,and a marvelous sense of humor.
I will surely miss him.
May G-d give you much strength and love as you go through this...

Dear Shirley and family,

I have so many happy and vivid memories of Lou. What an extraordinary and generous man! My sister use to tell the story of how he opened his wallet to a homeless person on the streets of New York without thinking for a minute that this could have put him in harms way! When visiting Lynne and Betsy in Boston, he would include everyone to join the family for dinner -from Locke Ober to Charley's to Joe Tecci's! I remember how patient he was on those many shopping...

Dear Frani,

I'm very sorry for the loss of your dad. From the day I met him and you, I always felt a part of the Lectner family and always will! My sympathies go out to you and your family.

To The Lechtner Family
I have never met any of you but I certainly know what a tremendous loss you are dealing with. Lou was one of the nicest and funniest guys I met at Fort Lauderdale Country Club---we had a lot of fun playing golf. Rest in peace my friend. My deepest sympathy to the family.
