Not sure what to say?

Thinking of old friends who are sorely missed, I entered Lou's name now. Thinking I might contact him to say hello, I found his obituary. My husband, who passed on in 2018, was a fellow band's man, in the West Point Band. We thought so highly of the fine person Lou was to all who knew him. Regrets, love & sympathy to the family.

Hi - Just found out. Lou was a truly great man and friend. God is happy to have him in his orchestra. I wish comfort for his family.

Dear Pontecorvo Family,

We are so saddened to hear of Lou's passing. When we lived in Cheshire from '68-'98, I resumed trumpet lessons from him, and I think he was happy when I decided to stop. He was too kind to suggest it. His 1st wife, Arlene, taught our 2 daughters, Karen and Amy, in grammar school.

Lou was a real gentleman (and patient, too). You all have our sincerest condolences. May he rest in peace.

Dear Carol, Mike, and the rest of the Pontecorvo Family,

Jen and I are truly saddened at the loss of Lou. He was such a kind man and a very talented one!

I used to look forward to his responses when I'd email him my "Saturday Night Nostalgia" list of youtube videos. It seemed that he had accompanied or met almost every famous singer and band we've ever heard of! What wonderful stories and memories he had to share!

Lou will rest in peace.

Rick, Doug, and Carol,
My deepest condolences on the loss of your dad and husband. He was such an accomplished man in his lifetime. May he rest in peace.
with deepest sympathy,
Lisa Aurora
