The memories to this amazing loving funny and talented man are vast and forever lasting inside me - Lou and Jay and Erika - a team that I was introduced to in 1994 - and it was my first job at a Natpe convention in New Orleans - what a great moment meeting these 3 people who then became friends for many years - my wedding took place on their beautiful property in Tarzana - that says it all - anyway - I have such great memories - so many laughters surround these thoughts and Lou - you have...

Thank you for so many wonderful years, Lou! I arrived at the studio looking for a job, pushing my baby in a stroller because I didn't have a car. I looked so unprofessional walking in with a baby in the stroller and just wearing jeans and a sweatshirt, but I wasn't planning to interview that day. I thought I'd just grab an application and be on my way. How shocked I was that you wanted to see me right away! I protested because of the way I looked, but you didn't care about any of that. You...

I can't believe it's been six years since this wonderfully talented gentleman, Lou Scheimer, departed from this life after many years of producing quality children's programming throughout the 1960s to the 1980s. Anytime a show that he along with Hal Sutherland and Norm Prescott produced, whether it aired on either ABC, CBS, NBC or in syndication, I couldn't wait to watch it. Thank you, Lou for making Saturday mornings worth looking forward to and continue to rest in paradise.

Lou was the best cousin in my youth. Every Saturday until he was about 16 My grandfather and I went to his family store across from Westinghouse High School. My grandfather helped with the store's books and I got to read the comic books Lou had in great supply! Later he introduced me to my husband, Lou's best friend, and I later introduced him to his love, Jay. Lots of great memories and much love now sorely missed.

Dear Lane,
I am so sorry to hear about the death of your father, and I am sorry for my late posting. You may not remember me, but we went to grade school together. You were a dear friend, and I am so sorry for your loss. What a treasure your father was, and will always be. Prayers for you and your family.
