When the kids were in 1st grade (Sam and Kiley), I would go into the classroom to help and some days I would get to be there at the same time as Papa Lou. I remember him spoonfeeding Sam at lunch, in the cafeteria "because otherwise he won't eat". It was the most endearing thing I've ever seen and has stayed with me all these years! So sorry for your loss and ours.

Family of Papa Lou,
We are so sorry to hear about your loss. We remember Papa Lou coming into school on a Monday with his kazoo and playing for all the kids. The children's groggy faces would turn bright and smiling as they greeted him and high5-ed him. He would share stories that were filled with warm lessons. The fact that with his own time he chose to make other kids happy shows true signs of an amazing person. He will be in our hearts forever; he was like a grandfather to...

My sincere condolences. Both my children were in Stony Hill School with Papa Lou. I am confident in saying that his spirit lives on in each and every child who knew and loved him. I will never forget the first time I saw him playing the kazoo and singing "good morning" to the kids as they entered school :) Everyone needs a Papa Lou in their life...child or not :) He was an amazing man who will be truly missed ?
