To the Coppola family
Lou was such a character. I met him when I worked at Talmadge Park. I taught him to play Texas Hold Em and he taught me some other Poker games. He would tell me stories about his beloved wife and family. He reminded me of my own Dad. Hold all your memories close to your heart. It was my honor to know Lou. May he rest in peace with our Lord.

It was a pleasure working with Lou and his family. I'll remember all the words of advice he shared with me. I'll remember the come here for a quick minute which would always turn into 30+ mins sitting with him in his room reminiscing about his East Haven garage days, his Mother, talking about his children and of course him sharing how he met his wife. I'll keep an eye out for your wife always! RIP Lou

Dearest Uncle Lou,
Allan and I will greatly miss you and your funny stories but I will especially miss you because you were my brave taste tester! No matter what I made you always said it was delicious even if it wasn't.
I loved cooking for you and watching you enjoy whatever I brought you. I love you. I will miss your smile.
May God bless. Rest peacefully
Love, Mitzie

Dear Ellen...
Although we haven't seen one another in many years - we moved to Florida long ago - we keep up on Connecticut friends and relatives. We were so sorry to hear of Louis' passing. Our sincere sympathy to you and your family from 'cousins' Rich and Sandy Buzzard.
