Dear Mrs Pastore/family: my sincere condolences to you and your family. My name is Paula (Williams) Wilson; I am the late Marcia Landy's sister. I knew Lou thru my sister, and drove him around Ireland in the late 90's on his golfing trip. It was one of the best trips to Ireland I've ever had, due to Lou's knowledge, wit and friendliness to all the locals he encountered there. I had just found some pictures of that trip and was about to send them to him when I received the news of his passing. I sincerely hope that you are comforted by memories of the love he had for you, your family, and for humanity. "May the road rise to meet you, Lou..."
