Dear Dad,
I love you so much, and thank you for being such a great father. Thank you for always working so hard to provide a good living for your family. You have such an incredible work ethic, and one thing that I learned from you, amongst many others, is that an individual needs to work hard in life and not be lazy. You worked your whole life- up to 81 years old- until you could work no longer. I have precious memories of working by your side at the restaurant throughout high school and college. Thank you for demonstrating the meaning and invaluable teaching of hard work.
Thank you for helping me with my law school education. You were always there for me, whether it be for moral or financial support. You were always there to listen to me, and guide me along the way to finish my law school education. And thanks to you, I have been a successful attorney in the South Florida area for almost 23 years.
Thank you for helping me when my wife, Cindy, was sick with breast cancer. You came down to Florida and helped me with much needed care giving and gave me the moral support that I needed in that difficult time. I know Cindy was thankful to you for your help, and now both of you are rejoicing in heaven.
Thank you for always being there for me, whatever the situation, and thank you for being a great father! I love you! See you in heaven!
Your son,
Louie

We have been coming to Louie's for many many years, and enjoyed all the long talks we had with him. Every time we came home, our first stop was at the home of the "foot long". We will miss Louie.

Maureen,
So sorry to hear of your loss.We all lost a true piece of Buffalo NY history.

Dad,
Thank you for being the best father a son could ever ask for. Remembering the many days helping you at the hot dog stand as a young boy, I have learned many valuable things from you that have helped me in becoming a physician. Although cooking a hot dog and practicing medicine may be thought by many to be two entirely different things, both do in fact, share several basic things. Hard work, self-reliance, and above all placing customers, or in my case patients, above yourself are just a few of the many priceless things that come to mind. Dad, observing you at work for many years it became obvious that you loved your job. Working seven days a week you placed your heart in your work and always treated your customers as if they were family. It is perfectly clear why you chose to work until the age of 81. Dad, I love you. Thank you for all your love, sacrifices and support over the years. You will be greatly missed, but never forgotten. See you in heaven.
Love always, your son,
George

Grandpa,
You will always be remembered as "Grandpa Hot Dog" to us. We will never forget the good times we had together and the visits we took to see you at the hot dog stand. You will always be in our hearts, and the memories we spent together will never be forgotten.
Love always,
Jenna, Georgie, and Justin

Louie and George; my condolences to you and your family on your dads passing. May his memories be with you forever.

May 7, 2013

To my brother Louie, my best friend. I will cherish our times together. You truly have been a Big Brother to me. Always concerned for my happiness and worried about my husband and children. Your many phone calls to me n holidays, my birthday. I'm left with a hole in my heart that you are gone from us. But, I'm waiting for that "Big Banquet" in heaven wiht our Lord Jesus Christ when The Turco Family will all be together praising and thanking our Lord for all his goodness. You were the only one that called me by my right name; Jeanne, instead of Jean. I'll miss that too.Love you forever my brother. Sis, Jeanne
