Dear Oouie (as I lovingly called him) a close friend all through high school. I used to manage to include him in all kinds of interesting pranks: for instance taking all of the frogs the day we were to dissect them in our biology class. Oouie had the car and over we went to Marquette Park to let them all loose. I also will never forget when Lou was in the phone booth and I jumped in with all my books and all of his books etc. we laughed so hard we had to have help to get out.
I will think of you often Lou you were a big part of my life.
You will truly be missed a great sincere guy.
Love Sandi
