To the Surber family,

We were so sad to hear of Lou's passing. We'll miss seeing him around and talking stories with him. He was the first person to welcome us and was probably the last of the original owners on Antonio Street. We wish the best for Fran and know your neighbors are here for you.

With sympathy and much Aloha, Glenn and JoAnn Shimabukuro

Dear Fran & Family;

We don't know our neighborhood without our neighbor and friend, Lou. He was the first one to welcome us in 1975 and has filled our lives here on Antonio Street with news, advice and conversation. He was always ready to accept an invitation to a party and willing to go out to lunch and we will miss him greatly. We celebrate his life and feel fortunate to have been a small part of it.

Blessings,
Frank and Flo Stapleton
