The loss of Louis (Opa) is over whelming by far. It is hard to believe that such a sweet and loving person could be taken away at such a early age. This past year has been pretty hard on all. I hope each of you well set together from time to time and remember him with stories of past. There is a little of Louis in each of you. He will be greatly missed by all.

I worked with Richard At Charter Communications for a few years and he was a very caring and loving husband,and a very good person to work with, I would envy such a husband who cared for his wife so deeply. We here at Charter were sad to hear of his wife death and now it is Richard. I would just like to let his family know how wonderfful of a man he was and will always be remembered here and how much he touched my life. From alot of friends at Charter Communications,
