Luciano shared his love of life with everyone around him. He made me feel like I was special (especially when I thought to the contrary), and he always made me laugh! I will never forget hearing the cooing of his song birds...I am a better person to have known him. Blessings to all of us who knew him and smile broadly in his rememberance.

Lou was a wonderful man. Funny, charming and what a cook! I am honored to have known him.

Lou, our daughter's father-in-law, was a vivacious and generous man whom it was indeed our pleasure to know and love. He will definately be missed. May he rest in peace in the arms of our Lord. Our condolences and prayers go out to Marie and their children and grandchildren.
