I worked with Lou at Southern Railway, in the 1950's and 60's. Lou was a fine gentleman and was pleasant to work with. May God Bless him and bring him to peace and happiness. Charlie Duffy

My condolences to the Leopard family in Lou's passing...I remember him well from days in the late 1960's when we got up a Southern Railway softball team in the Atlanta leagues, and Lou, in his 40's by then was our main catcher...most of us were in our 20's, and marveled that such an "old guy" was going strong at his age. But Lou held his own with all of us, and those are very fond memories. Lou was a true gentleman, an asset not only to Southern, but to all who knew him.
