Dad was a great guy who celebrated life to it's fullest. His memory will carry on through his art work and family. He loved spending time with his grand kids as well...We cannot express our words for such a loss, but can rejoice in the efforts by my mom to care for him until he passed away. She gave her all and then some for him; the two were never willing to give up without a fight.

To the LaFleur family,

We are so sorry for your loss, Jacques and I both worked with Lou back in the good old days at Caldor's. He was a great guy who could bring a smile to anyone's face. Always had a quick joke to share with all. He will surely be missed. Now you will all have a personal guardian angel above watching over you. Take care and with deepest sympathy, Jacques and Gina-Marie (Long) Blouin
