Louie always possessed a lot of charisma and a lot of heart. His big personality made him a natural at being able to reach a wide range of people to mentor and help with their issues. I looked up to Louie when I was a kid ,and a friend of his brother, John. I reset him as an adult and I was so impressed at what he was able to accomplish. The earth has lost a true angel. I hope that Louie met John again in the other realm. Blessings to all who loved him.

To the family of Louie:
I met you all 5 years ago at boxing match. Such a short time ago really. I knew Lou because of Norm. He scared the heck out of me!! But as time went on I began to see the story of a man who was passionate and loved by many. I was fortunate to have known him. Norm loved Louie like a brother and he is sadly missed by his friend. God bless you all in your time of sorrow.

Jacob, Michele and Zachary - I remember Lou coaching the boys in basketball many years ago and what fun he was with them. My son had a great time that season and I loved going to see how Lou interacted with all the kids. He was not only a good and caring coach he was absolutely hysterical and he made me laugh all the time just how funny he was with them. I never have forgotten him of all the coaches Ryan had. I am so sorry for you loss.
