My heartfelt sympathy and condolences go out to you, Olive, and to your sons William and James, as well as to your nephew Quenton. I am so sorry for your loss. Louis was known as a prince of a guy and a delightful person to be around. I'm sorry I never got to meet him and enjoy his company. But he and I shared a love of wine, and I'm delighted that I was able to share some bottles of red wine with him in recent years. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you.
