I met Lou through my friend, Paula, at the Pyramid club. They were first cousins. Lou was very kind and supportive to me as I was going through a bad divorce. I'll never forget him for that. Paula and Lou welcomed me into their family and we became good friends. Lou loved to make people laugh. He was as sharp dresser and loved to dance. He was always the "Life of the Party". He will be missed by many. Rest peacefully "Cuz"! Patti
