So sorry for your loss. I worked with Louie at the Courthouse when I first started working for the Tax Commissioner. I'm so glad I got to see him at last year's Christmas luncheon. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Louie was one of the kindest people I ever met. He never failed to recognize me when I went into the tax office and always went out of his way to help. He was a breath of fresh air. I know God has a special place for you, Louie.
