My condolences to Louis's family. A good friend of mine over the years as he came to the Shenango Valley in Mercer County, PA to perform with the Wee Jams for the Humane Society of Mercer County. An amazing vocalist and an even more amazing person. He will be missed by many, but his memory will live on forever. May you Rest In Peace with all the angels in Heaven and watch over all of those whos lives you had an impact in.

Dear Judy and family
I have been gone from Pittsburgh for many years. Louie is the centerpiece of some of my fondest memories. Louie was funny, kind, good at his craft, intensely loving of his family and a friend - for me that says a great deal.
You have my deepest condolences. May his memory be a blessing for all who knew him.....

Louis, I had a LOT of fun playing in bands with you over many years, and always enjoyed your stories of growing-up in Rankin. Thanks for the wonderful haircuts (when I HAD hair.) May you rest in peace, and I know you're up there entertaining everyone with your songs and stories. I love you, and will miss you.
