Def Leppard is playing in Connecticut tonight. I immediately thought of you. I know how much you loved the band. I was thinking "Lou would be definitely there" I can´t help now, whenever I think of Jaws, I think of you. I sure wish I still had the movies you made, they got lost a long time ago. You worked so hard in making those films. Anyway I thought I´d drop by and say you´re always thought of by everyone who knew you! You´ll always be in our hearts!

So I went to your favorite island this past weekend and saw all of your old good friends! There is a part of you left on that island forever. I felt you around me and still do. I miss you Louis and I hope you are having fun in heaven. Please say hello to me relatives and friends and please say HEY to Claire too. Lots of love until I get there!!!!

We would have been married 24 years today... It's weird to think about. I miss you today a little more than other days. My life is good and I have people who love me, yet you are still a big part of my life.... I think about you all the time and I know you are looking out for me. Miss you! Happy sort of anniversary.

It's been 6 years since you've been gone. Everyone misses you and wishes you were here. You definitely left a legacy behind. People loved your passion for JAWS and everything you put yourself into.
Personally...I miss you a lot but I know you are still with me and help me to receive the many blessing I do receive. I think about you all the time and love you very much. Keep that cloud comfy for me!!!!

To my dearest bro Lou , it is 6 years since we lost you and it seems a lifetime ago . The world has moved on , and not for the better ,which makes our years of friendship even more cherished . At this time of year , my thoughts always return to our long talks and hopeful chats about the future. You never gave up hope for a better tomorrow and it is that positive drive and the memories of you and Dianna that brightens up the long dark December nights and takes me back to the sunny days at Martha's Vineyard ,forever captured on film . Bless you my bro !

I still find it so hard to believe someone so full of life could be gone. I wanted to reach out so many times to tell you how sorry I was. We made peace in some dreams I had. I could see you so vividly. You were an inspiration, and I´m thankful I got the opportunity in meeting such a great guy. You had great taste in movies, music and television. Many of which I love. Who was behind writing your obituary. I really like how it was written. I never told you , which I´m sure you knew I did love you. I hope Yana is doing okay. I hope to order your book soon. You are so missed. And I hope to see ya around dreamland!

I just watched all 4 Jawsfest DVDs today. I then proceeded to look Lou and Yana up, to see what projects they were doing now. The news of Lou just completely shocked me. Felt like I knew him. Fellow amateur video maker and Jaws Finatic. Rest in peace good sir.

Hey Lou... I had a dream about you the other night... I wonder if you are still here in spirit. People tell me you are and sometimes I can feel you. I miss you so very much every single day. I wish I knew then what I know now. I bet you'd feel the same. So it's June 2022... a lot has happened since you've past... but not my love for you. Anyway... I just felt like writing today. I miss you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear bro , I can't believe it's been three years since we lost you . Everyone still loves and misses you. Especially you know who .. I think of you whenever a Jaws movie is on Greek tv with the funny subtitles or when I catch a Bills game , but it's not the same . The whole world is different now . You rest where you are and take care of your Mom and brother. Missing you so much Lou !

I miss our chats and thinking about what you would have made of the crazy world that we live in now . You are better sailing on the clouds with the Orca buddy ! Im always thinking of you bro . love Ya !

Been spending time today watching the YouTube video's you left behind... Then I crawled over to this page. I guess it makes me feel closer to you in some weird way. I miss you Lou so very much. You understood me like no other and I still cannot stand the thought that you are gone from this earth. I keep hoping this is one big hoax and you are going to come walking up to me and saying, "See I told you you'd miss me." And then laugh that laugh, smile that smile, and give me a hug I want like no other hug. There is not a single day since you have been gone that I don't think of you. I miss you more every day than the day before.

Unforgettable memories . Bless you bro !

Lou was my husband for 13 years and my companion for over 18. There is not one single day that goes by that I don't think of him and I wish every day he was still here with us. People come in and out of your life, but some people never leave your soul. Lou will forever be in my soul. There is not a single person on this earth that made me laugh the way Lou could make me laugh. I miss him more and more as each day passes. Some days are harder than others, and today is one of those days. I thank God I had him in my life for as long as I did.

I met Lou and Yana at Martha's Vineyard while they were filming " JawsFest '05 " dressed in full Quint costume and as I passed them on my bicycle, I heard a voice call over , " Hey Captain Quint , come over here ! " and that was the voice of Lou . Lou and Yana then followed me around Edgartown , still in makeup and costume and we became friends at once . They were kind enough to put me in their first film and then even when I couldn't come to Jawsfest , Lou edited in some footage shot in England with our buddy Sir Ed . My time with Lou and Yana were the best I ever had . Kindred spirits the three of us . I was fortunate enough to see Lou on a family visit to the US in the Summer of 2017 , so it came as a terrible shock when my brother rang me to tell me the tragic news . I felt a loss of a friend, film maker and fellow Jaws fanatic . But he was more than my friend, much more . I will miss Lou more than words can say . He lives on in his films , so whenever I want to remember him , I will pop on a DVD that will take me back to that glorious time in 2005 . Farewell and adieu Lou !

I want to send my deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Lou. I had the pleasure of meeting Lou and talking with him over Facebook. Lou was a one of a kind soul, so personable and very sweet, he made you feel welcome no matter what. His loss will be felt by many.
RIP Lou, I will miss you.
Rock the heavens my friend \m/

I am going to severely miss my great friend Lou, who was like a brother to me. I will feel an eternal void in my life that I do not believe has settled in me yet because this seems unbelievable to me. A world filled with Lou's loving and caring family, friends and a deep Jaws fan community, as well as his loving and caring former wife, Yana, is truly affected and saddened with his passing. I pray to God to bless his soul in heaven, and hope his life, legacy and love will forever sustain his wonderful family and friends.

I did not have the pleasure of being able to see Lou more than I did, but for the time I did spend with him, he was a great guy, personable, and very soulful. Lou had dinner at my house on the Vineyard on several occasions with a handful of mutual friends. I recall him referring to my then infant daughter as "the little Bambino." I messaged Lou about a movie on Facebook not too long ago, and in true Lou fashion, received what could only be described as a short book in reply. Lou was SO passionate about film, and pop culture, and that passion just radiated from him at all times. I'm sorry I didn't get to see him more. Living on an island tends to shut one off from the world, and being able to travel to see friends easily. I've been thinking of him quite a lot, and am grateful I had the pleasure of meeting, and corresponding with him a handful of times.

Words cannot possibly begin to say how shocked and saddened I am to hear of such a devastating loss. Lou always had a big smile on his face and a kind word to say. Always making people laugh.....i am glad to say I bumped into him a couple years ago and we had still plenty to talk about after all the years that had passed since we worked at friendlys together! My heart and thoughts are with his family at such a difficult time.
