I am so sorry to hear of Louie's passing. I remember him when I was young and he would picnic and play cards at my grandmother Roselina's house. It was always "Louie and Leslie" He was a fair and honest man and did lots of work for my grandmother back then. He was always nice to Kaki. The last time I saw Louie, he shucked extra clams for Kaki at a carnival. Gotta love those old Italians! He has left a mark on my memories. God bless your family at this difficult time.

Leslie,
I'm not sure if you would remember me from our childhood days in West Hills, but I had an opportunity to work with Louie one summer at Henry & Lou's open air market. I can always remember how much time he would spend cleaning the "big" white Caddy convertible, it was definitely a fun time being around him. Sorry for your loss.
