T. Louis was my friend. To all the family I feel your loss and offer my sympathy. I loved the many times I saw him at Silver Lake and at the Naval Reserve Center, and we did like to talk golf. My family always supported T.Louis in any of his political races. He, my father and my grandfather shared many wonderful times talking politics and good times in Reidville. T. Louis will be missed, he was loved by all those who's lives he touched.
