My sincere condolences to Gayle and the entire Polianitis family. Louis was a wonderful neighbor for many years when he and his family lived in Lowell. I saw his children Chris and Tracey grown into fine adults with their own families. He always would lend a helping hand when needed. Louis loved all his dogs that he had over the years. They were his hunting and fishing companions. May His Memory Be Eternal!! RIP
