I was a student at Robert Sanders when Mr. Louie first started working there and what a great job he did at keeping us all in line during lunch! We soon realized he was just a big kid at heart. I now have three kids that have all attended school at Sanders and had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Louie. Being a Cowboys fan, I always knew that if I came to the school supporting my team, he would have something to say and he never let me down, he always had a comment for me. His presence at the school has been greatly missed and now his memory will live on in the hearts of many. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. I loved my brother and will miss him dearly. I know he was a great husband and a loving Dad and Grandpa to his kids. We know he is in a better place with Mom and Dad, and they are all full of life and are with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. You will truly be missed from Ray, Nicki and kids.

Our thoughts & Prayers are with the Rodriguez family. Mr. Louie was an icon here at Sanders and his spirit will live on here at RS. Raider Nation lost one of their Biggest Fan. Now you have a front row seat with your buddy Al to watch your Silver & Black.

I was so blessed to have worked and become friends with Mr. Louie at Robert Sanders school. He was a big Teddy Bear! The kids loved him so much, that on the first day of school the kids were more happy to see Mr. Louie then their teachers. Seeing Louie's black and silver truck every morning let me know that everything was ready for us to start our day. In this life we don't get to meet many special people who touch so many lives. I am lucky to say I have meet such a person. Thank you for always brining a smile to my face! My friend you will be missed very much!

My friend and co-worker Mr.Lou, I will forever miss you! Loved our talks about american idol and dancing with stars and of course your "Raiders" and my "Niners" The times we laughed and teased eachother were the best! Even after getting sick I was amazed how upbeat and positive you remained... Robert Sanders has not been the same without you, our big teddy bear! Love you Lou may you live on in our hearts and memories forever! I will be cheering on your Raiders in your honor my dear friend! I'm sure your getting a kick out of that up there in heaven.

Mr.Louie
You were such a pleasure to work with, Talk of the Raiders always brought a smile to your face even when you were grumbly. I know your going to be sitting in heaven talking it up with the "other #1 Raider Fan Al Davis"
We all wore Raiders Patches at Robert Sanders on Holloween in honor of you.
We will Miss YOU
