Have many fond memories of Uncle Lou from my childhood. Loved spending time at his house for family parties or just staying over with grandmom. He was definitely an uncle to look up to while still being a goofball macneal. He made a great life for himself and his family that anyone would be proud of. Sending love and energy to Linda and my cousins, so sorry for your loss. Love, niece Lindsey (sister Edith)
