Louie was the kind of guy that could walk into a room and befriend anyone with his charm and wit. I had the privilege to call him family and witnessed how much he was loved. There's simply not enough adjectives in the American lexicon to discribe the kind of man he was. I will think of him every time I hear The Beatles, see a hotrod or anything to do with Extraterrestrial life. He was larger than life and a hero of mine. Thank you Lou for your acceptance, your love and the many memories I will carry with me. Till we meet again, my God hold you in the palm of his hand.

Louie was a great guy. We met as neighbors at our Fieldstone Villas and quickly became friends to him and his beloved Elaine. We will miss him, but since DeJa, his fur baby passed, he really was missing Elaine so. We have faith in knowing they are together again. His mass was a great celebration of love and remembrance of the Louie we all love and laughed will over the years.
Our sincere condolences to Adele, his family & dear friends.
