We met Lou and Lorraine at our 1st condo community block party in Sept. They made pizza which rivaled many pizza restaurants. It was gone in minutes. After that, we´d see them sitting just inside their garage and would stop to chat. Lou really enjoyed talking about his time in the service and he spoke with immense pride. What a loss. Lorraine, know that Lou´s memory is a blessing.

What a wonderful man. I had the great pleasure of working with Lou at DCP. He was an excellent teacher in the art of proper inspection and I learned from one of the best! All Lou would talk about was his beautiful wife and his fabulous boys. A real family man. I'm so happy to see that he enjoyed such a long and happy retirement, couldn't have happened to a better fellow. God bless him and his loving family.
