It was so sad to hear about Lou's passing. Lou was a good friend, fellow golfer, Lion's Club partner and entertaining historian about Madison for me. Lou was an effervescent personalty with whom I came to know and love. We had many wonderful times selling art for the Lion's Club, playing golf, and having coffee during the winter when golf was not an option. Louis you will be sorely missed and leave a tremendous void in many lives. May you rest in peace at the right hand of God for eternity.
