I worked with Lou at NAA (North American Aviation)in Downey, as the group secretary, for several years in the Apollo Project office, along with his friend, Al Mauro. He was always so smart, funny, kind and helpful. I heard many stories of his childhood and we all discussed what we ate as children. We were a close group of 8. Lee Laboranti was our boss at the time. I am so sorry to hear Lou had Alzheimers, we have lost so many with that terrible disease.
Lou was one of my favoriate people. He was very proud of his family. It was a great pleasure to know him and share a small portion of his life.

You are the best person I have ever known. You will always be first in my heart.
Love your son Matt
