So sad to hear that Lou is no longer with us. We spent many years together playing golf and cards, both in Florence and also at his beach house at Ocean Isle. He was a hardnose competitor but also had a great sense of humor. We enjoyed spending time with Lou and his wife Pat. He was a great friend.
