I did not know Lou, only heard about his passing from a good friend of his: Peter & Kathie Woelper who I met on Gas Buddy's.com .My sincerest sympathies to the whole family. My prayers are with you.

Lou is more than a best friend to me... He is actually a brother... We have shared so many things together. But, the greatest thing we both share is our love to our wife and kids... We have talked of growing old working together and though it will not happen, you will always be here in my heart as my best friend and boss till we meet each other up above.. Arnie & Shirley Moreno

Your definitely one of a kind. I could always look forward to your comments at family gathering that would make me turn red and be at loss for words, yes me your sister n law not being able to have a come back. Yvonne was right you were there for all. Even the impossible you would make it possible. You will definitely be missed but not ever forgotten. You and Yvonne have made me believe that God heals all wounds. Your love for Yvonne through everything good and bad, I know that you were not only My Big sister's Hero but also my family's Hero. I could be totally alone for a holiday and I would get a call from you inviting me for Thanksgiving it might just be You, me Yvonne and the kids but I felt loved and welcome in your home. And I will definitely miss you and so will my children. Make sure when you see my Dad you tell him Hi. Your definitely my family's Hero.



Love Stacey, Antoine, Ana Raquel and Mercedes(salsa).
