Leslie and Ken,

I wanted to express my condolences on the passing of your father. When I think of your family, it brings back so many great memories of my youth. I always think about getting out of school (St. Patrick's) and knowing I could go next door for my slice of pizza before I went home and when I didn't have any money that day to get a slice of pizza, I would just enjoy the aroma as I walked past the shop. I would sit and talk with your parents who always had a smile on their faces and a story to tell. I would go there with my brothers and our friends because it was always a great place to go and know you were always welcome. There would be the pizza eating contests, the laughter, and fun. We also enjoyed our time when Ken, Jeff, and Leslie were working at the shop because we got to know you. Leslie and Ken, I hope you know how many people smile when someone says the name "Lou-Beas" because of all the memories it brings back. To Lou, "you were the best pizza maker there was" and you will be missed as is Bea and Jeff.
