Louis was a fantastic man, who gave me my first start as a jeweler and business owner. I will forever remember Louie as a man of great character and faith.
Lynda and Jon, may you find comfort in knowing your dad touched thousands of lives and has now been given his wings.
Rest easy my friend, thank you for your support and encouragement.
