I am sorry to hearing about Louie’s passing. He was such a kind and considerate person that i am sure he brightened the life of everyone he touched. I know he did me. And I will forever remember visiting with John and Louie saying, “Come, have a glass of red wine with Louie”.

but you go to a better place. God bless.
