Lou was a hard working mechanic at Canadian Tire, Douglas St. He loved car racing at Western Speedway and riding his Harley with his Buds!

  8. I am really sorry for the loss of Lou. I stopped by and visited with him in February. He talked of his family, and I could tell by reading between the lines, his love for them. I have very good & laughable memories of the time I spent hanging around, working and racing with Lou. I’m very sorry.

  9. Dear Michelle, Michael and Mitch:

    My Deepest Sympathy to you and your Boys, Michelle. My heart aches for you and your family. Trust in God and know that it was his will to take away such a precious soul which he loaned to you and you family for a short period of time.

    You and your Boys are in my Prayers and my thoughts.

    Love,
    Lada, Gina & Criss
