My thoughts and prayers go out to Lou’s wife and family. He was a great neighbor that I really enjoyed getting to know the past 6 years. He always had a smile and great conversations whenever we sat down to chat!!
So saddened to hear that Lou had passed away. He truly was “the nicest guy you would ever meet.” His smile and kindness brought sunshine to everybody’s day. He always asked how my family was doing with such sincere concern and interest. He made friends with anyone who had a moment to chat. He will be missed by so many. My deepest sympathy to Juanita and family.
