I am so sorry to hear of your loss, and at such a difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.....
Uncle Louie was a caring uncle and loving husband and father. I remember when Uncle Louie came to our house and threw me in our pool. Don't think he knew I could not swim. May God be with his family at this time. Rest in peace Uncle Louie
I would like to express my sincere condolences at the passing of your dad. Louie and I and all of us at table 8 at the senior center had so many laughs over lunch, I would find myself laughing about it sometimes days later. Lunch will not be the same without him. He was truly a nice man and I know I will miss him dearly. Sincerely Donna Andre
