Denise and Family,
Louie positively influenced many co workers at Frito Lay and he will always been known as the Godfather of the "Metro Machine". Beyond his professional accomplishments I know he was a loving husband and father and a "Family First" guy. Please accept my condolences as I know he will be missed but his memories will be with us forever.

Sincerely,
Bill Thompson
