I was born and raised in Bridgeport.

Louis was like family.

As a child I can remember going in the pharmacy and being amazed at the little man that rode on the wire. He would joke with me and tease me saying there was no little man on wire. I also remember when my parents(Jack and Lorraine Murray) and my sister(Christine Hayes)

passed,he left the pharmacy and came to pay his respects. It meant a lot to my sister(Carol)were very touched by his kindness.

He was a very kind man and considered a member of our family.

We will truely miss him
