Bill, Sandy, Billy and Jacob



This day will be one that I never forget. Jacobs father was taken from this world when he had so much more life to live. How does a little 9 year old boy accept this tragedy when even I as an adult can't. Jacob idolized and loved his father dearly.To lose your brother, son and father that you loved with all your heart is devastating and I am truly saddened for your loss.

Lou will never be far from our thoughts and always in our hearts..

To Bill, Sandy, Billy, Audrey, Gavin and to my son, Jacob...

The hardest day of my life was the day that I had to tell my son that his dad would not be coming home to him. My mere words cannot express how sorry I am for the loss that all of you are feeling right now, but Lou has left two wonderful children and through Jacob and now Gavin; his memory and spirit will live on.

Our family's thoughts and prayers go out to Audrey, Gavin, Jake, Billy and Mr. & Mrs. Kehrer. I've only known Lou for 3 short years, but it was an enormous amount of time we spent in each others company.

Through out this time I saw the amount of love Lou had for his son Jake, and what a fine young man he is growing up to be. This love was only recently expanded with the addition to his life of Audrey and Gavin. He was so very happy and such a proud father again. Lou was working so hard to make life better for his family, it was an honor to know and work with him.



Love the Dulkoski family,

Mike, Adrienne, Sean & Jade
