Mitchell et al:

I never had the opportunity to meet this great guy, but felt that I had known him all my life through the wonderful stories of Lou that Mitchell shared with me. If the kindness, sense of honor, and respect for other people that Mitch displays is any reflection on Louis, he died a proud man.

The High Holidays were an especially tender time for your father to pass. We will light a yahrzeit candle for him in Maine. Best wishes to all.

Dear Family,

Uncle Lou was one of our most favorite people. It was such a delight to see him lead the sedars.

We will all feel good thinking of him.
