Lou gave me my first job out of college in 1949 and helped my career to move on when he closed the agency. He was a wonderful boss, good friend and great teacher. I'm sorry that he's gone and wish to offer my most sincere condolences to his family.

Lou was one of our most dependable and well liked ushers at the 7:30 AM Sunday Mass, for many years. He has been sorely missed since becoming ill.

Working for and knowing Lou for many years was a unique pleasure. He was a one of a kind character.
