Our heartfelt condolences, go out to Louie's family, and loved ones. Louie was friendly, and caring and always had a good story to tell, about his life experiences he had in his younger years. Louie would tell them in such detail, like pages from a historian's journal or memoirs, he left a blessing in everyone's life he befriended or met through friends or family. May his memory always be kept alive in our hearts, of such a great and special man, that Louie truly was.
