Emily and family I am so sorry for you loss. Louie was a very special man. If you knew him you automatically loved him. He always spoke and had a kind word for everyone. I don't think he ever had any enemies. He was such a quiet person and would help you in any way he could without giving it a second thought. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him. May the family find peace knowing he is in Gods loving hands. My thoughts and prayers are with each one of you.
