To Lou's Family - We are saddened to hear the news of Lou's passing. Tim and Lou worked together in roofing for years and Lou was a good friend. Had fun back in the day when the guys played in a softball league and we'd all be together. May our loving God hold you especially close during this time of sorrow. Praying for you all.
