I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I loved Louie so much, we meet so many years ago. He was always so happy and full of himself. We had some wonderful laughs together. I always appreciated Louie doing it his way.
He was always so kind and gentle to me and I will miss him very much. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Judy and Family, I worked with Louie 30 years ago at Star Equipment and even though our paths separated I had never forgotten the friend that he was to me when I was trying hard to become a successful part of that industry. I stopped to see him a few years after we had left Des Moines and it was just as if we had seen each other the day before and yes, he was still trying to give me some advice. Vickie and I extend our condolences and best wishes as you move on with your lives.
