Jean and family,

My wife and I were very sad to hear the news of Lou’s passing.  Our heartfelt sympathies go out to you and your family in this difficult time. 

Since Joe and I have been good friends for decades, I had the pleasant opportunity, once several years ago, to meet you and Lou in Chicago when you were visiting. I doubt you recall this conversation but I enjoyed speaking with you both. Lou made an impression on me as a man of strong character with a warm smile and a deep love for his family. I could see the resemblance of Lou in Joe.

Jean, after returning home, you very kindly resent my family that delicious, homemade Italian biscuit/cookie (its long name I cannot remember, much less say or spell!) when you heard it was the only thing that soothed my then young sons teething.

Our love to you and your family.
Ron Shapiro & Lorena Nehring

Dear Emily and family
Our most sincerest condolences to you and your family. 
Terri and Tony Lombardo
