For several years, I had the great pleasure of seeing Lou every week at my home, where I teach singing (classical/opera/music theater). His family heard about the fact that I was having weekly sing-a-longs with an older lady who was also at Lou's adult day care, and they contacted me to ask if I would do the same with Lou. I fell in love with him the moment I met him, and for several years we would sit next to each other on my piano bench and sing his favorite songs, which I compiled with the suggestions of Lou and his family. I put them into a song book, which his family now has as a keepsake. Lou would often get a tear in his eye when he was particularly touched by one of his favorite songs, and never had a whit of shame about being moved to tears by his beautiful heart.

Here are some of Lou's favorite songs:
Danny Boy My Funny Valentine Pennies from Heaven Edelweiss
I Remember You Peg of My Heart Summertime You're a Grand Old Flag
Sound of Music Nancy With the Laughing Face A Day in the Life of a Fool
The Band Played On I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral
All the Way Be My Love September Song Too Marvelous for Words
Oh What a Beautiful Morning Autumn Leaves Love Letters
Beautiful Dreamer Over the Rainbow Unforgettable
Embraceable You Love and Marriage As Time Goes By What a Wonderful World
April in Paris Begin the Beguine Some Enchanted Evening When I Fall In Love

I miss Lou and his beautiful soul, as well as his wonderful children who were all lovingly caring of him.

My beloved brother, Lou. Where do I begin to tell the world how special you were? It pains me so much to have lost this ray of sunshine in our lives. I was the baby of the family, with the good fortune to have three loving older brothers. There was never a time when he would yell at me or spank me and I'm sure there were moments when I probably deserved it. Lou was an exceptional guy who really never thought about himself. It was always family that was foremost on his mind. He was always there to lend a helping hand when needed and truly cared for the well-being of others. Of course, I knew him first as a great brother and exceptional son and then got to know him as a loving and adoring husband to Nancy. And then when the children came along, well, there are not enough words to express his sheer joy at having these treasures come into his and Nancy's lives. He had a unique and exquisite way of parenting the was the envy of many. Shel loved him like a brother. Lou was happy that I had found my true love, too. We will always hold him close to our hearts and will continue to feel his love each and every day. He will be missed beyond words.

Dear Garrett, Katie, Lizzie and family,
I can’t tell you how sorry and saddened we are over Uncle Lou’s passing. We’re so grateful to all of you for taking such great care of him and allowing him to be at home where he was loved and looked after. I’m proud to be your cousin. You are his legacy and his goodness lives on in the lives you lead and the people you are, as well as the memories we all keep with us. We loved seeing the photos and videos and reading the memories shared by everyone. The obituary is beautiful. Garrett, we loved seeing/hearing you on the guitar. I know your Dad was proud of you and your musical gifts. Seeing the photo of Uncle Lou out fishing brought back so many memories. You can see how happy he was, at peace in his element. I was very young at the time, but I remember going out fishing on the Apache with Uncle Lou, Grandpop and the whole crew. I remember going to sleep in my clothes because we had to get up soooo early to head down the shore. I remember the buckets of cold KFC, the bottles of Coca-Cola and playing with the minnows in those containers that hung over the side of the boat. And I remember the flounder! When I went back east for a visit in the early 80’s, Uncle Lou took me to Cape May to go fishing. Just the two of us. We went out on a charter. I’m incredibly prone to seasickness and can remember going below deck to wait it out while Uncle Lou was up top, blissfully fishing away. That day, he bought me a ball cap with “Cape May” on the front. I still have it! I remember visits to the house in Mt. Laurel, the pool, playing horseshoes in the yard, the Phillies on the TV in the basement, Uncle Lou’s beer fridge. I remember him making “trees” out of newspaper for me. Wish I knew how he did that. And I remember visiting Uncle Lou, Uncle Sam and Grandpop at the store on Fourth Street and Uncle Lou showing me how they measured and cut the fabric. But more than anything, I remember Uncle Lou as a kind, decent, patient, loving man. And I always will. I want you all to know I love you, I miss you and I'm thinking of you. I know you’re struggling, but you’re strong, you have each other and you will all be okay in time. If heaven exists, it has a new angel today. Rest in peace, Uncle Lou

I will always cherish my memories of Uncle Lou particularly those carefree days on the boat fishing. The anticipation of fishing the night before was so great I was unable to sleep. The crew usually consisting of his father, father-in-law, his oldest brother Hy and close friend Jerry Lister. We always new we were in for a special day. I can only think of one trip where we didn't catch anything because his brother Sam, my father, had more than a tendency to get sea sick. The reports were very positive for albacore running at either the Lobster Pots or 2BS. We were armed and ready for battle, lines were out and no sooner did those outriggers make music to our ears Uncle Lou yells..."Sam, not now!!!!" "BRING THE LINES IN!!! Back to the dock we go....made an about-face, dropped my dad off and went back out only to find that the moment passed. I miss those days and most days we came back with plenty O'fish. Most of what I miss are those days on the Duchess and Apache with Uncle Lou and the crew.. He made it possible..what a gift.

I first met him when I spent the night there before myself and Lizzie went on a trip together. He was kind enough to let me leave my car there for a few days while we were gone and he even washed it for me. I always enjoyed visiting with him and how he seemed to delight in having company. Often, when I was there visiting Lizzie, he would sit and talk with us at the kitchen table or in the living room. I learned from my time with him how much of his heart, kindness, and generous soul I had also met in Lizzie and I am so grateful to have been witness to the depth of the relationship the two of them had.
It was a blessing for me to have met him. I specifically enjoyed his singing and the way his entire body sang with him. He was truly a light in the world.

I have so many amazing memories about my Dad and will use the rest of my days sharing them. One that always makes me smile is how my Dad would drive around the neighborhood to find me for dinner. Id always be in a large group of friends and yet every single time he would invite all of them to come eat. 10 stinky, dirty kids would pile in his car and my Dad would go from McDonald's to Burger King to Wendey's and to Wawa in ONE TRIP just to make sure he got every single person exactly what they wanted. And this happened a lot! His generosity literally had no bounds. His heart was pure.
