My going away party before I left Brooklyn to move to Arizona 30 years ago. How blessed I have been to have these two beautiful people Lou and Prudy in my life. ❤

How blessed I have been to have met my life long friend Joy since the age of 14 and her beautiful family. Lou and Prudy always welcomed me into their home as if I was one of their children with so much love and kindness. One of of greatest memories was when I would go to their home in Brooklyn with all my pennies and sit around the table and play poker. So happy I got to go visit Lou this past summer in Florida and hug him and sit talking with him and have a beautiful dinner with him and the family. Lou and Pru are now dancing together and once again holding each other in their loving arms. I love you Lou and thank you for blessing me with such great friendship that will last forever. 

My favorite memories of cousin Louie were spending summers in New Paltz as a child.. No one had money in those days for extravagant vacations but everyone had my parents country house to enjoy.   So many memories were made there for so many of us.  Another favorite time was visiting in Deerfield with my cousins and the laughs just spending time and making life long memories.. cousin Louie will be greatly missed and heaven gained a very special dancing Angel❤️

I will always remember my Uncle Louie with so much love. I remember him dancing with Aunt Prudy and how I saw him on TV on the Ted Steel Show and how they both won dance contests for the mambo and cha cha.  And I was lucky enough to have danced with him. And I will always remember his humor.  RIP uncle Louie i love you and I hold you in my heart forever. ❤️
