Kathy and family, 
            We were very saddened to hear about Louie.  He was my brother's friend for many years and we got to know him the many times he was at my mothers.  He truly was a character and brought laughter to everyone around...a gift of itself.  We will all miss him.  Please know that you and your family are in our prayers.

Louie

I remember the Crazy times at Peck school. You , me, D.J Fafara,
Jerry Klaric , Joe Pajkos , Guy McAndrew , Johnny Baca , and Mr. Priebe. I moved out of the Chicago area in 1979, I kind of lost touch with many old friends. May God watch over you. You'll be remebered.

Cuz..  That's what you always called me every time I ran into you in the neighborhood, or at your many Pig Roast parties.  Louie always impressed me and others for some reason.  He always made you feel like you were really important, always made you laugh, always asking if I needed help.  I will miss you Louie.  We shall meet again some day.

Lou,

We were Great Basketball rivals in Grammar School-8thGrade-Miss Fogerty's class-Peck School. It was GREAT seeing you in 2004 
and catching up on old memories. You were one of a kind. Not everyone has that. I'm glad we took that picturte together at Bohicas
I will always remember you-We had GREAT times in a GREAT neighborhood. You will be in my prayers my friend. GOD BLESS
Jerry Klaric

Lou,

You and I were Basketball rivals in 8th Grade- Mrs. Fogerty's class. I knew you well for about six years. Great memories
my friend. We couldn't ask for a better childhood. It was Great to see you when I ran into at Bohicas in 2003.
You were one of a kind, many people never have that. Thanks for being a BUD. Rest in Peace, Your in my prayers.

Ralph, Mary & Family~

Dear Kathy,
Our meeting was brief when I met you and Louie about seven years ago but I will never forget his kindness to my Mother on her 80th birthday with his gift of homemade wine.    He was a true friend to my brother and I know how much that friendship means to Larry.  Sometimes the bell tolls much too soon for us and this was certainly the case for Louie.  I pray for comfort and peace for you and many blessings.  Possano gli angeli tenerlo.

Ralph and family so sorry for your loss Louie will be missed.

My heart and prayers go out to the whole family. I have known Louie for many years and will never forget the times we had with my nephews The Sparks Boys and him on 59th St. It was like Saturday Night Live when they all got together. He will be missed

Kathy, Mary & Ralph 
My prayers are with you and your families during this very difficult time. Louie will be missed.

My deepest condolences to the family in your time of grief. Louie was called away early for reasons we can't possibly know or understand, but rest assured.. he'll be watching over everyday, making fun of all of us or pull pranks from heaven!  RIP. (Keep Rudy company!!)

Mary & Ralph:

Louie will be truly missed. I have a lot of great memories of him from school days to softball games.
