The spirit of Louis Nunnery will dance in heaven. We will certainly miss him down here.
Truly one of a kind. A great man. God must be well pleased.

Louis Nunnery was my friend and somewhat cohort for 40 years. I knew and admired his mom to whom he was devoted. He taught my 4 daughters ballet, one being in the company. i even took one year myself. His recitals were the highlights for many. His life, work, and influence will be a treasured memory.

I was probably Louis's worst student. Starting around age 50, with no dance background or talent, I started his exercise class, which had an emphasis on ballet. He patiently tried to teach me the steps and all, and didn't seem to mind my fumbling around cuz I had so much fun trying.  A crusty character outwardly, but a heart of gold inwardly. Kind and understanding, wise, funny, you just liked being around him. I miss you, dear friend, and will cherish the fond memories always. Janine

My dear friend, Louis..............

Thank  you  for  letting  me   be a part of  your  ballets  and thank  you  most of  all  for  showing  the  world  tha  we  all  can  dance to a  diffent beat........

My Dear Sweet Friend,  life crossed our paths and your divine personna could not help but accentuate my life. I had you on my mind and was heartbroken you left us here. Sorry I was not around to pay you respect. I expect to ballroom dance all over Paradise With you,  so keep me a dance my sweet brother. All my love. Lee

Louis was an Amazing teacher & friend.  Everyone who met Louis loved him, and if you talked with him you left the conversation a more learned person.  Louis was always a teacher first whether Ballet or life, He was the most intelligent man I have ever known,  always had a wonderful outlook on life.  Louis you will be missed greatly, Heaven has gained a wonderful soul

Mr. Nunnery was an amazing teacher who taught me so much. I will never forget him and the love he had for ballet. He always believed in me and I owe so much to him. Love you!

Like so many others, I studied under Louis when I was a little girl. He introduced me to a new style of art which I have appreciated all my life. But Louis, there are stretches on that bar you tried to help me achieve - hey, I'm still trying!

We shared many wonderful years together and I will miss him deeply.

Having known you for fifty years, I can only wish you the best as you go to your next performance.  You are truly one of the funniest and creative men that ever shared air.  You will live on in the many stories you told and inspired!  Goodbye Dear Friend.  You remain George's favorite 'vegetable'!

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

I will never forget you, as a child I was a student for several years, you taught me so many life lessons. You nick-named me Angelique. It was an honor to have been your student.

I will miss you, my friend. Love and prayers go out to your family. You taught us dancers grace, poise, manners, self confidence and many other fine qualities in life, from day one! I'll never forget your lessons on picking up the right foot for piourette turns after you stomped on my foot and then said..."now pick up the one that hurts!" haha!!! I never forgot after that. What a joy you were and your quick sense of humor. You helped kick start my dancing, performing and teaching career for over 45 years and I'll always treasure the love of dance, thanks to you.
You will certainly be missed!

Louis we loved you! I will always remember racing to get the good desserts when we went to the family gatherings!!

Mr  Nunnery  you  will  be  missed  very much by many people.  You were a special ballet teacher and friend that touched many hearts.  As once a student of yours I know you touched my heart.  Bless you my friend and let your spirit dance.

What wonderful memories of our dance classes in Charlotte and the Corvette trips to see your family back in the early 50's. Mama loved you almost as much as my sister and I did! Your influence on our young lives was profound, as I'm sure many more students to come after us. 
Sympathies to family and loved ones.

You have been there as long as I can remember, as a teacher and as a friend of my mother.  I can't describe how much you meant and still mean to me.

I only know of you, but what I do know, is several young minds and bodies were greatly improved by your teaching. May your spirit soar, Mr. Nunnery. Blessed Be, dear man.

Louis, I will never forget our friendship, our talks and our laughs...especially when the laughter was about us.  Oh, could we ever laugh.  I will miss you, my friend and thanks for the memories.

Louis, it has been an honor to be your friend.  We have exchanged confidences and had a lot of laughs, even at ourselves.  Thanks for the memories.  You will be missed beyond your imagination.

You had a larger than life persona, I enjoyed the conversations everytime that we met. And everyone knew who was in that Rolls when we saw it, There goes Louis. RIP my friend, You will be missed.

We laughed so many times in our 28.5 year friendship. Til we meet again Louis. Rest my friend. I will miss those long telephone conversations. See you on the other side.

You are an talented, inspirational man and we will never forget the kindness you have shown our family.  Thank you for sharing ballet with so many... you will live on in the hearts of your dancers.

Louis Nunnery - you will forever be remembered as an inspirational and astounding teacher in the dance community! The discipline and drive of your classes and the artistry of your ballets will serve as a path to what we should try to achieve as an artist and understand that we should never compromise our beliefs. You never did! Bravo!!!!

You will be missed!! Thank you for your sweet friendship over the years, and for your love of dance it has touched many!!

You were the epitome of kindness to my little family. You helped instill in my daughter a love of beauty and grace.

Thanks for your inspiration in dance and beyond!  You were a true Southern gentleman!
