I am so sad to hear of Lou’s passing. I just read about it today and am so deeply touched by all of the great memories that people have posted about him. I worked with Lou at Kraft and I have fond memories of lots of laughs whenever Lou was around and his infectious smile. My condolences to his family. 

Sandra 

Sending Janine, and all of Lou’s family, our deepest condolences. We are so grateful that Lou had the love and support he needed during his battle. Sending loving and healing hugs to all of you as you grieve and celebrate Lou’s life. 

Lou was a great friend to everyone at General Foods and Kraft Foods. He inspired us to tackle our work with a smile and a great attitude. I will always treasure our times together. My wife Kelley and I send our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Lou’s family. He will be truly missed.

There are no words to express the loss we feel with Lou’s passing.  A wonderful husband, father, son, brother and friend to all who knew him. Lou & Janine are not just our neighbors, but part of our extended family.  Kind, loving, generous are only a few words that describe this wonderful man.  His love of life was contagious!  Our deepest condolences to his beautiful and caring wife Janine, whose devotion and love extended Lou’s life,  his mother Annette, his brother Peter & family.  We are heartbroken, but blessed that Lou was a part of our lives and we were able to share many wonderful times together with he, Janine and their family.  We love you Lou!  Always in our hearts.  Sarina & Terry Fernicola

Lou was a long time next door neighbor when we were in Saddle River.  Great guy and father. Energy and love just burst forth from this incredible man.  He will be missed, but his legacy will live on in his wonderful kids.  Our prayers go out to the family. Mike and Penny. 

My condolences to your loved ones and to Lou's broader friends and family. I first met Lou as an MBA graduate ready to join Kraft in a marketing capacity. Lou was tolerant of my aggressiveness, mindful of my will, but mentoring in my acclimation. He became a true mentor of mine. We called him "Sweet Lou". In meetings, his smile would light up the room. While we waited for meetings to start he would always talk about his family. It was awesome. The expression on his face would take a whole new level. He was  a  gentleman, an optimist, a giver, and a truly good man. I am missing him.

We have Lou's family in our thoughts. We hope your memories, family and friends help you through this difficult time.
Love to you all,
Nicholas, Kathleen, Emma and Evan Barker

Sweet Lou,
That's what I call him in High School just saying that bring a smile to my face.  
  
Any time I heard about Lou over the years he was doing great, family first and a star at work.  I WAS NOT SURPRISED

So to learn of Lou’s passing broke my heart, way too soon.  

We grew up together Ricky,  Mark, David , ME and yes it seem like yesterday..

My deepest condolences to his entire family, 

May our tears turn to a big smile like his soon.. & may his memory be a blessing for all who knew and loved him. 

Rest is Peace Sweet Lou, I'll see you on the other side

Food sales are the reason Lou and I got to meet.   1994 in White Plains, NY, we both worked on Jell-O Pudding Snacks.   I learned a wealth of information from Lou.   He always referred to me as Big Country, since I was from Arkansas.   We had a great friendship that lasted years.   When he became the President of DeCecco Pasta, we reconnected to put the products into the worlds largest retailer.   Lou was always ready to give some advice and direction.  He was a great friend, mentor, and leader.   Appreciate his friendship and will miss him telling me in the New York accent - "Come On Big Country whatchagonnadoaboutit!"   

In this difficult time I wish to express my sincere condolences to Lou's family and loved ones.
God bless you.

It really was a blow to receive the news of Lou's death. He was the everyday positive person in the office, he took care of us PMI employees as if we were his family. Every day, when I first arrived at the office, he was already there, very early in the morning, most of the time bringing with him food, snacks and any other kind of goodies for us colleagues. He loved cooking for us and was looking forward to getting together and celebrating all holidays in the office. He was a very energetic and positive person. He always had a good word to share with me, encouraging me to smile and reminding me that life is beautiful. I am deeply grateful to have met him, his presence has had a positive impact on my life, he makes me love this country and its people more. I spoke about Lou to my brother who is a priest in Italy today, he will celebrate a mass for him tomorrow morning to entrust once again his soul to God. Thanks for everything Lou, God bless your family always and see you up there.

My sincere condolences to Janine and the rest of Lou's beloved family.  May you all be surrounded by the comfort and safety of those who love you deeply.  May you hold each other close and remember him fondly through the tears and the laughter.  Lou was quite a guy - he will be dearly missed.
With Love,
Nicola

We will never forget you, and we will always love you, Lou. Your unforgettable smile, your passion for life, your kindness and love of selfies will forever be our hearts. Thank you Janine for bringing this bright light into our lives. We are better because of him. 

We're heartbroken over the loss of Lou - He was one of the good guys.  Full of life and love and SO MUCH FUN!  That sparkle in his eye and beautiful smile that engaged everyone will be sorely missed.
He was taken too soon from all of us, especially his beloved mother Annette and devoted wife Janine.  
We'll hold our memories close - That 70's party!! -  And pray that everyone does the same.
In deepest sympathy and friendship
Diane & Bill Malloy

My deepest condolences to Lou’s family. I was so saddened to hear of his passing. I only had the pleasure to know Lou for a short time however his impact on my life will be long lasting. He would often remind me to focus on the most important things in life, family and friends and to spend time doing what truly made me happy. His laughter and smile were contagious and his generosity and caring spirit will be something I never forget. It was an honor to know him. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten. 

I’d like to express my sincere condolences to Lou’s family on his passing. 
I have fond memories of us  working together at Kraft Foods in Tarrytown. He was a real gentleman as well as a complete professional and I know how devoted he was to his family.
I will keep him in my prayers.
Mike Lizanich 

I'm deeply saddened by the loss of a great person and terrific friend who i had the pleasure of sharing countless memories and some of the most fun times of my life with.  Lou always made me laugh particularly at our "get-togethers" in Philly and AC with Mags and Richie.  My thoughts and prayers are with Lou's family and friends as he will be deeply missed to all of us.  God bless and rest in peace "Tight Pants Lewey"!

It is heartbreaking to hear of Lou’s passing.  I worked with Lou in Kansas City and for many years after when he left for greener pastures at Kraft Foods.  What I most remember about Lou was his love of life, his ear-to-ear smile and the way his eyes lit up when he spoke of his family.  My heart and prayers go out to Lou's entire family.  He leaves behind a legacy of love and happiness and memories that will keep him with us always and forever.

From the first day Janine introduced us to Lou, he instantly became like family.  His smile was infectious and his positive attitude and enthusiasm for life was something we all should strive for. One of our favorite memories was his world famous annual sausage parties.  For those who have been, you know exactly what we mean!! He will be sorely missed.  Our deepest condolences go out to his loving and devoted wife Janine, who stood by Lou over these past years through thick and thin, supported him, respected him and gave Lou the marriage and life he so richly deserved.  It was a beautiful love story cut too short. Rest in peace our friend, you will never be forgotten.


Lou was a bright ray of sunshine brought into our lives by Janine.  Will always remember the laughter and joy he brought to all of us. Also, he was extremely handsome :) 

His light was extinguished too early. Our thoughts and deepest sympathies to his family. 

We lost a great one.

I am deeply heartbroken hearing the sad news of Lou’s passing. We worked together so many years  at Kraft Foods. He was such a special person. He would always light up the room when he walked into with his biggest smile !! I have lots of great memories of Lou.  He will be sorely missed. My condolences to the entire family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. God Bless.

Paul Callahan 

Wendy and I are saddened but honored to have known Lou.  He brought his best everyday and made everyone around him better.  Lou wore an infectious smile that DARED you to not laugh and have fun.  He had unique balance and a positive, "what's next" attitude that brought people together. Sympathies to the family and all Lou's friends.  You will be missed Lou - RIP.

I met Lou in September, 1982 in Fenwick Hall at Boston College.  I feel blessed to have Lou's loving friendship for the past 38 years.  My condolences to his wife, Janine, mother, Antoinette, brother, Peter, and his five wonderful children:  Lauren, Tara, MaryClare, Julia, and Brian,   I have so many wonderful memories of my times with Lou.  From the delicious care packages sent from  Mastriano's Meats (thanks to his Mom and Dad) to Fenwick Hall and Roncalli Hall at BC, our trip to Montreal in October, 1982,  his Chrysler Laser, late night in the Mods, to my visits to Lou's homes over the years (LA, Tampa, Kansas City, New Jersey, etc), ski weeks in Tahoe, to golf weekends from Las Vegas to Rhode Island, numerous Boston College tailgates, baseball games at Yankee Stadium, Fenway Park, seeing the Chiefs at Arrowhead, celebrating our 50th birthday together with fellow BC '86 classmates,  and most recently this past December, an awesome evening with Lou and dear friends, Ed Kiley and Paul Norton at MSG in NYC to see Billy Joel.  Lou was so many things...father, son, brother, husband, businessman, leader, confidant, mentor, and friend.  I love you Lou.  Thanks for the joy and friendship over the years.  May you Rest In Peace. Peter

We met Lou when we moved to Ohio and our kids went to the same school in Mason, Ohio.  We found commonality in being from big Irish and Italian families that liked to eat, drink and have some fun.  As well,  we both worked in the Consumer goods industry and would find excuses to meet for a drink and talk business :).  
Every time I think of Lou I think of his devotion to his faith, his family, to his friends and to living life to the fullest.
While his life was cut short, he packed more into 56 years than most of us will ever do in 90 and I for one am a better person for having gotten to know Lou Mastriano and his family.
Linda and I miss you already my friend.  Semper Altius!

Such shocking and sad news, my deepest condolences to Lou’s family.  we have lost a special, bright, dedicated and smart soul. Many of us are blessed to have known, work with, and been impacted by Lou’s infectious positivity, he’s an example of how to live.  We are all better by knowing him.  Rest In Peace.  

My deepest sympathies to the Mastriano family.  I had the pleasure of working with Lou for many years at Kraft Foods.  His smile was infectious and he always brightened the room with his intelligence, energy and focus.  The numerous tributes to Lou, amplifies the legacy and genuine positive impact he created among friends and colleagues.  Thank you Lou!

You were hero from the time I was born. I will miss you and as always promised will watch after your wonderful children.
Words cannot express our sadness but I know you’re at peace and that brings solace! May you Rest In Love my cousin / big brother! 

I was very sad to learn of Lou’s passing way too soon. I grew up a few blocks away from him and went to school with him and Peter. My condolences to his entire family, may his memory be a blessing for all who knew and loved him. 



We are heartbroken over Louis’ long illness and passing.  His mother Antoinette is my first cousin.  I am 10 years older than Antoinette, so I have watched her grow up, marry her wonderful husband Lou, raise two great sons, and derive immense enjoyment from eight beautiful grandchildren.  I have never seen a person who worked harder than Antoinette at all she did, including putting in long hours with her husband to grow their business, creating a welcoming home and yard, and instilling good old-fashioned values in her children and grandchildren (her “Circle of Life” as she has described them) to guide them into becoming the fine people that they are.  We desperately need more good people like this today!

The many tributes on these pages reflect that hundreds of lives have been enriched by Louis.   He was admired for his great personality, honesty, kindness, intelligence, work ethic, enthusiasm, positive attitude, respectfulness, faith, and devotion to his family.  These qualities are a direct result of the unconditional love, influence, and closeness of his family of origin, especially his parents, Antoinette and Lou, and his grandparents, my Uncle Peter and Aunt Ida, who were very involved in the early lives of Louis and his brother Peter.  May this goodness and zest for life be carried on to the next generation by Lauren, Tara, MaryClare, Julia, Brian, Nick, PJ, Sophia, and William, and may all of Louis’ family and friends be uplifted by his strong but gentle spirit.  Love is everlasting.  We are sending our love, prayers, and caring thoughts to all of you.

Bob and I were so sorry to hear of Lou’s passing.
We only got to see him at family celebrations, 
but he was always a pleasure to be around.  
His gourmet contributions to the thanksgiving feasts were memorable.   
Our sincere condolences and prayers to Janine and the rest of his family.  A good man gone way too soon.

Sincere condolences to family and friends during this difficult time.  I worked with Lou across many different functions and years and enjoyed his enthusiasm for the business.
He leaves behind many friends from Kraft.

I am very sorry to hear the news about Louis. I met him few times during business review meetings with DeCecco and Whole Foods. He was a person very dedicated to his work  and very passionate about the food industry. We will miss him. Please receive my deepest condolences.

Lou was a dear friend and long time colleague at Kraft. I have many fond memories of work and play. There were several business trips to Vegas with great meals and late night antics.  My favorite memories would be from the annual Fritz golf outings.  RIP Lou, you will be missed. 

So sorry to hear of Lou's passing.  I worked as sales administrative assistant at GF/Kraft Foods.  He was a grand person, honest, and fun to be around.  I will cherish my fond memories of Lou and the sales group.  May the love of family and friends comfort and strengthen you in the days ahead.  With sincere sympathy, 

Lou was a mentor at Kraft and became a true friend. He took an interest in my career, as well as so many other professionals in his sales/branding career.  A class act and gentleman, who left a mark on so many people and will truly be missed. I had lunch with him 5 years ago and have fond memories of Lou. My prayers are with his family. 
Deepest Sympathy,
-Sach

I am terribly sad to hear of Lou’s passing. I worked with him for two extended periods over the course of 20 + years.  During that time, as a marketer of new products, I found myself often negotiating  and trying to persuade Lou. He was a  great listener and shrewd salesman, but always an honest broker & gentleman.  He left his beloved family way too soon.  They, more than anything, defined his life and filled it with joy. Of course, they know that. May it bring some measure of comfort now. 

I had the good fortune of working as a marketing counterpart to Lou’s lead in Sales over a handful of years at Kraft, ending about a decade ago.   Spending time together in the office or on road trips calling on customers I got to learn more about his life outside of the office and about his family.  He was a sweet man with a heart even larger than his memorable smile.  Needless to say I’m stunned and saddened to have seen this news and my heart goes out to his family.  

Lou was such an incredible human being. His great personality, passion for life, commitment to his family and positive attitude we’re just incredible.  He was a great GF’r and he can’t be replaced in this world.  His smile makes us all smile! RIP 

My daughter Janine and Lou visited us in  San Diego two years ago before Lou fell ill.  Lou borrowed my golf clubs and played a round of golf with Margarita and my friend Seung Chay.  I recall Lou making us an authentic Italian dinner.  Janine and Lou were in the same graduating class at Boston College.  I am proud to call Lou my son-in-law  while only for a short time.  Lou’s laughter was infectious.   Lou fought hard for two years to beat his cancer never giving up even as his death became near.  We regret that Lou suffered so much the last couple of weeks but are comforted by the care Janine provided.  Rest In Peace my Son!

So saddened to hear this news. Lou is my best-friends father. Whenever I came over he always welcomed me and made me feel like family. I have great memories at his house in Saddle River. I will always remember the dinner parties he would have. He cooked so much amazing food for friends and family during the holiday seasons.  I will never forget how generous and kind he was to everyone around him. Sending love to all the Mastriano's, I love you guys.

I worked with Lou indirectly at Kraft Foods.  I was in marketing while he was in sales.  Last time I saw Lou, I had just left Kraft after our division was moved to Chicago... I bumped into him in the supermarket parking lot and even though I had not seen him in almost a year, it was as if no time had gone by... he gave me his card and told me not to hesitate to contact him if he could help in any way during the next phase of my career... that was over 7 years ago and I still think about that exchange and how generous he was... my thoughts and prayers go out to his wife, children and family.

I’m so sorry to hear this terrible news.  I knew Louis a long time ago when we grew up in Clifton.  He was a great kid to grow up with...always smiling and a good friend.  I loved going to Giants games with him and his Dad...we always had fun tailgating and playing football in the parking lot.  Great memories and stories I will always remember.  Please accept my deepest condolences...a good man is gone way to soon.  


I have a vivid memory of my dear cousin Louis standing in the living room of his house in Lyndhurst, before the Mastrianos moved to Clifton.   He was very proudly serenading the family with his accordion, while displaying his trademark dazzling grin.  He enjoyed keeping us entertained and was not shy about his musical talent.  He and I were the same age, probably around 11 or so, but even then it was easy to see that Louie would be going places!   Sure enough, he traveled the world and reached the pinnacle of success in his career, but he never forgot his roots.  He was confident without arrogance; fun without carelessness; talkative without obnoxiousness; exciting without drama; courageous without irresponsibility;  athletic without being sports-obsessed; a leader without abusing his power; a hard worker who still placed his family first.   He found balance and fulfillment in his journey of life.  

Above all, Lou’s most prized role was being a devoted father, son, brother, husband, colleague, and friend to the many people who were so important to him.   What a phenomenal role model and guiding light he has been -- and will continue to be --  to his children!  We all have learned so much from him and will miss him terribly.   May he rest in peace with his beloved father, grandparents, and all those who have gone before him.    Our deepest sympathies to his amazing family.

JoAnn and I were so sad to hear about Lou’s passing. Lou was a great guy and terrific business talent.  He was always fun to be around. He  was admired by everyone...family, friends and business associates.
Condolences to his family. May God Bless.
Bill and JoAnn Mihal

I met Lou once at a General Foods meeting and it was a lasting memory. I remember him having an everlasting smile, telling a joke, and making everyone in the conversation at ease. RIP Lou.

The terrible news of Lou’s passing was posted on the Clifton High School Class of 82 Facebook page. It is my hope that his family can access that post to witness the outpouring of love. He touched so many lives and even after 40 years, the memories of Louie are still strong. He was truly respected.

Lou will always be remembered for his great disposition, friendly smile and kind heart. We were classmates in MS and HS, and I have so many great memories of good times together. Lou always took time to talk to you, and listen. He was wise beyond his years. My condolences to his family. 

Although I never worked directly with Lou, I saw the positive impact he had on those around him.  Energetic, passionate, and always willing to help you in any way he could.  

Doug Bredow

My condolences to the Mastriano family and all the families surrounding this great loss. He was a super guy with a great smile and fun loving personality. I will always remember the way he could hit a baseball. The way he could make people laugh. He had a great plan in life but  was taken much to soon. We had some good times together. I will cherish all the memories of him always and forever. We were cousins on our mother’s side. We will miss him!! May the grace of God be with him. Please dear Lord watch over his family in the years to come for they will need your wisdom and experience getting thru this great loss of life. Sheild them from any harm and give them his spirit to live on inside all of them. In Jesus holy name. 
God please hear my prayer. 
Love, 
Gina 

Lou was a terrific colleague. He had a great sense of humor and was an excellent role model for other GFer's. Condolances to the family  and may God bless his soul.  ROG

I am very saddened to hear of the passing of Lou.  I got to know Lou back in the 1980’s when we both were starting our careers at General Foods.  20 years later I had the pleasure of working for Lou in Tarrytown NY.  Lou was so kind, smart, fun, and a strong leader.  Such qualities made our work environment very enjoyable.  My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Words cannot begin to reflect the sorrow that I feel with the loss of Lou Mastriano.  Lou was my direct supervisor in the the Desserts Division where he was the Sales Director.  He was the best boss I ever had.  We worked hard and we played hard.  He treated me as an equal.  Often times Lou would put me aside and asked me if my schedule was open.  We would head down to the gym and play racketball where he would often trounce me.  His personality was radiant.  When he walked into a room, he lit it up.  His family was his life and his kids were his pride and joy.  I will never forget the afternoon our families had together on my boat at Candlewood Lake.  I never knew that so many kids could be so well behaved!  My sincere condolences to Lou's family.
Kevin Quinn

I am so sorry to hear this news. I have not seen Lou since high school, but I remember him so well. Ask anyone who graduated from Clifton High in 1982, and they would tell you what a good guy Lou Mastriano was. He was a friend to everyone... he was non-judgmental, outgoing, courteous and kind. Lou was the kind of person that the world desperately needs right NOW. My condolences to his family and close friends during this challenging time. 

My his memory be a blessing. 
.זיכרונו לברכה 

My heart breaks.  Lou and I met his move-in day at Boston College.  I was his RA.  I was lucky enough to meet his family  on that day too.  I know where Lou got his charm and good looks.  We were lucky enough to spend our work lives together too.  

Lou, from the minute I met him, was simply the best of the best.  His smile made us all happy.  His personality had us all feel loved.  His hug was comforting.  I will miss him.

My sympathies to his entire, loving family.  Lou would want you all to be ok.  

Dan


I am deeply saddened to hear of Lou’s passing. He was bright, funny and an amazing mentor for those of us who knew him at Kraft. He will be greatly missed. Prayers to his family and friends.

We are greatly saddened at the passing of Lou.  He was truly a bright light, a positive influence, and a friend. I am grateful for his friendship and how he provided counsel and perspectives to me early in my time at Kraft. In every memory I have of Lou- they ALL involve laughter. May we remember him with the joy that Lou lived life. Praying for the family and friends that are close by.  All our prayers and deepest sympathy.  God Bless- Dean & Trish General

My sincere condolences to Lou's family. I was a classmate in HS and remember him as a really nice, smart guy always greeting you with a smile and a laugh. So very sorry he was taken from you so young, God must have needed another special Angel. 

I am so sorry for Louis' passing.  He was truly a terrific person and I fondly remember well the times we spent together especially during our youths at Montclair Beach Club.

Please know that your entire family remain in my thoughts and prayers.  I'm sorry I won't be able to attend in person due to a travel commitment to meet with my family.

"Sweet-Lou", a great friend, excellent business partner, and always fun-loving.  Cheers to you my friend!  And condolences to his family. May your fond memories help you through the tough days ahead. 

Sue and I are at a loss for words.  The world has lost not only a smart business person, but one of the most caring and loving colleagues, an incredible father, husband, and friend.  We send our prayers out to the family and to all who have had the good fortune of having met Lou.  He is now looking us from heaven as memories together will live with all of us forever.   With our sympathies and love.....

I am deeply saddened by the news of Lou's passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to his entire family.  I was fortunate to work with Lou both at Boston College as a Resident Assistant and through a variety of roles at GF and Kraft over the years. In fact, when I left Kraft, it was Lou who took over my position. He made work a fun place to be. His big heart and beautiful smile will be missed. May his family's sadness soon turn to fond memories of their happy times together.  Lou - may you always soar with the Eagles!
Kelly Downey and Family

So, so sad to hear about Lou’s passing.  He was always a pleasure to be around...fun, smart,  positive energy and passionate about business  ...just a great person.  I will never forget how quick he was to smile, laugh, and was friendly to everyone.  My prayers go out to his family.   

It was heartbreaking to hear of the loss of this wonderful man that I had the honor to work with for more than 30 years. Our sincere condolences to Lou’s family and friends. He will be greatly missed. Rest In Peace Lou, it was a privilege to know you, the Toni Amelung Family. 

It is with great sadness to learn of Lou's departure from us.  Lou was a great friend.  His smile and happiness were contagious and will be greatly missed.   Our deepest condolences go out to Janine, Lou's mother and his children.  May you find comfort knowing Lou has joined loved ones who passed before him and find peace in your hearts knowing how much he loved you.

I worked with Lou for many years at Kraft. He was talented, supportive and an absolute joy to be around. His big smile, playful energy and supportive friendship are memories that I will cherish forever.  The world was a better place because Lou was in it. 
You have my deepest and heartfelt condolences. 

Nancy Stewart 

I send my deepest condolences to the entire Mastriano family.   I worked for Lou at De Cecco, and hold such fond memories of him.  His humor and passion at work, and his deep love for life and his family will always remain in my memory of Lou.   Thank you for sharing Lou with myself and with others.  Peace, love and healing to all friends and family.  

My heart was sadden when I heard the news of Lou’s passing this morning from a former Nabisco colleague. Lou was a terrific person that I had the pleasure of working with just a brief period  and always found him to be a warm, comforting, gentle man with a big heart and empathy toward others.  Last saw him at the Shoprite LPGA event last year and it was like a terrific reunion of friends and colleagues. Lou was a true BC guy ... who lived  the Jesuit values. Rest In Peace my friend ... my sincere condolences to Lou’s family and my thoughts and prayers offered during this difficult time. 

I was very sad to hear the news of the passing of my great friend Lou. I had the pleasure of knowing him for over 30 years and watched each others families grow up and spend time together in Kiawah Island. He will be missed by so many friends especially from General Foods and Kraft. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Lou's family. I have many great memories of Lou through working at Kraft with him for many years and our "boondoggle" crew getaways to Pensacola Florida. Never without a smile and always asking how you are doing first. 

It was a pleasure to have know him and will miss him greatly 

Walt 

I'm really sorry for this big Loss!

I have knwon Lou for few years professionally and I always admired his integrity!

My sincere condolonces goes to his Family !

Stanilslao Marrazzo



My prayers go out to Lou’s family.  His tough journey for these last few years was always highlighted by his fighting spirit and optimism. That spirit will ways be remembered by his friends at Kraft Foods. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. We’ll miss you Lou. 
David McMurtry and Family

Sending our prayers and love to you all. We are so sorry for your loss. 

Dear Mastriano Family,
Please accept my sincere condolences and heartfelt prayer. This loss is very deep. Lou always lit up when he spoke about his family. He was especially proud of his children. My deepest sympathies to you all. 

Early in my career I worked with Lou in White Plaines, NY for General Foods.  Being from the Midwest, I found the transition to the New York area challenging.  Lou was a welcoming friend who was very supportive.  I’ll miss his smiling face and uplifting sense of humor.

We are deeply saddened to hear of Lou's passing. My husband and I met  Lou when our sons were lacrosse team mates at Highlands. He volunteered many times to cook delicious pasta meals for the team and would tell me how much enjoyment he gained from cooking for the boys. Always so generous and kind with a big smile on his face.  Our deepest condolences to Lou's family.  
Jo, Carol and Erik Diedrichs

I am so sorry for your loss. Lou was one of my favorite people at Kraft. He meant a lot to very many. Thank you for sharing him with us. 

I was so sorry to hear the news of Lou’s passing. We worked together at GF and Kraft for a long time!  Such a good man, positive and upbeat, smiling all the time. Lou was a great family man as well. Karen and family, I’m so very sorry for your loss.  May perpetual light shine upon him. 

I am so very sorry to hear about Lou today. He and I worked together at Kraft for many years - he was a mentor and good friend. One of my favorite memories of Lou was dinner at his home in Cincinnati with my husband and watching his beautiful kids sitting at the kitchen counter having ice cream. Just a wonderful family. 
Rest In Peace Lou, and may God Bless your loved ones. 
Laura and Michael Nixon

I was saddened to hear of Lou's passing. I knew Lou for 30 years, as we both worked for Kraft Foods. I had the pleasure of having dinner with Lou the last couple of years around the holidays with Mark Magazine and Marty Heaney. Lou was a great co worker and a great man.  My god bless you and watch over you.  RIP Lou you will be missed. 

Lou is an inspiration to me.  He was one of the first people who truly welcomed my family into this town.  I cannot picture him without that devilish grin he always wore.  He has dealt with years of adversity and has handled every blow with character, a quick joke and that smile.  Lou is a true gentleman.  I would leave some conversations shaking my head thinking how strong Lou is. Through it all he has always looked on the bright side and lifted everyone around him.  He has made a lasting mark on my heart and soul. God Bless.

My sincerest condolences to the family.  I have known Lou for over 30 years as we both started for General Foods as part of Kraft family. We worked together in White Plains in the late 90’s.  I have been fortunate to be with Lou on an annual Pensacola trip with Kraft Buddies.  We will miss his smile and laughter.  Rest in peace Sweet Lou.  

My deepest sympathies and prayers for your strength during this difficult time. Lou was a  thoughtful, kind, fun-loving  person that always had a smile. He always would be the first to help out whenever needed. Lou's community spirit was evident when he volunteered for the Saddle River CERT team and when he was one of the original designers of the Community Garden.  He put a lot of effort into both! My favorite (& I think his too),  was when he drove the Good Humor truck in the Memorial Day Parade! Lou enjoyed everything he did.
We'll  miss you Lou. Rest in Peace.

Lou was so kind. He made everyone feel like they were his best friend. I will miss laughing with him. Will never forget his smile and his kindness to everyone he met. Love you Lou! I will always miss you.
Deepest Sympathies,

I was one of the many people that worked with Lou at Kraft Foods. He was a great man. I had the pleasure of both working for him and hanging out with him outside of work when we both moved on from Kraft. I will miss his smile and optimistic attitude. God Bless you Lou!  

Lou - even though I only knew you for short period of time, you were always smiling, friendly and  a positive spirit that lit up a room - always an absolute pleasure to be around . So loved and will be so missed Rest In Peace xo

My deepest sympathy and condolences to Lou’s family and friends. Lou and I worked together at Kraft Foods in Kansas City from 1999 to 2002. We became close friends for the remainder of our Kraft careers and thereafter. We had great times every September when about 6 Kraft guys would gather at my beach house in Pensacola every year. Lou was a great friend and a class act who will be sorely missed. Love you Lou!
