Fradonna and family, I know you sorely miss Lou.  I know your loss will not ever go away.  Friends and colleagues at Eagle Circuits, Lone Star Circuits and PC Specialties still warmly miss Lou and all of his charm.  Lou was quite a guy and I miss all of our lunches together.  He was so proud of his family.  His love for all of you just beamed every time we got together.  There were always the best stories about everyone in his family.
I miss him and hope your loss may soften as the years go by.  Everyone will always remember Lou....

Fred, I just heard and I am so terribly sorry for your loss.  You and your family are in my thoughts.

We are so thankful to have had Lou as part of our family and especially that we were able to be together Thanksgiving at Lake Lure. Those will always be special memories. Dearest Fradonna, my cousin and adopted sister, you and all of the family are in our prayers. We love you and our hearts hurt for you.

Over the years we have been so grateful for such very nice neighbors. Lou was always so friendly and we will miss seeing him. Fradonna our thoughts and prayers are with you. ~Nicole, Jason, and Landon Parks (your neighbors in the alley)

Words cannot say how much I will miss Lou...he was such a kind, funny, and thoughtful man.  This type of man doesn't come along on this Earth often enough.  He was so supportive of the Richardson Theatre Centre, and that always meant so much to us. He leaves a void, but I will never forget him.  Until we meet again Lou....

Fradonna and family,

We are so sorry for your loss. Lou was a great friend and mentor to me for many years. His advice and friendship will always be with me.

So many wonderful memories.  Lou and I were close friends starting at Harmony School in Belleville, Illinois back in 1949 up til the present.  Lou was the best athlete in the school and one fine musician.  We played together in a high school band that Lou and I put together.  We called ourselves "The Lonesome Polecats". There are pages and pages that could be written about just those high school days. I could go on and on so let me just say we shared great times together over the years.  Lou was a class act from beginning to end and I have many wonderful  memories of him I'll never forget. I still can't believe he's gone.  To Fradonna and family our sympathy for your loss.  Fradonna please take care and we look forward to seeing you.

So sorry for your loss. He was a kind and gentle person.

Fradonna and Lou, Jr.

Terrible news, I remember Lou so fondly, the smile he always had on his face, ready to joke with/at you,  poking fun at himself. If Lou was ever in a bad mood he never showed it, he didn't mind making  fun of himself, bragging about buying his clothes at the big and tall store, that was a big joke with Lou an me (I called him BIG GUY, he loved it) You are all in mine and Sue's prayers. I know you will all miss Lou terribly.

Not sure what to really say other than we have lost a wonderful husband, father and my uncle. Uncle Lou has supported and encouraged me and my family in so many ways.  I will truly miss that compassionate smile and those playful, but teasing eyes. May his music continue in the heavens above.

May God give you the strength and comfort needed in this loss! BCHS class of 66

Fradonna, I am so sorry for your family's loss. Please know I am praying for strength and peace only God can give. Much love

Prayers and love for you and your family, my sweet friend!!!

Fradonna and Family.  Lorraine and I were shocked and deeply saddened by the loss of your beloved Lou.  We remained friends for many, many years.  We shared serious moments and hardy laughter which I personally will miss.  We pray that you will find peace in knowing that you will once again be together and surrounded by the love of God.

Fradonna and Lou, Jr. Dave and I are so sorry to hear of your loss.  May you feel God's comfort and love during this difficult time.

I was so sorry to hear about the loss of my friend Lou.   He and I worked together regularly in different parts of the country for more than 39 years.  He was the consummate professional that approached issues with the same magnificent energy and logic.  Lou was positive and thoughtful of all people with which he worked.    He loved his family and his music.  I will miss him.

Fradonna - I was saddened to hear of the passing of your husband-I cannot imagine your pain but wish to let you know that my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time!

Lou was a super friend.  He cared very deeply about his family and always had great stories and love for all.  I will miss him and wish the best for Fradonna and the rest of the family.  The community will sorely miss such a gracious gentleman.
