Ludwig "Lou" J. Abruzzo, faithful child of God, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his loving family on November 18, 2018 in Naples, FL. He was born on December 25, 1934 in Brooklyn, NY to his parents Jack and Grace. Lou was a devoted husband of sixty two years to his loving wife Mary Ann whom he married in 1956. Lou was a graduate of Boston College and Saint John's Law School where he earned his Juris Doctorate. He was a practicing attorney in New York for over thirty years and continued practicing law in Florida until 2018. Lou was a thoughtful, dedicated, and courageous advocate for anyone in need. He was a wise man of few words who always made the greatest impact. "Big Lou" was an avid football fan, enjoyed golfing, BBQing, his "boys" weekends, and above all spending time with his family. Lou is survived by his wife, Mary Ann; five children, Joachim, Grace Mary, Anne (Mike) Principe, Ludwig (Tracy), and Stephen (Karen); sixteen grandchildren; and twelve great-grandchildren.
