We are so sadden by the loss of such a great person. Lou and his wife Kris were so welcoming to us when we moved into the neighborhood. I will miss talking with Lou on his walks. Prayers are with Kris and his family. – Connie & Steve Belden
Dear Chris, My sincere condolences to you and your family. Lou was always twinkling, ready with a humorous comment, my thoughts and prayers with you and yours. Patricia Parry
Dear Kris and Matt, I am so saddened to read about Lou’s passing. He was always much fun to talk to and be around. I always looked forward to oil changing day when I would get to spend some time talking with him. He will be truly missed and I wish you both the passage of time to heal your sadness. Much love, Dave
Kris, I’m so sad for you and your family. Lou was such a kind-hearted man. He always had a friendly, warm and genuine smile. As the grief begins to lessen a little, may you be blessed with the beautiful memories you and Lou created. Jean Bohning (Scott & Jean, former Meadow Pass Cir neighbors)
Lou was one of the nicest men we ever knew. We are sad to hear of his passing. He helped our family of 5 through many years by making sure all of our vehicles kept running along. We have 3 daughters and they simply loved going to Lou’s. When they were younger they would watch cars being serviced and during their teenage years they enjoyed heading to Lou’s and knew they could depend on his team to keep their older cars running. He took a genuine interest in our girls and our family. The customer service he provided through the years is extremely hard to find these days. Our thoughts and prayers to Lou’s family. We have missed him. We will keep you all in our prayers. Craig and Glenda Broadbent
Lou was SO kind, always a smile to make me feel at ease. He gave me good advice on what kind of car to buy and he always gave donations for my Girl Scout auctions. What a sweet man. Catherine Reynolds Leslie
