MY CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILIES
I am going to miss my good friend & Brother Knight, Lou. He was a God-send to our council, both with his intellect & his extremely good nature. We are less without him, but we will soldier on. Godspeed my friend. M. Stolz
Lou was a loving and inspiring uncle, a constant touchstone for our family whether we were returning to Kansas for a visit or he and Raylene visited Texas, he touched our lives and our sons with laughter, wisdom and incredible memories we will cherish. Lou’s devotion to aunt Raylene, his children, his brothers and his faith will always be admired and will continue to inspire us all to value the important things. We love and miss you.
