Dear Mariann and Family, Donna and I send our condolences across the miles and wanted you to know that all are in our prayers, thoughts and heart. Louie was a dear friend. We had many good times together with the Rambler Meetings, ball games, Lawn Festivals, Great Hunting adventures up the “Hollow” with turkey, bear and hawks. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention our special games at the Barber Shop and the real game at your house with your daughter. Great memories we will always have in our hearts. We love you dearly and are sorry for the ‘Loss”. Ciao, Gus and Donna
Dear Mariann and Family,
I was shocked to see and hear about Lou. I’ve been out of touch since my move five years ago. My heart goes out to you at this time for your loss. I so much enjoyed working with Lou or as I would call him “Freddy Flinstone”. We had so many good times and laughs at BRMC and I will cherish the memories of him and Jamie always. Thinking of you all…..Amy (Bennett) Kuhaneck
