Rest in peace my friend, remembering God times and conversations with you.

I never met you in person Lou, but through the magic of Twitter we became great friends across The Pond. We had much in common with our politics and sense of social justice. I will never forget how proud you were of your family, and your telling me about Lyndsey living and working here in England. I was so shocked to learn that my old mate from Indy had left us, and that I would no longer talk with you about how we could save the World! Requiescat In Pace my American Friend...

I love and miss you, Dad. There are so many more questions I wish I could ask you about your life. I’ll never forget the way you could make us laugh, even during your last days on this earth. Most of all, I admire you for remaining an idealist and a dreamer in the face of adversity. You shaped who I am in so many ways. I’ll always have you with me in my heart and will remember what you taught me. Rest In Peace, Dad ❤️

Louie there are no words to describe how I will miss you. I will miss your goofy sense of humor most of all. You kept us laughing all the way even when I know you didn’t feel like it. I have a lifetime of memories with you. My most favorite memory is when you and Deb took me to my first Cubs game. Because of you I am a lifetime lover of the Cubbies (I will forever cheer them on for you—even when they are losing). I will miss your shenanigans and how you loved nothing more than to embarrass me. I could go on and on about all that I will miss about you. I love you Louie forever ❤️ Your lil sis

My brother Lui, despite not having lived together, we loved him a lot, I had communication with him through the social network of twitter, we joked with Donald Trump. there was a song that he liked was "It my Life". May God keep it. We love you Lui.

Lou was such a character and when we were with him he would use his fingers to make a noise behind my ear that sounded like something buzzing!! Never a dull moment with that guy!! My sincere condolences to all of the family and friends!! Proud to have had him in my life!!!

Give grandpa Onesimo a big warm hug for me Love you both, my sweet Angels

I love and miss you dad. ❤️ I will miss your quirky sense of humor and constant movie quotes that I am still discovering today(I’m learning you didn’t have many original lines). I will never forget our little father and daughter fishing trips. (We were the worlds worst fishermen). I will always remember your dad like encouragement when I played basketball. ‶Put it in the basket chief!″ I will never forget our flea market Sunday’s and breakfasts at the Blueberry Hill Pancake house. I will never forget the little comic book conventions we would go to. I enjoyed our time decorating our house for Halloween. You solidified my love for the spooky season. Your universal monster mask collection never frightened me, I loved them! I blame you for the silly nerd I am today. Rest In Peace Dad.

Tio Louie i love you so much✨ August 1st on our birthday, is going to be that extra special now, i will keep you in my heart always, and celebrate our birthdays in your honor✨

To my Screwie Louie, I will miss your goofy sense of humor and the one liners that only I got because of our love of cinema. You always made me and everyone around you laugh. I will miss our political discussions and that our girls became activists because we encouraged them to care about others. I will miss your intellect and your incredible, deep catalogue knowledge of music. I love that we would here you coming home, driving down our street blaring Frank Sinatra at ridiculous decibels. I will miss your beautiful blue eyes but I will remember all the amazing memories and incredible daughters we made together. You will be missed my love, my Louie.
