Louie was a friendly and familiar face for those that attended St Frances Cabrini school. Louie was our janitor until he landed a job with the city. Louie was the best person you could ever meet. He also had some good brothers Bob and Tony. Rest In Peace Louie
I worked with Lou in his last couple of years at the City of Omaha. He was a pleasure to be around and a terrific person. He will be missed!!!
My prayers are with all of your family.
We were friends in the 60’s hanging around up at the corner. I haven’t seen him since he came to Las Vegas to see me. So sorry to hear this.
Lou was always ready to share a story or TWO and he sure was proud of his family. We lost touch in later years but he’ll always have special place in my heart. Go be with God, Sir.
Rest in Peace Lou, I’m so thankful and blessed to be a part of this family and your life, thank you so much for welcoming me into your family with open arms. You treated me like a daughter and I am truly blessed to have been a part of you’re life for the last 9 years. My condolences to this wonderful family, love you guys.
