Went to MU with Louie, he was my RA and I also played football. I was not some one who knew him very well as I only knew him for a few short months, we were acquaintances. Yet here I’am 40 years afterwards, thinking of Louie and remembering him like yesterday? He was special, people naturally gravitated to him. All 5 foot 8 of him would have 100 guys on he team listening and believing every word he said. Louie was simply a natural born leader and truly one of a kind. I visited his and his parents gravesite his week, RIP Louie, forever in my heart ❤️
