I worked with Louis at the 84 Pct. before he retired. He and his partner Danny Linton were lifetime partners. Now this holds oh so true, as Danny is also now in heaven. They were both memorable parts of my career with the NYPD.

I knew Louis as a teenager and in my twenties. We were on the same baseball team in the Kiwanis league and I must have played a thousand stickball games with him and his cousin Louis Romanucci. I lost track of him for decades. It broke my heart to see what happened. He was a wonderful friend.my condolences to his family. RIP, my friend.
