I am proud to have grown up with such a wonderful family. Lou was an amazingly talented artist. I remember looking at his paintings and sketches with awe and admiration. I’m grateful to have been introduced into the arts by such worthy teachers as Lou and Philomene. I have so many great memories of my times with this family. He lived a full life, and was lucky to have good people surrounding him. I hope that his family will find Peace within their souls as time goes by, and remember the good times. I miss the studio in the River Quay, where I spent countless weekends as a teenager, the charisma and soul of Lou lives on in his children and stepchildren. Blessings on you all.

Lou was one of The Old Gang at Hallmark Contemporary Dept. I remember the day we both resigned with an improvised comedy routine. Lou wisely went back to work for Hallmark on free lance contract. I plan to use a cartoon he gave to me in a book titled The Lucky Generation. Of course will give him credit, and pay relatives it the book is published.

My mother was a drinking buddy with Lou and the Hallmark contemporary gang back in the day. (Funniest group of people that ever gathered as far as I am concerned) I have a small painting of his that I inherited from Mother when she died. It is one of my greatest treasures. I have known many of Kansas City's most talented artists in my life. But none was more talented than Lou. My condolences to those who love Lou. The world is a poorer place without him.

Such a talented, good man. I loved the sense of humor that he, Dad and the rest of the siblings had. Love and prayers for you all.
