Dearest cousins Margaret, Matt, George, Nick, Jenn, Caden and Loden, Our deepest condolences to you on the loss of your sweet Dad and Papou. I have the fondest memories of growing up and spending holidays together. Uncle Louie had the best sense of humor and always made Dean and I feel special. My favorite story is the teasing of my mom, telling everyone that she was older than him! Most everyone believed him! I even think he had my mom believing it at one point. May his memory be eternal.✝️ Love you all!❤️
