Louie, you made the ultimate sacrifice defending Freedom. I regret that you didn't have a chance at life; to marry, to experience the joy of holding your child, to grow comfortably old in years and wisdom. I will always remember your friendship and generosity and your willingness to share them. You were too good a friend not to be remembered. Rest in Peace, my friend.

From a high school buddy,
