family will miss Louis. Louis was always joyful. My son Jerry enjoyed getting his haircut by him. He always spoke lovingly and kindly about his family! We will all miss you Louis. I could feel your positive energy every time I saw you. You always made us feel good about ourselves and life!
We look forward to meeting up again with you in Heaven. God rest your soul.
Love to you and your beautiful wife !

My condolences to Lous wife, family and friends. I was a longtime customer of his and shocked to hear of his untimely passing when I went for my haircut earlier today. As a former resident of Pittsburgh and a 44 year Steeler season ticket holder, Lou and I would always kibitz about the trials and tribulations of our favorite team. I would like to think he will be looking down on them and helping them on the quest for another Super Bowl championship. May he Rest In Peace, he will be dearly missed.

I am guilty
Ashamed of what I've done, what I've become
These hands are dirty
I dare not lift them up to the Holy one
You plead my cause
You right my wrongs
You break my chains
You overcome
You gave Your life
To give me mine
You say that I am free
I've been hiding
Afraid I've let you down, inside I doubt
That You still love me
But in Your eyes there's only grace now
You plead my cause
You right my wrongs
You break my chains
You overcome
You gave Your life
To give me mine
You say that I am free
Though I fall, You can make me new
From this death I will rise with You
Oh the grace reaching out for me
You plead my cause
You right my wrongs
You break my chains
You overcome
You gave Your life
To give me mine
You say that I am free
