Lou is preceded in death by his brother Roger and survived by his brother, Daniel (Ann). Lou is also survived by his brother from another mother (Russ) and sisters-in-law (Mary Anne and Samantha), and many nieces and nephews.
The family is deeply grateful to the many people who provided care and support in his final chapter.
