He was the heart of our family
Louis was my grandfather. He lived for his family: his wife, Betty; my mother, Mary; my son and me. My mother, my son and I were all only children.
Grandpa was a hard worker, growing his own garden in his small backyard in Queens, NY, where he lived from when he and my grandmother got married in 1942 until 2007, when his health started to really decline and moved in with my parents in Virgina. He was a WWII Navy veteran and was proud member of VFW Post 885 in College Point, NY. He lived to fish and was a members of Five Corners Fishing Club. He fished until he was in his late 70’s and his mobility was declining. He was a fabulous cook, as were most of his siblings. He and his sister, Rose, would cook for events at the VFW hall. My grandfather was my best friend and my I miss him everyday.
