Hi Lou, been a short while between visits, you and me. Thank You for your friendship and advice thru the decades. See you later,
Lou became a devoted Customer so loyal in fact that was #1 in my Book during the 12 years I was Located on corner and one block down from A-1 Glass on Calder. RIP Lou! Condolences to his Family.
Barb, my heart goes out to you. Lou and I talked often at church. Once we talked about Tom in the memory care unit and him missing his birds, Lou said he could put up a feeder and so he did! He was always smiling and his confidence in the Lord was an encouragement in even the most trying circumstances. His life brought glory to our Lord.
I was privileged to know Lou if only for a short time thru Beaumont Bible Church. He melted my heart when he and a partner, unknown to any of us, came to install a bird house outside my late father’s window when my father was in decline and residing in an assisted living facility. I happened to be there to witness the event. This love and compassion for others is a real testament to who Lou was. A true brother in Christ.
Lou, our hearts are broken. It was just too soon. We can say that we have had 57 years of awesome memories. We are going to miss you old friend. Till we meet again up yonder.
Lou, you were definitely one of a kind. I will never forget working for you at A-1 Glass. I know you will be missed! You we’re always fun to be a round. Until we meet again my friend.
Rest in peace
One of my most faithful advertisers but one of my most cherished friends. How many times did we sit and talk about Lamar b.ball& high school football and gosh knows what else. My most sincere condolences to Barbara and family.
Prayers for the Green family. He was such a nice man. RIP
