That's just devastating news. Lou is easily one of my favorite posters. I've also enjoyed his short, but to the point posts and his no nonsense attitude. I don't pay much attention to who likes my posts, etc., but I always smile when I get a "like" from Lou.
I'm incredibly sorry to hear this news and I've noticed his lack of participation of late. I kept checking his profile and saw he was reacting to posts, but not really posting and I wondered. I thought about reaching out, but didn't because I thought he'd pick up his activity any day now...
I will pray for Lou and for his family.
I've never met Lou, but I feel like I know him a little. Just a little. I feel like I know enough to know he is a good guy. I'm honestly very saddened by this news.
