I’ve known Lou since he first came to Glenbard High School in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. We had some great times together, including a trip from Glen Ellyn to San Francisco in my 1936 Dodge. What fun. He was my best man when I married Joan in 1958, and our friendship has continued up to his passing. He was and still is my best friend.
