    Davina, we are so sorry for your loss. We always enjoyed associating with Lou as he was our “neighbor” at the Emporium.
    He will always be fondly remembered. Blessings to you and your family. Bucky and Joan Buckley

    Davina, so sorry for your loss. I remember when you and lou were dating. lou was a real stand up guy. I remember when you lived on main st. , Holliston, Ma . Lou showed me his love of Victorian furniture. I just retired after 40 years in the antique business. I lost touch when you moved to Maryland. my best wishes during this time of mourning. best regards, marvin

    Dear Davina and family, I just came cross this obituary while looking at my brother, Nathan’s . I am so sorry for your loss since November 2019. I remember you and Louis at the Hanukkah party in RI when our oldest sons were just infants.
    Sincerely, Betty
