    I am so sorry for the loss of Louis. My grandparents (Jerry and Lucy Severo) lived right next door to Louis and he was always a favorite of mine, even as a little girl. May your memories of the years with him comfort you moving forward.

  2. My heartfelt condolences to the entire Longo clan, especially to Janice and Ken. I worked with Lou in the 80s and we stayed in touch all this time. He was an original. Lou loved his family above all else. He had a positive attitude and wonderful sense of humor. I always felt happier after chatting with him. He will be truly missed.
