As I read the newspaper from Kelowna I am saddened to read of Louis' passing. We have lost touch over the years but you might remember that Louis was my Confirmation father and that he and his family lived with my family in Winnipeg when you first arrived in Winnipeg from Hungary. "Little Louis" was just a baby at that time. Our thoughts are with you and your family. - Posted by: Lorne Lisik (Friend) on: Jul 18, 2005
