My dear long-time friend you will be missed . To your family my heartfelt sympathy.

My deepest sympathy for the loss of your family member. I knew Lou through my sister and Brother-In-Law. Bill and Shari Kvistad. We would meet in Las Vegas twice a year for many years with his many friends. Lou was one of the kindest and thoughtful man anyone could know. I know he will be missed dearly by everyone that knows him. May he rest in peace.

Bruder, ich begleite dich aus weiter Ferne auf deinen letzten Weg. In unseren Gedanken lebst du weiter, schön das es dich gab.
Liebe Grüße aus Wien

Deepest Sympathy to family and may Lou rest in peace. Lou was a great friend and fellow School bus driver at District 211.
You will be missed Lou.

Have known Lou for along time, being a member of the Hustlers Ski Club. Had some memorable times together. I ‘ll remember those times at Studebakers and the ski trips and the social get togethers.
My sincere condolences to the family. I know he’s probably organizing a dance club in Paradise right now.

Rest in Peace

Larry & Jan Esposito

Lou, thank you for all that you have taught me in life & dancing. Thank you for being “The Fonz”. The good times & your smile will never be forgotten. Did you open a dance club in heaven yet? Teach my daughter Laura Jean how to dance. Love you always, Jules

Lou, Brenda and I appreciate the generosity and hospitality you extended to us from Nov ’08 to Jan ’09. My deepest sympathy to your family. Rest in peace.

Some of my most treasured moments were shared with Lou at Studebakers and other notable dance venues in the area.
He was a man who never forgot a friend and kept in touch with me after I left Chicago many years ago. We shared a love of both bikes and dance.
I know that Lou is not done, he’s just changed locations.
Sincere condolences to the family.
Rest In Peace, Fonz.

You were a very special and unique person Lou. We cherish the time we had together.

My deepest sympathy to the Padovano family.

It is hard to hear of a long time member of the Hustlers Ski Club leaving.
“The tracks we leave in new fallen snow will quickly go but the friendships made doing so will forever be in our sole.”
Rest in Peace, Fonz.

RIP< Louie

My condolences to the family. A Austin High School classmate and lunch buddy.
Keep dancing

Lou, you enriched our lives and live on with the stories. Our condolences to your family may the stories be plentiful and the memories comforting.

We go back so many years. 1987 I met Lou and we had an instant bond. We shared not only our love of music and dancing, but worked together on many jobs with Lou doing the painting and myself doing the electrical work. We traveled to Las Vegas many times as well as other places with Studehigh. Worked out together and stopping after to get a bit to eat. The list goes on and on. I was Lou’s best nan at his wedding. I can’t say enough how much he will be missed not only my myself and Shari but by everyone. He touched so many lives. Our condolences go out to Lou’s entire family especially Laura and Michael who I kept in contact with.

We go back to 1987…so Monday great memories dancing at Studebakers, traveling to Las Vegas and many other locations. Working together on many jobs with Lou..the honey do guy,doing the painting and plumbing and myself doing the electrical. Working out at the health club and stopping at Portillo’s after. Being best man at his wedding. The list goes on and on. Can’t express how much he will be missed not only by Shari and myself but by so many others. My thoughts and prayers go out to his entire family and especially Laura and Michael who I have a special bond with as well.

1987 started it all! Many great memories and fun times with my best buddy. I was closer to Lou than my own brother. I was best man at his wedding, his electrician on many of his Lou, the honey do guy jobs and working out at the health club and stopping at Portillo’s after. Traveled to Las Vegas many times as well as all the other Studehigh functions. He well be greatly missed by many others as well as Shari an myself. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his entire family and especially Michael and Laura who I have a special bond with.

From an Austin classmate and monthly lunch partner, I extend my sincerest condolences to Lou’s family.
May his memory be eternal.

Rest in peace, Lou.

Lou (Fonzi) I will certainly miss you. Always smiling – always ready to help – I am certain you have “met up” with Joyce already – have a great time dancing again with her.

To the Padovano family, I’m very sorry for your loss. It’s my hope that you can draw comfort and strength from Jehovah God’s promises in the Bible. Revelation 21:4 and John 5:28,29 show that soon there will be no more sickness, or death, and we can see the loved ones we have lost in death again. May these thoughts bring you hope as you cherish the memories of your loved one.
