Very sorry to hear this

I never met Lou but did speak on the phone with him several times, he was always friendly and never at a loss for kind words.

I remember asking him about some magazine article stuff he was involved with, and all Lou did was joke about it mostly at his own expense...He didn't want his picture taken. He was a very modest guy considering his capabilities.

This was all 10 years ago or more, not sure if he'd remember me but I most certainly remember him.

This is a big loss to the hobby...RIP Mr. V and hang in there Jimi.
