Sandra J. Fazio Relation to Deceased: Friend, Co-Worker of Louis A. and Louis C. To Mrs. Noto, Louis C. Noto and Surviving Family: Mr. Noto was truly a wonderful human being. He was kind and friendly and always a pleasure to see and talk to. He is truly one of those special people that rarely come in to your life, but once acquainted, you realize that you are the lucky one for having the everlasting memory of knowing such a special person. I will always remember his smiling face upon entering the Reynolds Arcade, his sweet hello, and always rememberng himself to my sister in NYC whom he had only met a few times. I will always remember sharing his enthusiasm and good times at the ball games and the pleasure of his company. To his family left behind, please accept my very deepest condolences in the passing of your dearly beloved. Sandy Fazio The butterfly emerges from its silken shell- Reborn, it arises, no longer bound to earth. Free at last, the butterfly glides to heights unknown before. So do our loved ones find a beautiful release as, earthbound no more, they leave our sight and joyfully rise to a garden of matchless beauty, a place of light and peace. -Evelyn Phillips
Michelle Baraniak Relation to Deceased: niece Uncle Louie was a very special man and a very special uncle. He, and Aunt Elsie, had a marriage like no other. They were such a special couple. They were always my role models. He treated Aunt Elsie like she was still his special girl, after all these years. It was a beautiful thing. He was always so warm and so welcoming and so kind. I have many fond memories of all the times we spent together. He was a truly good and genuine man. He will be sorely missed. Rest in Peach Uncle Louie. We loved you!! You were one-of-a-kind! We hold you close within our hearts and there you shall remain. To walk with us throughout our lives until we meet again. So rest in peace Dear loved one and thanks for all you’ve done.

Michael and Diane Dambra Relation to Deceased: Friends To have lived such a long life was not deserved by anyone more than Lou. Such a sweet, wonderful man. We will miss you, old friend. As we look back over time We find ourselves wondering ….. Did we remember to thank you enough For all you have done for us? For all the times you were by our sides To help and support us ….. To celebrate our successes To understand our problems And accept our defeats? Or for teaching us by your example, The value of hard work, good judgement, Courage and integrity? We wonder if we ever thanked you For the sacrifices you made. To let us have the very best? And for the simple things Like laughter, smiles and times we shared? If we have forgotten to show our Gratitude enough for all the things you did, We’re thanking you now. And we are hoping you knew all along, How much you meant to us.

Jimmy Mirabella Relation to Deceased: Nephew As a young boy, Uncle Lou gave me my first baseball glove. That Joe Pepitone signed glove and I saw alot of action at shortstop for many years. Our love for the NY Yankees would be discussed every year at our family picnic. His favorite story to tell me involved two of my other favorite uncles, Uncle Mike, and Uncle Joe. As young men, they made their way to Yankee Stadium to see their team, and Mickey Mantle play. Uncle Mike thought it would be nice to torment ‘ the Mick’ while playing. Uncle Lou would tell him.. ‘Mike, you gotta stop yelling out his name! Those that knew Uncle Mike, just knew, there was no way he would stop, till Mickey acknowledged they were there. So Uncle Lou would say, out of 50,000 people in the stadium, Mickey turns around, looks directly at us, and sends us an Italian solute !!! This is one of my all time favorite stories, and I pray that those three incredible uncles of mine will recall that day in their stay in heaven. Rest in peace Uncle Lou, you will be missed and loved forever. Love always, your nephew Jimmy The butterfly emerges from its silken shell- Reborn, it arises, no longer bound to earth.

Carmen E Mirabella Relation to Deceased: Nephew Aunt Elsie, Louie & Annie – Uncle Lou will always be remembered for his great smile. No matter when or where you saw him, he was always smiling and had nothing but good things to say. My deepest sympathy to all of you for your loss. I will never forget him. Be comforted by the thought that he is now with his brothers and sisters that have gone before us, but he will never leave you either. I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one, I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done. I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I’d like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun. Of happy memories that I leave when life is done.
Carl E Lombard Relation to Deceased: Family My two dad’s are together in Heaven. I know that you were the first person to greet him and show him the way. I miss you. Laura has always been my rock but she was my mountain (as she said) when my dad died. I’m glad that you are together. I love you! The celebration of life, shared in the beginning, and again, in the end. Yet we forget to celebrate it, in every moment we live. Time, days, years, go on, but are we alive? Alive and do not know it, sleeping in the world and dead to the life we are to live. To celebrate all life, the sparrow who sang in the morning, and died in the night, why do we not celebrate its life? To know thyself is to know you are alive – to give, to love, to seek truth, beauty, and suffer pain. In life as it is meant to be, pain is forgotten, and strength is all that’s left to be gained in the moment by moment celebration of life. By Deborah Peabody
