24 years has gone by since you left us, Lou.
I think about you often, especially every St. Patrick's Day.

You helped me through a difficult personal time as a friend and confidant, and your untimely passing has left a huge hole in my heart, as I know it did for your family and the many others who were very close to you.

I wanted you to know I have not forgotten you, my Friend.
