Lou was also predeceased by his siblings Batistin, Emilia, Dino, Rita, Ida, Noemi, Salvatore and Danilo. Lou is survived by his son-in-law Ian Cooper and numerous nieces and nephews. Lou was born in Mansue, Italy and came to Canada in 1952 with his brother Salvatore. While his brother stayed only two years, Lou began his life in Canada working underground at the Lakeshore mine. After 17 years, he began working for the town, cutting the snow with the grading in the winter and sweeping the streets in the summer. Lou was an excellent dancer and he loved to bowl. He became part of the Italo-Canadian club and made many lifelong friends. Lou married Anne-Marie McGraw and together they had a daughter Nadia. Lou loved Nadia fiercely and would do whatever he could to help her. Sadly both Anne-Marie and Nadia died early in their lives. Lou was surrounded by good friends, they would hunt fish and make wine together. Lou loved sharing a drink and food with his friends; Vito, Bruno, Felice, Pete and Dominic. Lou was an excellent cook and hosted many dinners for his family and friends. Lou was a force of nature. He made an impression on all who knew him. He was a stubborn as he was generous. He will leave a big hole in the lives of those who knew him. Special thank you to the people at TPR who made his days memorable.
