loss of a friend
Remembered Lou at the nature center today. Retzer was a great place to remember a great man who had just passed away a week ago, during the winter solstice.
There are trees at Retzer as old as he was, almost 89. Some are strong. But like Lou, some are bent over and some are fragile.
And, like most of the residents at the nature center, Lou was a vegetarian.
A gentler, more humble person you'd be hard-pressed to find. Without children of his own, and his wife having passed away years ago, his friends were his family. I'd known Lou about as long as I've known Retzer. I love them both.
Lou was my inspiration. When Alzheimer's took over his wife it just made his love grow stronger. His own excruciating pain couldn't stop his sense of humor. Brittle bones didn't stop his determination, and nothing could stop his devotion to God.
Men like Lou are why they call it the Greatest Generation.
