I miss seeing my Fouie Uncle Louie and am so sad to hear of his passing. I am thinking of and praying for Gail and all the Mercado family during this difficult time.

Hope you and our dad reunite in heaven. We love you and hope to continue to make you proud. Im going to miss you and the 1000 phone calls a day.  Robert and I will both miss you more then we can put into words. Couldn’t be prouder to say you are and always will be our Poppy. 
With love, 
Angelina and Robert

My favorite uncle Lou story is Oscar and Denise had a party. And a party goers saw uncle Lou sitting in the middle of the living room. He was wearing a pink jacket. And my dad Richard Rollins was wearing a pink jacket too! He said I feel like I’m partying with the Sopranos! A wonderful memory that still makes me laugh! Debbie Rollins Harris ✝️💟☮️

Dear Big Lou you will truly be missed by all, but we have so many great memories in our hearts that we will hold dear. All of the parties at Lou and Gail's house will never be forgotten. Many of us "Waldon Woods Transplants" became more than friends, we became family. We spent so many holidays together and the parties could not be beat.
 We not only partied on special days but okay its just a weekend so we got together to party, eat and eat and eat, drink, laugh till our sides hurt and always had a wonderful time. As soon as you walked into the Mercado house Gail would get you settled, no purses on the floor, and Lou would hand you his famous homemade Chili. Lou always had a joke or punchline to make you laugh. Oh this is not to say we didn't spend many nights in restaurants too. So sad to lose you Big Guy, but we celebrate your life and we were so lucky to share it with you and Gail. Love you Big Lou and I owe you an Osso Bucco dinner. ❤️😥

I have known Lou for over thirty years and the photos on this website are how I will always remember him. He was a bigger than life person, in many ways.  He always had a big smile for everyone. He loved many of his friends and all of his family very much, and always spoke very lovingly of them. He had a big heart and was always fun to be with. I enjoyed his company, always. I was very glad to have been with him two weeks ago, not knowing it would be for the last time.  Rick Carney and I would meet Lou many times together for breakfast over the past few years and shared many fond stories and memories.  I always looked forward to seeing him.
He was truly a great friend, and I will miss him very much.
Rest in peace Lou.  

Last time I can remember that we were all together.  This was at Uncle Lou's place, a hall for parties.

I can see him in his youth looking like this.  Mom had a record that Uncle Lou made when he was young.  I wish I could find it.  Him singing on a real 78rpm record.

A memory set in stone, the four of them playing poker into the night. Only one is missing from the picture Uncle Danny.  He was taken from us too soon.

Daddy, I will miss you more then anything. Our daily talks where you uplifted me, guided me and of course made jokes. You will be in our hearts forever.
Love your daughter,
Michele 

Lou will truly be missed.  His sense of humor was huge! We had so many laughs when we worked together at Briella’s Gourmet Deli.  Lou did everything g first class!  I’ll never forget when 9 of us went to Puerto Rico and the limo broke down on our way to the El Conquistador for dinner at rush hour. 🤣. Gail and Lou always had great parties at their house, except for the party that I swam in the pool and my hair literally instantly turned green.  They made everybody feel like family.    RIP Lou.  Prayers to his family 

Dear Uncle Lou,
No more worries, only love as you have joined your mom, dad, siblings Mary, Aida, Lydia, Daniel and your son Billy.  Rest in peace knowing that all things have a way of working out and with the love of God we are lifted up where we belong. The dinner table will be our favorite gathering place.  Your memory will be with us forever.

Larry and I have so many fond memories that we shared with you and Gail starting with all the parties and the fun that we had together in Normandy beach. We became the best of friends and Larry and I stood up for you and Gail at your wedding. You will always be remembered for your charm an outgoing personality. You’ve always had a smile on your face and a kind word for everyone that you met. We will certainly miss you and always think of you with love. Rest in peace our dear friend. Love from Larry and Janet. ❤️❤️❤️💔💔💔
