Definitely, Nagy and I would be dressed up as twins in the summer when we were children and I was awfully happy to see her married to help Luis. She loved him so much! I'm sorry to find only this much later that he is gone. I am widowed also for a long time, but our children and myself are fine. I'm going to try to find you on the phone because of the hurricane is been on my mind. God bless you all and keep believing it's worth it we're supposed to live to be 100 you know if they forget to tell us we forgot to do it

So very sorry to learn of your loss.  I have such fond memories of Louis and all of the DeSios.  The legacy of family is such a beautiful gift.  Love to you, Denise Barberio (Honeycutt)  Fairfield Ct.

I have so many fond memories of my cousin Louis.  We grew up together the first 8 years of our lives.  He was like a brother to me and I loved him and his family.  I am so glad I got to visit with Donna and Louis last year.  A part of my past goes with him to a higher place where we will all be together one day.  To Donna and his children a piece of my heart goes with him.

Our deepest sympathy to the DeSio family.Lou was always a pleasent addition at DeSoto (many moons ago).Our memories of those times will never be forgotten.--Vera,Mike & Donna DeRosa

Words are never enough to express feelings at this time.  My thoughts are with you all.  Cindy McAuley

We are so sorry to hear about Lou. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this sad time.

We hope you find comfort in knowing that he is in a better place where there is no pain, only love and happiness. Please know that as hard as it may seem right now, it won't be too long before happy memories of him will start to come to your mind first rather than the more recent memories of his illness.  He will truly live in your hearts forever!
  
God bless.

Mr. DeSio was a great man. I have so many fond memories of him while growing up in Seminole and living in the same neighborhood as The DeSio family. He was a huge part of my childhood and I will always remember  what a cool dad he was to Lou Jr., Mike and Denise. He treated me like a son. He will be deeply missed.

I was sorry to hear of Lou's passing. In all my years of racing, Lou was one of the nicest and easy-going guys I ever met. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May God bless your family in this time of sorrow. Please accept my deepest sympathies.
I always thought of your family as my extended family. I love and miss those special times we spent together at the race track and your house. I will cherish all the good times that I spent with your family.

Kathie, Mike, Dylan and family, please know we have you in our thoughts and prayers.  The pictures are a great tribute and the memories will be with you all forever, love you all, Janie Osborne-Dumas

Pop-pop, 
For all the years of my life you have been such a big part of me. You were there for every holiday, always there to congratulate me, and for every one of my birthdays. This past year since you have been sick has been really harsh on everyone in our family. Today must have been the saddest day of my entire life.... I couldn't even talk to anyone because I was so upset. I still can't believe how strong you were with all this stress and how long you kept it together. You probably are one of the strongest people I know that had to fight for your life, and I look up to that every time I go to the hospital and have to go through my treatments. Now instead of me coming back to tell you about my crazy doctor stories and all about my new medicines, you will be there right next to me through it all watching. There will never be a day when I won't be thinking about you. I will never forget all the silly things you used to do like when you wore that hat and looked like Captain Jack Sparrow on your boat, when you would be in lala land camping, when you would act like "Grumpy" and yell at us to get off the white. I loved knowing you would peek out the window when we pulled up to see you, your little Coonie friend, you asking “What am I… chopped liver?” and so much more. You leaving us is probably THE hardest thing I have been through in my life, and I have never ever felt this way about losing someone before, but that just shows how important you were to me and how much you mean to me. I don't think I have stopped crying yet and when I did stop crying it was to smile about a funny story someone was telling me about you. I think my eyes are permanently stuck the way they look when I cry. When Molly, Cassy, and I drove by and saw the fire truck, the police cars, Granny, and my dad's car at your house my heart nearly stopped. It was like my whole life was flashing before me. I wish I could have you back, but I know you are in a better place now, no more being sick :) I can’t find the words I need to say, but I just want you to know that I'm praying for you every day and that I love and miss you and you will always have a place in my heart, day after day, each and every day.
