I am deeply saddened by the news of Lou’s passing and I am heartbroken for Roseann and all the family. This is a hard loss and I pray they find moments of comfort and peace in their time of grief. I know the Mustacchio family through my childhood friendship with my dear friend, Marianne. I have fond memories of Lou as whenever I came by the V.S. house or saw him in later years on our daily LIRR commute, he always had a kind word for me and expressed interest in me and my family. Besides both working on Wall St., Lou and I also shared a love (and hate at times) of the NY Mets. Like Lou, my father was a Brooklyn Dodger fan and from there became a Met’s fan, so the family baseball tradition continued with me and my children. As many know, Lou was generous with charities as well as with his family and friends. I recall fondly his generosity to my family when it came to Met’s tickets and especially miss those earlier, carefree, summer days with Marianne and friends at Shea in Lou’s company’s box seats.
Lastly, I recall whenever Lou spoke of Roseann and their children, which was often, he beamed with love and pride. And the same was true of how Lou spoke of his grandkids when they came into his life. I always admired this of Lou, and I hoped my father spoke of me so lovingly to others when I was not present.
Farewell dear Lou, you will be missed by many. I pray you receive God’s grace and are at eternal peace in heaven, where every season the NY Mets win the World Series. ;)
My deepest condolences, Jeanne Mauro
