Lou was a roommate of mine at the "Green Door" in the '70s in Stevens Point, WI. The Siasefis and the Vets 550 could always count on Lou to lead us in song. I have so many fond memories of his humor, talent, and generosity. I and all your Siasefi brothers will miss you.

Dear Cindy.,
I was saddened to read about Terry's passing. I knew he was ill but not of cancer. You've been so strong for him and I know you will miss him. He was such a strong man for not giving in to the illness. He will be missed. I know the ladies of the auxiliary always depended on him to submit the applications for the scholarships, and he took over for us. We will miss him. The Lord will bless him on his way to heaven. My thoughts and praayers ae with you. Love, Karen

I was one of five guys-all veterans- who were roommates in Stevens Point during the 70"s. We all have great memories of those special times.
Loui was a friend to all who knew him.. Probably one of the best bartenders ever. He gave everyone coming in a friendly greeting, had a new joke or a story to tell - and even occasionally broke into song! In fact, when a bartender didn't show up at our wedding reception, Loui rolled up his sleeves, grabbed a bar rag and just took charge. He was a big hit with all of the wedding guests. We will always cherish his warmth, laughter and sincere friendship.

Dearest friends, our hearts are so saddened to hear of Lou's passing.....we can only imagine the valient fight he fought and then to go quietly in his sleep. We turned to memories of our youthful days up in Stevens Point.....people gravitated to the large, bald guy with the gregarious, yet gruff, sense of humor. Everyone loved Lou! Special memories abound as we recalled Lou's presence as the best man at our wedding.....living in the small house trailer.....trips to Gym Mill, Little Joe's and all the establishments around the square.

May our Lord bless you, Cindy, and hold Lou protectively in his loving care for all eternity.

Our love to you both, Robert and Connie Willegal
