We’re heartbroken to hear of Lou’s passing. He was a great friend and we will miss our visits and phone conversations. We “solved” a lot of world problems over the years, never met a more knowledgeable man.

To the St Clair – Golding Family
We wish to express our sincere condolence to the St Clair -Golding family on the passing of their father and Grandfather. It was kind and delightful to be in Lou’s company, and we shared many stories from the past and present.
He was a great conversationalist with many topics: his wartime stories, his careers in the marine industry to his views in politics— he was extremely well read.
He will be sorely missed at holiday dinners in our home. We were fortunate enough to have him celebrate Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter dinner with us, along with his other visits.
Rest In Peace old friend,
Ed, Marion, Elizabeth, and Emily Backman

My sincere condolences to Lou’s family and friends.
I only got to know him a short time through our noon hour visits, but he told so many interesting and amazing stories of his life in the military, I will carry them with me.
It was an honour to have known him.
I am sure he is having an amazing reunion with his comrades, and I am positive a donkey greeted him when he arrived.
Rest peacefully, Lou. And Thank You.

To Lou’s family. As others have written,Lou was a pleasure to spend many hours with hearing the stories of his life. It has spanned so many decades with so much history intertwined. Lou could speak of many years gone by, but also current day events and insight into our vast universe. I loved spending time with him at his home and ours. My husband and I send our sincere condolences to his sons and families. With love from a friend. Linda and Wendall MacDonald
