LOUIS, I THINK OF YOU OFTEN, WATCH OVER YOUR DAD AND SISTER, YOU ARE VERY MISSED AND ALWAYS LOVED. YOUR BABYSITTER PENNY
Louis,
I think of you often. I’ve tried for many years to walk back into your home and not feel pain. All the memories flood me, your silly demeanor and laugh; the sarcasm was strong with this one. You helped everyone, even when you couldn’t help yourself. I’ve tried to salvage your home each time another tenant wrecks it. I work with grandpa to secure your memory there. Breathe love back into it, make it look like you always had it;, like someone cherished that piece of heaven on earth. I find myself there again this month, picking up the pieces to preserve the family legacy. I can finally walk into it and smile. I’m taking care of it now. I know you’re watching me, I can feel it. You’re smiling, knowing I’ll keep a watch on the place. Bucky is running amok, you’re sitting on the porch with a busch tally, watching the dolphins, listening to your tunes, telling a silly joke with that sly smile. Rest easy, I got this Uncle. Love you always xoox
i met louis in 1997 when my dad and i went to visit him and my uncle lou..in washington state,,,louis allowed me to stay in his home for 2 weeks and he treated me like i was his little brother ..and i will miss him dearly..in the short period of time i spend with louis we bonded like real family…this is a terrible tragedy that could have been avoided…but i believe my cousin is in a much better place…..i love you louis…and we will met again soon
Louis and family,
I remember when i first meet you in Pompano Beach, Florida. I was 11 yrs old. I was so happy to have a big brother. You were alway good to me. You always had the time for me when i had questions. Although i was much younger than you Ralph and Liz. You made me feel accepted in your family as your little brother. I use to love listening to the stories of you and Ralph growing up. I remember sharing a room with you for a while. We would have so much fun at night laughing so much my mom would come in and tell us to be quite and go to sleep. You told me the funnest jokes! I would go to school and have all the students laughing so hard tears were rolling down there face. Even the teachers would loose there composer for a few minutes before telling me to shut up. I really have missed you Ralph and Liz all these years. Oneday we will be togather again. I could see it already. Ill be walking into Heaven through those pearly gates. It will be easy to find you. I will only have to follow the laughs. Im sure you will have all the Angles and God himself in tears too! Not to mention the loadest stereo system. Lol I love ya and miss ya alot! See you soon. Your long lost little brother Kish
I know I am very late at signing this online guestbook, but I realize I do want to thank everyone for all their kind words and prayers. I’d also like to thank everyone whom attended his service. We had quite a few show! I love Louie so very, very much and I miss him terribly. He full filled my heart and always made my soul happy. He will always be by my side as my soul-mate.
Louie, you are “Just What I Needed” by The Cars and we are “Living On A Prayer” by Bon Jovi.
I will see you in Heaven my love, so get busy building that BIG Log Cabin, sweetie, to prepare a space for our whole families.
My love and prayers go out to his whole family daily. God Bless all of you!
All my love, Aleatha
i am sorry lou auriemma sr. for the loss of your son. what a tragedy. i hope you are doing ok.
Louie,
You were like a brother-in-law to me and will always be in my heart! You will be missed very much.
Love you, Bea
My son and I were very close. We had a special bond that was unique ,bar none. I am still in shock over his senseless taking. He knew the Lord ,and led his life helping people with no intention of compensation. He gave what he had to all that needed him, food, shelter, companionship, money, even if he had very little of his own. I thank GOD for giving me such a fine son. He was loved by all that knew him. He was honest and true, and avoided all adversity and conflict
He is in a better place now, and surely would not want to come back.
His Loving Dad, Lou Auriemma Sr.
I met Louis just once. I have had the pleasure of knowing his dad, Louis Sr. for approx. 4 yrs. Louie is more than a client. He has become a bird of the same feather to me. I can only think from what everyone has said and I have heard, and from knowing Louie Sr., that Louis must have been a truly good, good spirit. I feel for the loss of your son Louie, as I have sons of my own. I can image and feel the nightmarish loss you must feel. I know and believe with all my heart he is in a better place than we. My heart really goes out to you Louie and the rest of the family. I always look forward to your coming to Wa. state, even though we don’t very much or each other. You know you have only to pick up the phone or email me if you need. God bless your departed sons soul, you, and your family. Very sincerely, and with warmest regards. Ron Allen
Dear Louis,
Although I never knew you well, I’ve heard your Dad speak of you often. You were the light in his life.
Your Dad loved your truthfulness and faithfullness.
you will be sadly missed.
Louie is and will continue to be through our memories a genuine badass.
Like, what a funny guy, like honestly and truly happy being himself. I loved his jokes, he didn’t care if anybody else got it he was making him self laugh and that’s what mattered. He opened his home to me as if I were family and never took that sentiment back, despite where I stood with Joey.
My first memories from the time I spent in Washington were waking up to Louie and his friends belting out karaoke at odd hours of the morning over those giant speakers. Like what?! He did what he loved and disregarded anything said otherwise. I remember when there would be no one home and nothing to do and we’d sit and smoke cigarettes and stare at the fish tank for hours.. . He brightened up my time I spent in Washington and that will always stay with me.
We’ll all always love you.
To Louis & The Auriemma Family,
When we were teens in Pompano Beach, FL, I remember Louis as Ralph’s kd brother, who always had a smile on his face and was Ralph’s foil when we would all ultimately get in trouble for our silly teen antics. I remember vividly sneaking in to Ralph & Louis’s room and hiding in the closet and getting caught the next morning by their Mom in spite of Ralph & Louis’s efforts to act like they were asleep the whole time while I was stammering and attempting to explain away our infraction….
While no words can suffice, we pray for Louis and his eternal gifts in Heaven and for his family that lost a beloved Brother, Son, Father and Friend. God Bless the Auriemma family, Louis, and his Children and friends.. I always lean on a Psalm in times of grief and sadness and offer this to the family
Psalms 147:3
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
Heavenly Father, thank you that you promise comfort to those who mourn. Heavenly Father, we know that you are the God of all comfort. Lord, we ask you to comfort the family and friends of Louis and fill them with your peace. Give them the strength they need in this difficult time. We pray that you would surround them with your love. Heal their brokenness and bind their wounds, in Jesus name. Amen
Louis u will be missed by all u were an awesome person.u and Carey used to make me so mar by getting in so late from laying carpet but u could always make me smile by cracking some stupid joke. Rest in peace.
Uncle Louis I love you so much. You were without a doubt one of my favorite people in this world an will always be. I have so many memories of growing up and having you in my life and I just want to thank you for always being there for me no matter what. I could, tell you anything and you would always have the right thing to say to make me feel better. Always had a funny joke or some sarcastic clever antic to bring to the table. The world is a far worse place without you. You will be missed terribly. <3
Louis,
My medievil brother. Thank you for being such a wonderful brother. For letting me sleep in your bed when i was a little girl afraid of the dark. For always grounding me when i was stressing out over some silly thing that didn’t amount to nothing. For showing your sympathy and support when my health failed. For all the little laughs that brightened my day. Thanks for hating any team playing the Dolphins on sundays and thanks for always remembering my birthdays. Thank you for taking me fishing with Shawn on the inlet bridges in Pompano. I wish you peace and comfort in arms of the angels in heaven. God watch over you until we meet again. Love you BaBa Lou……
Your sister Biz
Louis,
You have always been in my heart and my thoughts. I could never say a bad word about you. No words can describe how I am feeling. You did not deserve this untimely and horrific death. I am at a loss for words. I have always loved you,and wished things could have been different for our family. We sure did make two beautiful children and your memory will live on though them. You were a good man an honest man Louis, you were a jokester, and good with the one liners, you loved to party and loved working on cars, you loved the outdoors, you had lots of pride in your work,(installing carpet), the memories will never be forgotten.
R.I.P. now Louis the fight is over hope to see you again someday. Love Always Sue
Luis, I love you like a brother and appreciate your kindness and your selflessness, you will always have everyones heart ! you will definately be missed! Rest in Peace my friend, see you in the afterlife!
Louis,
We are beside ourselves, you were such a kind soul, always doing and caring for everyone, not a selfish bone in your body…We love you and will continue to hold you close to our hearts as you will be missed so much.
Until we meet again my brother, I know you have gained your wings and will keep watch over all of us….
Louis, what a dear guy. I moved away from Pompano 22 years ago, but I remember you when we were teenagers, and I remember the quiet, nice and gentle guy you were. These are qualities that live forever in our souls and will be alive and welcoming with our dear God. I’m blessed to have known you and been a part of your life. With my gratitude and admiration to you and your family. Love, Stefie
Louie, we love you!!
Louis was like a son-in-law to me. My oldest daughter, Aleatha Remme and him were soul-mates, partners, boyfriend and girlfriend for over eight years. It was such a tragic way for him to be taken away from us. We will miss him terribly and he will always remain in our hearts. We made so many good/excellent memories together. I remember one time that I even out fished him in the river, behind his home, on a warm sunny day…tee hee. He probably wouldn’t have wanted me to say that, but what fun we all use to have.
R.I.P. Louie and we will see you again!
Arlene & Family
Louis, we love you.
I remember when we first went to chuch together in 1985 and you eccepted the lord. So I know we will see each other again. This is not good by this is just see you soon.
UT & Amy
