8 years have come and gone , but today, Thanksgiving 2021 , I find out that you had passed .The memories of time shared at U of M , the laughter, the craziness , returned instantly . Memories while residents at JMH, much less so. Ironically , your memorial service was on my birthday . May we meet again in eternity .
I miss you, Louis...
My Dearest Louie, I am sooo deeply saddened, shocked, and grief stricken by your news. You had everything this world had to offer and you obtained it with your hard work and determination, always striving for more. Your kindness and generosity will never be forgotten by many, as you always gave a lending hand to those in need around you. You are a gentle, loving giant that will never be forgotten in my heart. You were gorgeous, charming, witty, clever, and extremely funny. My favorite was how you translated Spanish idioms into English, always cracked me up. I was fortunate enough to know you, love you, and share with you 4 years of my life. I will never forget our Jackson days and all the fun we had, those were magical times. Our first apartment on the lake in Gainsville that you hated but got for me, and the next apartment as we lived through the Gainsville murders together in town. I remember you loved the house in Thousand Oaks from the moment you saw it, the trees, the prairie, and your favorite, was the long driveway. And of course, my memory of Hurricane Andrew is synonynous with you, as we vacationed in Costa Rica and the saga of getting back. Though life together did not work out for us, I cherished remaining friends for many years after. Unfortunately, my life got busier with my children and we lost touch. Occasionally thinking about you, but not reaching out till now. I only wish I would of connected with you earlier and been able to be there for you. I will never forget your beautiful smile. Always loving you. May God give you the peace you so deserve with the Angels that are with you.

Louis or Luigi as I used to call him was my best friend in our residency together at the University of Miami. I have so many fond memories of those times. We used to call each other frequently and see each other occasionally but we lost touch over the past few years. Louis was one of the kindest persons I have ever known and one of the best doctors. I only found out today about his passing from the internet. I had been thinking about reconnecting with him over the past year. Unfortunately I won't have the opportunity now. I will play Funeral for a Friend, the Elton John song that he once mentioned he would have liked played at his funeral.
I am shocked and saddened by his passing. The world has lost one of the great souls. I miss you my friend. Till we meet again.
