Due to current COVID-19 restrictions for funerals (100 participants only), only family and close friends are invited to attend the Funeral Mass and burial at the cemetery. The family apologises for the impact of this arrangement. Under other circumstances, they would have loved to have had as many as could come. Therefore an online invitation is extended to anyone wishing to be a part of the celebration of Lou’s life and his family would like to thank everyone for their well wishes and thoughts during this time.
