My brother Lou:

Sadly my brother Lewis...who liked to be called Lou passed away suddenly on Saturday the 4th February. His funeral took place on the 14th which as you can imagine was a very difficult day for all of us.

Lou was very special to all of his family for many reasons, in particular he had many kind and caring ways that he demonstrated to many, including elderly neighbours. He loved, and worried about all of us:.... my parents my sister and myself as well as our spouses, our children and our children's children.

He was very popular especially when he was growing up. He loved sport and was talented at various sports. Amongst other achievements he won The Yorkshire schoolboy championship for boxing on more than one occasion until girls became part of his life.

Lou was very popular with the girls they kept him and his friends very busy as did his passion for Manchester United football team, he was definatly one of the lads.

He later married a lovely girl called Denise whilst he was quite young, they bought a house together, however after a few years unfortunately the marriage ended in divorce.

Anyone who knew Lou know that he had a sense of humour all of his own.

Lou faced several challenges during his lifetime especially towards the end.....

I wanted to write more about Lou and what I loved about Lou, how we all loved him and how special he was and how he's missed so very much. But I am finding it too difficult at this moment . I hope you can see from the photo's how special and lovely he was.
