Remembering an AngelsWin.com Legend - Lou (IEBRUIN)

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

Thanks for the update but f*ck this news.  I hope Lou is as comfortable as can be and is surrounded by his loved ones.

[Chuck]

@mrwicked is on the way to see @Lou. 

I asked him to give him a hug for us. 

[Biergott]

Need a mod to Pin this thread.  If any thread deserves it, it’s the tribute to our favorite poster

[Justin]

@Lou, over the last 14 years you have made me laugh more than everyone else. 

Combined. 

We will see another 10 Mike Trouts before we see another Ohtani and we will see a million new AW members before we see another @Lou.

@Lou I sure wish I had another chance to buy you the beer(s) I still owe you. 

I will drink to you now, and hope for some peace for you and your family.

Cheers

@Louas I said to you the other day, you are one of the best people on this board, my friend.  Your knowledge of college football, everything UCLA, betting, and especially Angels baseball is second to none.  It’s such an honor to call you a friend, Adriane and I send our love and prayers, and be strong brother.

[T.G.]

I've already posted once in this thread, but I will probably continue to post every time I have another thought about Lou...

No one has made me LOL on this site more than Lou. I remember a particular post of his... it was in a game thread and the Angels lost a big lead and he appeared out of no where and simply posted... "What did you guys do?"  It was classic Lou and it was perfect. Others have tried to replicate that, but he was the original. He made it work.

There were countless times when I went to post a thought and Lou had beat me to it and posted the same thing I wanted to. 

His posts told me that he had his priorities straight. That's for sure.

And no one could get more out of a post with one word than Lou.  If Lou called you a "dumbass" I hope wore that badge with honor.

Awful news! @Lou it has been a pleasure.  Prayers to you and your family through all of this.

[Torridd]

May God give you strength and courage, Lou. The next journey is a beautiful one. I pray that solace be given to all his loved ones. 

[St1ck]

Damn. I know he had mentioned a few times on here before he had health issues but never said what it was. This is terrible news. 

You're a good man @Lou. Fuck cancer.

[Docwaukee]

Nothing else to say but this fucking sucks.  

I love you @Lou

Godspeed brother.  

[Duren, Duren]

Any forum is only as good as the people who contribute. Especially the dedicated 'regulars' who endure through good and bad times. I've learned a lot from Lou about  Angel history and respect his observations. 

Tough break. Sorry for this turn. I and my family have been through some serious medical crises too in the last few years. Very draining emotionally.  If possible try and get to serene state of mind and realize that there is a bigger reality, and that we all have our parts in the unfolding of some inscrutable plan. There is a 'peace that passeth understanding' to use a traditional phrase. 

[Swordsman78]

Very sad news.  Hugs to Lou and his family.  Cancer sucks.

Sonovabitch. @Lou messaged me a while back to tell me and I didn't see it until now.

This is an absolute gut punch. 

Lou is by far and away one of my favorite people on here. He reached out to me several times when things were bad on my end. He's an absolute good guy.

Maybe not everyone is an fan, but his wit and sense of humor were top notch. 

Lou, if you're seeing this, you hang tough brother. We love you. All us idiots are pulling for you, my friend.

[ten ocho recon scout]

The "I agrees" are about as much of a staple on this board as anything ever.

And the "I'm a maybe" posts.

[Angels in 2030]

I've been reading Lou's posts across different team boards for a few decades now going back to the old scout days.  Always a stand up guy.  Prayers to you & your family.  Wish you well however it all ends up....keep it up in the afterlife.  cheers

This hit. Perfectly said.

@Lou 

Love, Thanks and Prayer your way.

Thank you for your quick wit (UCLA, Hoffstra, etc.)

Thank you for your interesting viewing suggestions, especially Endeavor. 

Thank you for making this community a brighter place.

@Lou has been a steady presence on this board and I am so, so sorry to hear about this terrible turn of events. Extremely sad to hear this, and I hope he is able to pull out. My thoughts are with him and his family.

[stormngt]

My prayers are with you Lou.  Sharing posts about baseball as well as conversations about sports in general was a real pleasure.

Sorry to hear the news, Lou.  I always appreciated your timely wit and feedback.  Wishing you the best. 

Your #1 Dumbass fan.

My obligatory statement whenever I hear of someone I know or interact with has been diagnosed: Fuck cancer!

 

I’ve said that since my dad went through (and luckily survived) his fight.

 

I am not a religious man (in fact, I have a severe dislike of organized religion), but I wish Lou all the best and hope he has as little suffering as possible. And I know what hospice care usually means…Godspeed, @Lou!

Lou, I’ve enjoyed your posts. No matter your condition, your spirit lives on. Wishing you the best. 

[Revad]

Lou- you’ve impacted many folks here, you’re loved and respected.  You are my leader in LOLs, thanks for making me laugh.

[Stradling]

I really don’t have the words right now to express how awful this is.  @Lou is  easily my favorite poster on here when it comes to wit and simplicity with his posts.  When he quotes your post, you almost knew for certain that he disagreed with it and you were about to feel stupid. I fucking hate this so much.  When I have more time to process this turn for the worse I will try to contribute more to this thread. Love you @Lou.
