Remembering an AngelsWin.com Legend - Lou (IEBRUIN)

[T.G.]

I'm going to miss Lou. AW will never be the same for me. It just won't. He made this community better by being a part of it. His legacy will never fade. His legend will continue to grow.

Remember in 2020 when they played without fans in the stands? Sure, it was still baseball, but it just wasn't the same. 

That's what AW is like without @Lou. I will still read it and still enjoy many of your comments, but I will always feel like something major is missing. 

[T.G.]

Baseball has a way of turning grown men into little boys (for better or in many cases - worse). Lou was always the grown up in the room when the rest of us were acting like 5 year old boys.

[Tank]

Thank you for everything, Lou. Love ya, brother.

Very sorry to see this. Lou will be sorely missed here. 

You read my mind...

I didn't know Lou in any meaningful "real-life" way - but in his posts you could see he was witty without being cruel or curdled, and had a good sense of proportion - he seemed to enjoy the team and baseball when things were good, and didn't get angry when they weren't.  He enjoyed life, and he enjoyed coming here and sharing.  

What I'd call a "good dude", and we're always diminished when we lose one of those.

I'm struck by the testimonials and the effect he had on so many people here - the butterfly effect, where what he did and who he was ripples out far from him, to many people, and into the future.  A reminder that what we say, what we do, large and small, good or bad, it all lives on after us.  

I hope I'm remembered the way Lou is.

Rest In Peace, brother.

This is why @Lou is so beloved here, he is the cream(y) of the crop.

This is normally where I respond with the "get out" gif, but since this about @Lou..

I agree.

[Inside Pitch]

Bye Lou.  Thank you for having made this place better.

[Jay]

Sad news indeed. RIP.

R.I.P. Lou

His humor, integrity, and love of life made this a better place.

Goodbye, Lou. Thank you for all the fun and humor over the years. May you rest peacefully in the Field of Dreams.

[ettin]

Rest In Peace Lou, you made life and Angels baseball so much better for the rest of us, love you brother.

Deepest condolences to his family, loved ones, and friends.

You will be missed greatly Lou. I never met you and yet I felt like you were definitely part of my life for the last 20 plus years through the different message boards. Always looked forward to your posts no matter what forum or topic. AW will never forget you.

[HaloNArizona]

Lou...you will be missed...so sorry to hear this news.

RIP Lou

[cez]

Really hurts even though I've only ever known him online, but we're talking 20 years.  All my best wishes to his family.  All the love on here shows what an indelible impact he had on so many.

Every time I try to post something in this thread it starts raining on my keyboard.

UCLA's logo has a small banner that says, "Let there be light". I'm certain Lou knows this.

Well, Lou, enjoy that light... of understanding, of peace, of enlightenment.

You made this a better place. Rest in Peace, Lou.

This was perfectly said.

Was just thinking the other day that we need "a Lou" to go back and bump all of Lou's greatest hits.

@Lou, I know you didn’t live in the Bixby Knolls area (I know where you lived, buddy) but the wife and I happened to be in Long Beach and this place reminded me of @Blargand the old school posters who always had an inside joke of Long Beach and Bixby Knolls.

Anyway, Cheers my brother.  And to my LB buddies, Joe Josts loves you.

Love you @Lou

Haven’t been around much but I am sure there was no one else like Lou on this board.
