We are born to do what we must complete
And while I know we are only mortal
Because of your strength, you never accepted defeat
And now pass you through bright light portal
I think of you, and your passion
Generous to a fault, with all that you had
To those around you, you gave inspiration
To leave behind memories of a life of despair and just being sad
Like the athlete, you ran the race
Kept your values, faster and faster
Upped the pace
Never looking back, of your life you were the master
Well LOU I am writing this to say hi once again,
Hey big guy even though you went on to the high
I want to say I'm glad I knew you, and your big grin
From where we came to where we are we did it our way,
and that's no lie
