July 8th 2020
To all of Lou's family and friends,
It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that Susan and I share our memories of Lou.
Lou started with our company 21 years ago today on July 8th 1999 as a night time sweeper driver. He always performed his work in a professional manner, he never, ever left a site that required a callback or complaint.
When our company was asked to power wash sidewalks at shopping centers, Lou stepped forward and would add this task on top of his regular duties, always with a smile.
When Lou’s mom needed additional attention at night, Lou moved to daytime portering and odd job tasks so he would be available, if needed by his family.
Lou was well liked by his co-workers and could be found training and mentoring new team members on many, many occasions.
During the summer of 2019, in the midst a labor shortage, Lou was asked to fill in as a landscape crew leader, Lou agreed without any hesitation. And, again in 2020, Lou stepped up in the same role, with that great big smile.
On a personal side, Lou made sure my mother, Dorothy Dare was well taken care of. The lawn was always mowed, trashed taken out and branches removed, always with that great big smile. Dorothy sends her love, thanks and condolences to everyone.
Lastly, Lou made sure to stop in at my desk on occasion, to say hello, see how I was doing and share some insight on how HE felt the company was doing, good and bad. I will surely miss him.
Rest in peace our friend,
Doug and Susan Dare
