My first memories of Lou Serrano are from about 4th grade, when I recall him assisting with Mass, regular walking up to the altar as part of the contingent leading the service and holding a book high with great reverence. He also read the scripture and had a way of making it come alive.
Even at a young age, I knew he was giving the service the utmost dignity and respect, pulling out the all the stops at his end to serve the church community.
Service, and good and faithful servant, are but a few of the word that begin to describe Lou Serrano. I would not be surprised to see his picture in the dictionary after the definition of family man.
Also, I do not think it is possible to set the bar for an example of a great marriage any higher than Lou and Pat Serrano did. What a powerful and life-long inspiring example of the tremendous and sustaining power of love.
Lou Serrano was loving, tough, kind, tenacious, principled, honorable, wonderful and inspiring. I learned lessons, and more importantly saw examples from him, as a boy and as a middle-age man that I will always remember.
And you too are awesome Mrs. Serrano!
