He was a huge racist.
But I loved him soooo much. He loved me dearly.

Once he called Obama the “word” and I took off. I read him the riot act. I was f
flipped out. I think he was 89 at the time.
Later at home I felt so horrible. Lou was 89. How much longer would I have that love part? I decided the love part was way
Worth the Fux part.

I called him. Apologized. Said I had no right to disrespect him like that and asked him to forgive me. We decided not to speak about Obama. Lou was never going to change and of course, neither would I.
He lived to 93. We avoided politics.
RIP Lou.
