In Loving Memory
I am sorry for your loss. Lewie was a wonderful person who always was happy and joyful. He always made me laugh. The last time I saw him was at my Aunt Jennie's funeral. He will be missed

I had the previlge to live next door to Lewie all my life until I was 20 years old when I married. I remember many times he took me and my brother into his home and shown me his nicknacks and sad on the back porch drinking cokes and chit chat. I also remember the times he got after us for throwing our balls into his garden :). He will be sorelely missed. Prayers to Shirely and the rest of the family. May God give you peace in your time of need.

May all of you, always, enjoy the many great memories of and from "Louis," or "Lewis," as was his school roll call ident that never varied (Tooele Central, Tooele Jr. High, and Tooele High), his hair always combed straight back (the prevailing look of the generation), always the respectful, friendly student and, later years, the ever-decent man as were all the Pannunzio boys (men) whom I knew over the majority of the 20th Century. His shop was a credit to the community; he knew well his trade; he worked hard and business-like. We (he, me) were proud as Class 4T1 (always spoken, "Class of '41, THS.), now deeply dwindled ever fewer. Salute to him, and all his kin.

Scott and GregI was saddened to hear about the paissng of Keith. I have fond memories of him and I doing things together when I was younger. He was always willing to help Grandma Schmitt when she needed something done. Before I went into the military we sat and talked about the Army and the Air Force, through these talks he helped me on my life��?™s path. I will always be grateful for his help. We just want to say, ��??May God bless you and keep you strong and safe.��?? We hope the reunion with Keith and Kent will be a joyous one. Uncle John John, Jackie, Jason, Jesse Schmitt and families.

Dorothy was a neat woman! I visited her searevl times while I studied at BYU. She was so kind. She taught me how to play Dominoes and got me hooked on Shirley Temple movies. And I loved her wholesome nutritious and delicious food! When she spoke about her husband you could tell she missed him-now she can be with him again. All my love, Sophia Lindley Little Sophia
