Louis "Louie" Skeens

Never, ever, ever did I imagine myself putting together a go fund me page, but I know my dear friend deserve a wonderful send off, as we all do! He and his family are proud people, of modest means and would not ask themselves. Louie is bigger than life and I know he is loved by so many and has been a part of so many of your lives and memories of growing up and adventures and mischief. I would like to honor his life and in doing so alleviating the burden during this already trying time for his family so they can focus on supporting each other not having the ridiculous task and burden of wondering how they're going to pay for all of this. Louie got his wish to come to Cleveland to see me and his beloved, Sophie, but as he transitions to his eternal resting place and joins his mother and twin brother, David as well as his brother's Tommy and Doug and sister Rosemary help me to help his family carry one less burden than they've already had to do so many times already.  This will help Louie get back to his family and friends who love him, dearly. If your a friend of mine I don't need to tell you how important this is to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
