Louis and I met in 2016 and my life has never been the same. He was my resident, but quickly became my friend. I loved hearing his stories and having him give my life lessons. I loved to make him smile even more. I’d make jokes and tease him and his smile and laugh brought me such joy. We talked every day, even when I was on vacations he’d call me. Luigi became another grandfather to me, he even had to approve my boyfriend, now fiancé. He always told me he wanted to sing at my wedding and I wish he could. I was honored when he asked me to accompany him on his Honor Flight and that experience is one I cherish dearly. I remember every minute of that long day, but my favorite was watching him walk back to his room holding Roma’s hand. They were the epitome of a loving marriage that could stand the test of time. I know their together again, and that’s a true blessing. I love you Luigi, and you are always in my heart.
Luigi was my weekly resident that I would visit on behalf of Interfaithworks Senior Services, One to One program. We started off meeting to go over how to use his new iPad. He was very good with technology. We became fast friends and then the pandemic started and our visits stopped. We continued to speak on the phone regularly. After a couple months he asked me if the next time he would see me would be in heaven. I answered absolutely not. Then Interfaithworks organized a car parade so we could safely let him and others living at the Nottingham know that we were still there for them. From my car window we got to see each other for just a moment. It was the best and brought me to tears in a good way. After that visits opened up again, we continued our friendship for several years, seeing his milestone birthdays of turning 100 and 101. Over that time we shared many great conversations, music and laughter. I will always cherish these wonderful memories.

I'm So Very Sorry For Everyone's Loss He Was A Wonderful Guy Louie Will Truly Be Missed My Condolences Go Out To The Family Love You All ❤️🙏
Heartbroken to learn of Louie's passing! He was the self-proclaimed "Mayor of The Nottingham," and I missed him so much when he moved out. My oldest daughter, Audrey, loved him, and sat right beside him during Roma's calling hours. Wish we still lived in NY so she could sit by him again for his own. Louie was such a wonderful husband and cared for Roma in the sweetest, most romantic way. One of my favorite memories was when he'd wheel Roma's bag in his rollator and stop by my exercise class to make fun of the balance moves. We'd tease him back, "Oh that's rich for a man with a purse!" I have several Louie quotes that I wrote down over the years and snicker every time I come across them. God bless you all in this time of grief. We have lost a special man!
💜A beautiful life well lived -our father & papa never new a stranger 💜
I am very sorry to the family of Louis Iauco for your great loss. He has left a beautiful legacy in his family. May God give him rest now from his labors on earth and may he be remembered always with great affection. Prayers for all of his family.
