Louie
will be missed. It's great that you actually got to work for/with him.
Most of us also knew Louie as the author of "
Modern Reading Text in 4x4". In our school, Louie's book is the main textbook at the drum room.
(Despite its title, there is no "text" in the book, just a single note (E) repeated in just about every possible rhythmic combination in a 4x4 measure).
Rest in Peace, Louie,
