To know London Lou is to know how much of a story teller he was, a true entertainer who was outgoing, loved animals and was a bit of a flirt.

    Joseph was our neighbor at Mariposa Apartment Homes in Joshua, Texas and a good friend .
    He was the “Star” at our Keraok Nights and got a standing ovation many times.
    He rarely missed our morning coffee time with several of the residents
