R.I.P. Lou - Lou's New York Shark Bar

[Seamonkey]

Many North Coasters will remember Lou from Lou's New York Shark Bar on Pedro Clisante in Sosua. After being open for several years, it closed in 2011. Lou stayed in the DR for years after. He passed away on April 9 in New York. He will be remembered as a great guy who loved talking and always smiling. His "How are you baby?" will live on forever.

Lou was a Sosua legend. He started with a bar on the beach and then moved onto Pedro Clisante. Was a fixture for so many years. Always a great host and a great guy.

RIP Lou.

Met him in Spring of 2012.
Would see him in and out of Sosua back in 2013. He gave me some good advice when it came to living in the DR.
Stand up guy.
RIP.
