One of the Greats Has Passed - Lou Alessi

[Twosons]

Holster maker, Lou Alessi has passed away.

He was kind, gracious and a true gentleman. He helped so many of us out with advice, great holsters and general friendship. I will truly miss him.

RIP Lou!

He helped me with a few holster questions long ago, and I met him a couple of times at SHOT... Always a gentleman and great mentor... He will be missed...

Now we're missing some stitches. Primary Stitches!

Sorry to hear that. Condolence to all his friends and family.

I heard the news. I'm saddened by his passing. Never got a chance to converse with him but I read his info quite a bit. I was glad to hear him in good spirits this most recent time in the hospital and his return home. He made a crack about making leather thongs for the nurses I'm sure Lou was a delight to know in person.

Be well and take care, Lou.

Condolences to his family.

Very sad news indeed. Western New York has lost a great artist and craftsman. He will be missed here as he was quite well known in our gun circles.
