A family statement reads: "Lou was an avid bowler and he used to love racing cars with Speck Sherwood in his youth. He loved small children more than anything. His face would light up whenever he saw a young child. Lou was a big baseball and football fan, rooting on and yelling at the Mets and Giants. Some of Eli' Manning's throws would really tick him off." He will be missed greatly. Lou came from a big Italian family with his brothers: Charlie, Mike and Jack; and sisters: Angie, Jennie, Rosie, Connie and Mary. Louis is survived by his loving wife: Edith L. (Smith) Graziano; his sons: Louis J. Graziano, Jr. and David A.
