Just reading of Louie’s passing. We enjoyed eating at the Cozy Corner over the years and always looked forward to chats and laughs with Louie. It won’t be the same without him. He will be missed!

Donna and Alf Dinaut

Sincere condolences to Louis' family.

Louis always had time for a chat whenever we went to the Cozy Corner even at his busiest times.

He had a great personality and will be greatly missed.

Lloyd & Estelle Campbell

,

Sincere condolences to Louis' family. Their loss is profound. We were in the restaurant this week and felt like the heart of the business was gone. Louis was very generous in offering whatever I would want for any of my projects. In later years, he could often be seen chatting to everyone as he did his walk-abouts.

After many years of giving to family and the community may he now enjoy the rewards of eternal life.

Kelvin & Anne Digout

To Loretta and family,

Dear Loretta,

It is hard to find words to express such a loss to you. Louie was your soulmate, the love of your life. May your memories comfort you in the days ahead. Please accept my sincere condolences.

Dear Kevin, Lynn and family

Sending heartfelt sympathy for your loss. Louie will always be remembered for his sense of humour, kindness and dedication to the community. A life while lived. Rest in peace, Louie

Sending our deepest condolences to all of the Boudreau family and extended family. Louie has been in part of our lives forever, but it all really started when Derek & I were married (35 years ago), and Louie catered to the wedding. He was funny, smart and everyone loved him. Our kids used to call him Uncle Lou-lee. That started when our oldest was just old enough to talk and anytime we speak of him we say "Uncle Lou-lee".

May he rest in peace, and I know he had a HUGE welcoming once he crossed over.

Once again, please accept our condolences.

Charlene & Derek Bowden - (and Family)

So sorry for your loss. Your dad was always so nice to the RCMP officers needing a meal break. He will forever be remembered for his kindness and smile.

Deepak Prasad, RCMP

Our deepest condolences to Louie’s Family and Friends. He was truly one of a kind and will be missed dearly. Rest easy Buddy.

Jim & Carleen Candelora

Louis was a character. Always a story. Always a cackle. Always good to us no matter if we hired him to cater something or dropped by one of his many locations for food. He was the life of the party even if it wasn't his party and he was working it! He will be missed. Condolences from Billy, Natalie and Michael Bona

To the family and friends of the funniest, kindest, sweetest man, I send my deepest condolences. He was a very special person, and if you were eating at the Cozy Corner, you could be sure he'd stop by your table and share a joke, a hug, or just to chat. It won't be the same without him. Rest in peace my friend.

Spent much of my childhood at the Cozy Corner and continued my annual visits when I returned home for vacation. Uncle Louie was the best; always welcoming; always concerned about others more so than himself. The legacy of a man is with the memory they leave behind. Rest in peace Uncle Louie… he’s one of few people we always considered an Uncle more than a cousin. Love you.

He will be missed by many people but his legacy will live on through his children and grandchildren and the wonderful business that he built over the years with his loved ones may he rest in peace may his family find solace and love in the wonderful memories that they will continue to share until they're reunited love prayers and blessings to you all

Loretta, Kevin, Lynn & All the family:

We were so saddened to hear of cousin Louis passing.we send you anll our thoughts & prayers in the days to come. Upon visiting him a few times this summer at the hospital, we prayed for a miracle to happen & that he would get better. We know he was suffering & believe he was not happy being so sick & not able to do his job running the COZY CORNER! I heard he was asking for the potatoes & carrots to peel for catering. His mind & heart was always there.

Louis was very well known, loved & appreciated by so many people he made friends with along the way.

You surely have earned your wings dear cousin. I’m sure Lisa, Aunt Mary, Uncle Raymond, Clothilde & Aunt Shirley were there waiting to take your hand. We will miss you dearly when going to the restaurant.

Fly high with the angels Cuz.

Love: Peter & Linda

Buddy & Germaine MacDonald

Many many times Louie and I would talk and insult each other jokingly, yet if someone saw us and didn't know we knew each other the look on their face was to us hilarious.ill miss this man and the way he understood everyone differently.Now he's with his daughter and family in a place hopefully we can all enter as we leave this world.Louie was so fortunate to have with him by his side his loving family who meant so much to him, and prepared him in his last days for this beautiful trip he was going on.RIP my friend ,save a place for us at the table.

Thanks for the laughs!

We were so sorry to hear about Louie’s passing. He was one of those people that would talk to you no matter where he saw you and you always left with a smile on your face. Many of our communities will miss his presence and kindness.

Lois & Bertram Madden

My deepest sympathy to all Louis family and friends. My thoughts are with you all at this difficult time. He was a true gentleman.

Jack Ross

Loretta, Kevin, Lynn & all the families:

Our hearts are broken hearing of Louis passing. When’d you all ou love, thoughts & prayers.

When we visited him in Sydney hospital, he still had his big smile & smart remarks.

Louis has touched so many hearts throughout Cape Breton & parts of Nova Scotia. His food melted in your mouth, his kindness was above & beyond special, he cherished everyone he met, stranger or not. Louis had a heart of gold & loved his family & friends no matter what.

Dearest cousin, seeing the suffering you went through from May until your passing was very hard to see.

I’m so happy I got to spend some time with you while home on vacation.

We will miss you very much, but knowing you are no longer suffering gives us comfort.

You have made such a mark on this earth, I’m sure you will do the same in heaven.

Rest peacefully in Gods loving arms.

Love: Peter & Linda Samson, Acton Ontario

Give our love to all the family gone before you. I’m sure Lisa, Aunt Mary & Uncle Raymond, Clothilde, Aunt Shirley & everyone else welcomed you home in heaven.

Our visits to the Cozy Corner Restaurant will never be the same. I’m sure Vanessa & Kevin will keep your legacy going.

R.I.P. CUZ.

We are very sorry for your loss. It was always a pleasure to have his good food and good company.

Bert and Maurina Lewis

Louie was an icon. No matter where you moved to, when you come home you go to louies restaurant. He has the best food and most amazing fries and gravy. Best part of going g to st. Peter's high school was being near the restaurant.

Rest in peace Louie. You were such a kind soul.

As I’m reading this I’m going over all the wonderful memories of Louie that I have.

What stands out the most for me is that Louie never forgot who you were. Years could pass without seeing him and the minute you saw him it was like no time had passed.

No matter where or when you saw him he always greeted you with a smile and a hug. Louie gave the best hugs.

My condolence to Loretta, all his family and friends. The community lost a true pillar ❤️

Lena and Brenda Gerrior

No matter were we met, a hug was always the result. There are so many beautiful memories but the best was when my sisters and mom and myself had a dinner at his restaurant, he always came and sat with us...I can still hear his laughter as we shared stories...a memory we will always have. You will be missed sweet Louie. Rest with the angels until we meet again.

My sincere condolences to Louie’s wife and Family and close friends.

Three things that come to mind when I think of Louie are: loving, kind and that mouth lol I think it was worst than mine. But you were one of the best. Two of the last times I saw you I was giving you a shoulder massage at the restaurant to, well, in the hospital where you were pretending to be asleep and when I went to wake you, I got a mouthful. Ahahaha. I loved you as everyone that knew you.

Rest in peace my friend.

Gloria

My condolences to Loretta and famliy on Louie's passing. He was one of the most special people in the community of L'Ardoise as well as many others on Cape Breton Island. I will always remember seeing him at Christmas events hosted by Ricky and Michelle. He was a joy to chat with and always had a laugh or two to share. May he Rest In Peace. Darlene Raney

Sincere condolences to Loretta and all of his family. He had a heart of gold and a friend to so many. He will be missed by all who knew him.
