We regret to inform you that Uncle Louie (Terry Dullum, alum - Communications) has shed his mortal coil, leaving behind his beloved, 5th wife Lola (Leslie Lekatz), his son Junior (Tony Paradis), his daughter Doreen (U.G.), his sister Loretta (Lossino) Cannolli (Kathleen Coudle-King), and his many friends, family, and colleagues in the "Concrete" business. 

Please help send off Uncle Louie in style by attending his visitation, the reading of his will, followed by a celebration of his life on May 15 and 16 at 7:30 p.m. at the Empire Arts Center in downtown GF.  

While it is unusual to charge to attend a funeral, tickets for this one can be purchased online or by calling 701.746.5500 and asking for the fun-eral director. Should you wish to have a V.I.P. experience, it will be an additional $5. (What is a V.I.P. experience at a funeral? Pay for it and find out.) 

Libations and concessions will be available for purchase (Louie's not picking up the tab this time). There will also be a 50/50 raffle, with proceeds to benefit the Geriatric Parrots Sanctuary in Key West, FL (a pet philanthropy of Uncle Louie's). 

Louie's attorney of 35 years Donny Vertucci will be in attendance to read the will (Andrew Huovinen - Chemistry alum), as well as Father Shenanigans presiding over the service (Mark Diers - retired I.T.), along with Ashley Rystad (Louie's long-time companion), Jadeyn Frericks, Chris M. Stoner (UND alum - English), and Matthew Ternus (UND alum - Political Science) as part of Louie's extended circle. 

Dress: Funeral black or colorful Hawaiian. 

18+ due to language. (You know how the Lossino family can get!) 

Supported in part by the GF Comedy Collective
