Our most sincere condolences to all of the family. Uncle Louie was a really great guy and I will always remember the stories he told us when he worked at Stony Mountain Penitentiary. He enjoyed a long a wonderful life. Love Myles and Coline - Posted by: Myles Podaima (Nephew) on: Jan 27, 2014

Lou was part of a band in the 50's and 60's made up of several Podaima boys that sparked my brother Orest's and my interest in music, especially in the sound of the tenor saxophone. We admired that band and its members very much. - Posted by: Paul Pododworny (Friend of the family) on: Jan 26, 2014
