Lou Giambra was one of the most enthusiastic people in life that I have ever met. I knew him from the Vincent Lombardi Lodge of Rochester, OSIA, when he was the lodge president and I a state officer. Throughout all the years, he and his beloved late wife Jean were at so many events and so very supportive of charitable and good works. When I climbed the ladder to state president and then national president, Lou was always there with a card and a note, and a great memory for the past. My personal happiness was when he was recommended and selected to receive the NYSOSIA's highest award, the Bene Emeritous. he so well deserved it and was a wonderful representative of the upstate lodges of the NYSOSIA. May he rest in peace, knowing he did good throughout his life!
