Never met the man but watched him race many times. Never heard an ill word about him either.

RIP Sir.

After doing an overnight going through all my galleries one by one for the last 17 years searching out all the images I could find related to Louis "The Rigger" I put a tribute Gallery together for people to check out and for the family to use whatever they need for his services.
Godspeed Louis, you will not be forgotten ... https://www.timsharkey.com/blog/2022...s-giancontieri

Nicest guy you will ever meet.

I first met him in person at a race in Algonac.... First race I ever went to to do rescue. He was "So your phragle, come one we are going to dinner" he wouldnt let me buy anything all night He always had a smile on his face and a gleam in his eye.,
