When I got hired at ESP Lou was one of the first people I meet. I instantly liked him. I'd often talk to him about work and family. He was a good guy and it always made my day when I would run into him at VA. He will missed sorely. My prayers to his wife, children and loved ones.

Lou Flores is one of the finest men I ever worked with in my life. He was a kind, gentle man and fervent seeker of excellence in all he ever did. A man is not a success on his own merit but rather by the merits of those he employs, Lou worked daily to serve soldiers and make others successful and for that I am thankful. He is now in that place where old soldiers meet in the last day and I am proud to know we will meet again.--Congrats on a live well lived Lou.--Michael Womer
