I’m a Mid City teacher whose life was enriched by Lo His smile made my day everyday! I always looked forward to seeing him and talking to him. When I broke my ankle , Lo would come down to the garage and get my wheelchair out of my car and take me to my classroom. After class this would be repeated. This definitely was not part of his job description He was a special human being ❤️ To his family, you will always carry his heart in your heart 💕. Love you my friend 💔. Cindy Keltner
One of my favorite memories with Mr. Lorenzo happened by chance, which makes it even more special. I was at the airport in San Diego getting ready to fly back to Nashville when I heard someone call my name. I remember thinking, “There’s no way anyone here knows me.” But when I turned around, it was him.
I was so happy to see him. He gave me the biggest hug, and I told him we had to take a picture so I could send it to Melinda. I’m really glad we did.
Every time I look at that picture, I think about his smile and his energy. He just had a way about him. He instantly made me feel like family from the moment I met him. That’s how I’ll always remember him.
