That's Rhonda, Louie's wife. High school sweetheart. About five years ago, I was covering a night shift and he came in feeling talkative. Born and raised in Pittsburgh. Lifelong Steelers fan. Groundskeeper at Three Rivers Stadium until 1998. He never really wanted kids. But Rhonda wore him down, and when she finally got pregnant, he changed his tune, he got excited. And then, about a month before the baby was due, Rhonda and the baby were killed in a car crash. Louie never really came back from that. May his memory be a blessing.
