My condolences; I suspected it was not the Dodgers manager but I would expect a lot of
people clicking on this thread out of curiosity (certainly the board it's placed on would
be a bit of a giveaway that it isn't the ballplayer/manager, but...)

I worked with Lou a couple of times back in the '80s. Most people just called him "Torre" (Torry).

Worked with Lou at the River years ago. Always liked him...admired him for his music knowledge...loved him for keeping the studio clean...ADORED him for his off-beat sense of humor. Was saddened and scocked to hear of his passing. Anyone ever find out why?
