Lou, my parents' 95-year old former neighbor, debuted his play, aptly titled: It's Never Too Late.
During the pandemic, Lou set his mind to writing this musical. His son, Joe, is a famous Broadway playwright. Lou had a story in his mind loosely based on his past, embellished with a story he felt he wanted to share.

Lou passed away after seeing the dress rehearsal, and writing the cast a lovely email, but before opening night. He saw the fulfillment of a dream and died happy. His life is an inspiration, and reminder for the rest of us to keep chasing our dreams. After all, "it's never too late."
PS: I was recently reminded that Jonathan Larson, creator of Tick Tick Boom and Rent also died just before the opening of play. Sadly Jonathan was only 35 years old.
