I would like to offer my sincere condolences for your loss. The Bible offers us comfort for times such as these. At Acts 24:15, it says, " There is going to be a resurrection." The Bible also gives us this hope for the future at Revelation 21:4, "And he will wipe out every tear from our eyes and death will be no more." I hope these words have brought you comfort. If you would like to have more information, please feel free to visit our Bible-based website at www.jw.org.
Sincerely,
Morgan Rife

To the Family and Friends of Lou Tabor Jr. My wife, Mary Sue and I would like to offer our fullest thoughts, condolences and love to all of you and especially to Lou.
I first met Lou in 1969 as Teammates and Freshman at Wichita State University. He was one of the nicest guys I've known, a great player and he was also so full of humor, I would begin to just chuckle almost anytime I saw him on campus!
As an Offensive Lineman, with Lou on Defense, I would have the occasion to block him at "full speed" (as they say) in scrimmages. While we were friends, we both knew that these were the times we had to perform to the best of our abilities to reach the top of the Team Position Charts to be considered "Starters" in each game. Whenever my blocking assignment called for blocking Lou, I knew I was going to be in for a hard hit which I was determined to provide as well, and first.
The part I remember most, however, was just before we would collide, I would see his big smile through his face-mask. That smile didn't lessen the hit he gave, but confirmed our friendship and respect for each other as athletes and men, as did the effort we would both make to help each other back up when the play was over, giving each other that "Pat on the Back" or a simple word of encouragement.
As you know, as players, our college experience wasn't what we had expected it would be because of the Accident in 1970. But a valuable and lasting part of that experience was the closeness that developed among the remainder of the team (including Lou and I) as a result of our collective losses. As such, we try to communicate with each other through our Team Web site even if it's just to wish each other a Happy Birthday. Additionally, I and many others who still live in, or near enough to Wichita to drive in for the Annual Memorial Services, try to make it back to Wichita each year to remember and rededicate our lives to those team members and friends we lost that day.
I was so glad I had been able to make the trip on one particular day, because I was there when Lou made an unexpected return trip to Wichita. Because of the long distance for many of the players who came from the East like Lou, we never expected to see them make the trip to the Memorial Service that often. On that day (it might have been the 30th Annual Memorial Service in 2000, when the University made a big push to try to get everyone to come back), just as the Service was readying to begin, a tall black man with graying temples came slowly walking up, and at first, many of us didn't recognize who it was, but as we watched we all started to recognize that smile and that walk. You can add some weight and age lines to the graying hair and cause confusion, but you can't change the smile and the walk of "Big Lou" Tabor! From what I heard, I believe it was a surprise to everyone there, but truly a wonderful and well received surprise for all of his teammates present. After the service, Lou made the rounds and spoke to each and every player there, even some of the younger players whose names aren't recalled easily these days, who came along after the crash, but understood the impact it had on everyone and began attending out of respect. As I stood on the opposite side of the Memorial waiting my turn to greet Lou, I watched him with that big Grin and Smile going man to man with handshakes and his signature, strong but gentle Hugs. I don't know if he made it back any other time over the years, but I know everyone there that day was so glad to get to see him. For me, I can still close my eyes and see him walking up that day, to the Memorial; or see him extending his hand down to help me up when I may have "let him" win a particular "One on One," instance with me; or see him from the sideline when it looked like our opponent was going to break away and make a big run, then "Big Lou" would rise up out of the masses and haul the ball carrier down! And let me tell you, once he had you... he had you!
I guess my only regret was not being around at the time of this medical procedure so I could help him up one more time! But I believe that our Father has a plan for all of us, and like our teammates in 1970, Lou had finished God's work here and it was time for him to go on to his next life. And I am sure he will be there waiting for the time all of you join him, and he'll be smiling and waiting to give each of you a Big Lou Tabor Hug! Please look forward to the day that the pain of Lou's passing is gone and all you have then are the warm, loving and funny memories of Louie, that you will have forever and be glad! You got to spend quality time with a really special person that not everyone gets to experience.
May God Bless and Watch Over All of You!

I am terribly sorry to hear about Lou's passing. Like so many others have shared he gave amazing hugs and was one of the most caring people I've had the pleasure of meeting in the rooms. When he shared during meetings he didn't say many words, but the words he did say were always concise and I always got something positive out of it. He will be deeply missed!

Lou was our "across the hall" neighbor in Niles for 6 years at Timber Creek, and he was one of the best people in the entire world. He was always so pleasant, kind and his hugs were so fantastic. We always loved to chat with him when we saw him, and I never saw anyone so happy to get baked goods! :)
My husband Gary has known his family for quite a while, and losing this sweet-hearted man is most assuredly a terrible loss for not only his family but the world. We will miss you, Lou. But we will always, ALWAYS keep you in our hearts and thoughts. You were the best neighbor in the world, but now you're the best neighbor in heaven! We love you Lou, and we will miss you so much!
