Louis 'Lou' J Siano

Louis J. "Lou" Siano, aged 94, passed away on August 10, 2026, in Grove, Oklahoma. Born on May 11, 1932, in the Bronx, New York, Lou was a man of strong character, known for his outgoing personality and deep pride in his family and Italian heritage. Lou served honorably in the United States Marine Corps during the Korean War from 1950 to 1952. After his military service, he embarked on a distinguished career as a brick mason with Hickey Construction in New York, where he contributed to the construction of high rises and commercial buildings. Later, he moved to Florida and served as the Chief Building Officer for the City of Coral Springs until his retirement. Lou was Catholic in faith. He enjoyed socializing with people, which was evident in his active participation with the Coral Springs Chamber and Toastmasters, where he enjoyed connecting with others and honing his public speaking skills. Lou was a passionate sports fan, cheering on the Yankees and Giants, and he cherished his time at the beach, playing golf, swimming, and reading. Above all, Lou was a family man who adored his grandchildren and valued the time spent with his loved ones. He is survived by his childhood sweetheart and wife of 73 years, Marie (Cioffi) Siano, whom he met growing up on the same street in the Bronx. Their enduring love story is a testament to a lifetime of shared memories and unbreakable bonds. Together they had 3 sons, Joe Siano (wife, Lynne) Tony Siano and Lou Siano, Jr – all of Monkey Island, OK; Lou had one brother, Joseph “Gingi” Siano, Jr. (wife, Julie) of Bronx, New York; 2 granddaughters, Shelby Hernandez and Andrea Bryant and 2 great granddaughters, Reece Bryant and Cameran Bryant. Lou became an integral part of the Lee sister’s families (Lynne, Janet, Terri, Debby and Billie), as he became a father figure to all of them. Lou's legacy of warmth, dedication, and community involvement will be remembered by all who knew him. His life was a reflection of his values: family, service, and community. Visitation will be from 5-7pm Friday, August 14, and funeral services will be at 11am Saturday, August 15, 2026, both at Nichols-Stephens Funeral Service.
