Auxiliary Sgt. Louis “Lou” Livatino had volunteered with the department for almost 10 years.
Sheriff Mike Williams called him an amazing man who served the community for free. Sgt. Livatino volunteered his time on the Jacksonville Sheriff s Office Honor Guard and countless assignments assisting patrol functions, most times working as much if not more than full-time police officers, Williams said. A friend to all and he will be missed by all.
Remembrances for the late 71-year-old sergeant were posted by the Fraternal Order of Police and others, including former Sheriff s Office spokeswoman Melissa Bujeda. If you knew Lou, you loved Lou, Bujeda said. I will miss his kind soul and never-ending smile so much.
