Family and friends mourn the loss of Lou Cherry, 83, a former resident of Calais, Vt., who died on April 4, 2021, of pancreatic cancer in Asheville, N.C. Born in 1937 in New York City to Hungarian immigrants, Lou treasured his heritage, particularly its culinary traditions. Along with his service in the National Guard as a cook, he also relished cooking vast quantities of paprikash and goulash for his family and friends. While a student at Earlham College, Lou studied in Mexico and became fluent in Spanish. He earned his master’s from Rutgers University and had a long career as a social worker at Pilgrim Psychiatric Center on Long Island, New York. Lou was also an assistant professor at Stony Brook’s School of Social Welfare.

Uriel Calvo, dairy worker and Migrant Justice member: “Farmworkers have worked through the pandemic, keeping Vermont’s dairy industry alive. But too many of us are making poverty wages, working seven days a week without rest, and living in inhumane conditions. Companies like Hannaford get rich selling dairy products, but the cows don’t milk themselves. Hannaford needs to join Milk with Dignity to protect our human rights.”
