Uncle Lou, you were my great great uncle. None the less someone that I looked up to! You and Aunt Marian were such an amazing and Godly couple! I can only dream to have a marriage like yours! You spent your last days surrounded by your loved ones, and you are finally with your Heavenly Father!! I know you are always watching over us! We love you and miss you already! You'll forever be remembered as a strong-willed man who went after and achieved his goals!! ? Aunt Marian, the kids, grandkids, and sweet little great grandsons will be in my prayers!

You will be missed, Uncle Louie ... one of my favorite memories was when you married Aunt Marian in Aunt Marie & Uncle Vernon's back yard.
