Liz, Greg, Scott, and Russell and families-we were so sorry to hear of Louie's passing. It was because of Louie and Lois that my mom and dad met. Mom went to help with the twins.....and the rest is history. We're sorry we aren't able to make it, but have prior commitments that can't be changed. You're in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Hugs to all.

I was very sad when Daisy and I made our visit to Golden Years on Monday only to find Louis had passed. He was a very sweet, kind man who enjoyed loving on my Golden Retreiver. I loved his smile and his laugh:) He will be missed!
My prayers go out to the family!

When I was a child, Louis's mom was our housekeeper. After my mom died in 1965, Esther came to live with us 5 days a week to cook, clean, and take care of me and my dad. Although I never knew Louis very well, I feel like I have lost a family member. I wish I had known that he lived in Elkhart. It would have been nice to see him. His mom made a huge difference in my life when I needed it most. My sincere condolences to all who knew him.

I feel sure that many of us who worked with Louis at Grass Valley Group, and television broadcasters throughout the Midwest remember him as the classic gentleman, business leader, sales mentor and coach. His spirit and example inspired many sales professionals who continue to contribute in the broadcasting industry around the world.
