Louis Appell Jr.

Rest in peace my friend!

I just recently learned of the passing of this beautiful man. Louis served on the Board of GPU when my husband was chair. We had many good times with Louis and Jody and always kept in touch. I was delighted to be invited to spend some time with them last year at their beautiful home. It was an experience I will treasure and never forget. Louis was first class all the way, a gentle, kind and good man.. I send my love and condolences to Jody and the family.

What a wonderful host he and his wife were to the Mathias-Michel family as we were in York to retrieve a piece of historic glassware & return it to Frederick, Maryland. God Bless & thank you!

What a wonderful man and benefactor for his greater community. His life was long and he made the most of it. It was a privilege serving Pfaltzgraff for almost 19 years. Condolences to his family.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Appell. Thank you for your wisdom and taking the time to chat with me when I was in town. We shared some good stories. I will never forget your kindness. My condolences to the family.

I was the Director of R & D at Pfaltzgraff from 1975-80 before going to Lenox China. The last time I met with Louis was in 1995 in his York office after I retired from Lenox. He treated me cordually as always. I am glad I was able to see him one last time before we moved back to the West. Our love to the family. John T. Jones, Ph.D. Buhl, ID
