Louis E. Witte

First of all, my condolence goes out to the Witte family and friends. well, Louie and I were neighbors for probably 1112 years. I´m guessing somewhere like that, there are so many things that we did together in that garage of his, I helped him build a beach buggy that had a 427 Chrysler hemi in it, we used to make paper bombs out of the oxygen and selling and set them off. We used to go Hunting I used to go on trips with them. I guess what I´m getting at is that I really don´t have any...

He was an amazing man! We are blessed to have known him. He will be very missed by all whose lives he touched! Rest in Peace Lou.

Louie when it comes to saying you´ve got big shoes to fill that is literary the truth ! You have to be one of the most smartest upfront tell it like it is person I have ever met. I would get so nervous when you would ask me a question because I know you already knew the answer although it would be an odd question how many molecules are in a bottle of ranch dressing . Lol just something crazy like that. I will surely miss making the peanut butter cookies around the holidays with you polishing...

25 years ago I was sent to Bakersfield to set up an oil company I went directly to California Oil Authorities and asked who is the best service rig operator I was told Louis Witte. Louis did not disappoint. This past two years we have been testing a deep horizontal well in northern Montana a well we refer to as the well from hell. Louis loved a challenge we had many discussions. My favorite Louis when he called saying "Ken you know what" . Truly miss you Louis

Louie was a man of many words and very big shoes to fill like seriously . When he asked you a question it would make me so nervous because if you know Louie you know he already knows the answer! Louie had a heart of gold . And so very ornery. The Holidays will for ever be so different. I will sure miss baking the kiss cookies and polishing the kitchen aid as we used it , and making the purple eggs . His bbq ribs were life changing , and our trips to Fish Gaucho, brown butter cookie Company,...

I still remember the ride Louis gave to me in his brand new boss 302 mustang. i lived down street from Louis parents. i asked him, "is it fast?" he said "get in, I´ll give you ride". we went on the back road from fellows to Taft. I was scared the all the way while Louis was laughing the whole time.he said "how did like that Gary wasn´t that fun?" I could barely talk I was so scared. Another funny story about Louis, we were camping at Pismo beach .Louis & I went out in the dunes because he...

Louie was one of a kind and a great deal of fun. Drilling wells can be a pain at times but drilling for Louie was always a pleasure. He will be greatly missed by all

Oh Louis, I miss you already. A few of your favorite sayings include, “Get up, do something, even if it’s wrongjust do something.” “You can rest when you[’re] [g]one”. I know you’re resting giving someone else holy heck! I feel your presence, still, and hope that never ends. Eternally yours

Worked with louis in the late 90´s, There was no such thing as a bad day when Louis was around, his sense of Humor would always cheer you up. My condolences to the family.
