Dear Betty, I was emailed the notice by a good friend in Texas. We

think we knew Louis from the church of Christ young people when he was a student at Kansas University, in Lawrence, Ks. I want to extend my most heartfelt sympathy to you and all the family. He was a good friend to all of us and I know he will be missed. (I do have some photos from that time in his life. If you would like copies, just let me know.
