Cindy and the entire family and friends,
Louie was a kind, sincere friend. He was one of a kind, there when anyone needed him. He had one of the biggest hearts ever! He always stopped and talked for a few minutes, even if he was on his way somewhere. Sure makes a difference in everyone´s lives, when we loose someone we love. But know this, it was much harder for him to let go of you all, as you very well knew! He wanted to make sure all of you were gonna be ok before he let go. I always say... He had to say " goodbye" to so many ... and each of you only had to say " goodbye" to just ONE! He will truly be missed by so many! Take care of one another as he would have wanted! Love, Brenda and Dave Greve

So sorry to hear about Lil Louis as I remember him from having "chicken fry´s" at various houses of friends. I remember helping out as a family one year at thanksgiving at Erbs! My parents, Zeke and Rita were close to his family! So many good times with everyone! So sorry for your family loss!

I coached all three of his girls. The obituary is right---Louie was a great Dad to them. He was at every game and many practices. The family is proud to call him Dad.
