Luis was born January 6, 1933 in the U.S. Territory of Puerto Rico. As a young man, he enlisted in the U.S. Army during the Korean Conflict and was stationed in Colorado. Upon discharge from the Army, Luis moved to Brooklyn, New York where he married Naomi Rodriguez and raised their children: Luis, Shadrach, Jonathan, Loarina and Raquel. Luis worked as a Latin-American Missionary and established the Brooklyn Rescue Mission. While in Brooklyn, Luis met Brother George Parylla who later introduced him to Brother Robert Lee Lambert, Pastor of the Durham Assembly Church in Durham, CT.

Brother Louie was a true icon of the greatest generation. I have always looked up to him as one of my childhood heroes. Louie was someone who always made you feel special, he was always concerned for everyone else's welfare. His zeal for the Lord was exceptional. He will be missed as he has escaped the surly bonds of this life to be with the Lord and his belated wife whom he missed so much. My best brother you will be missed....

So sorry to the family, but so happy that Luis is at peace and with his wife. He had a very unique personality and will be missed by all who knew him. He is responsible for one of the lovliest families I know and out of it came, for me, a dear daughter-in-law and beautiful grandson.
