Born February 14, 1936 in Chicago, Louis was the son of Louis, Sr. and Loretta (Lancman) Hoidas. He retired after a dedicated career as a maintenance engineer in the food industry. In his free time, Lou enjoyed going for rides on his motorcycle, working on his model railroads and railroad scenery, spending time and relaxing at his park model in Seneca, attending and recording his grandson's baseball and football games and most of all being with his family. Family was everything to Lou, especially his children and grandchildren. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Louis was preceded in death by his parents: Louis, Sr. and Loretta; infant son: Robert Louis Hoidas, and cousin: Rosemary Jakubowski.
Per Louis' wishes, cremation rites have been accorded.
