Louis was born and raised in Missoula, then moved to Jackson Michigan, then to Lafayette Indiana. He was an amazing chef and loved to cook any chance he had. He was very interested in living a "healthy" life by eating well, and exercising, especially walking. He was an avid Notre Dame fan and liked football, the ladies and men's basketball teams. He liked Gonzaga, Duke, and Indiana Basketball as well and living in Lafayette, he also fell in love with Purdue. He also liked to walk on the Notre Dame campus. He had a passion for the Kentucky Derby and watching it with his wife. He treasured gardening and square dancing. He also loved golf, keeping a club in his truck, just in case. Above all he was an excellent provider for his family and he looked forward to them coming over to visit and cooking for them.
