He loved traveling with his family and playing tennis. His family is at peace knowing that he has joined his wife Chloe in heaven.

Louis is survived by his brother, Harry, children, David, Gary, Douglas, Beverly and Todd, and seven grandchildren, Lauren, Calvin, Franco, Carter, Chloe, Cameron and Julia.

Condolences to the family. I went to school with Gary and I remember many days going with my Dad up to the pharmacy. It is hard to believe both of them are no longer with us. Celebrating a life well lived and now reunited with his wife; God Bless the families!

We didn't have a chance to sign the guest book at the services this morning, and wanted to express our deepest sympathy to the entire Louie Faucher family on the loss of your dad. Louie was one of a kind for sure. You always knew from the laughter that Louie was around. His reunion in heaven with sweet Chloe must have really been something.

Love to you all,
Ken and Patty Faucher

Faucher Family, so very sorry to hear of Lou's passing. As one of the Saint Rose "kids" your Mom and Dad are remembered fondly by my family.
Later, Lou was a customer of mine when we maintained his residence in Imperial Beach, what a character he was and a true gentleman.
May God bless Lou and Chloe and all of you.
Mike Spethman, and Family.

Richard & I were hoping to see you all but are not able to make it. You are all in our thoughts. Hard to picture you all grown up adults now. I named my Todd after Todd Faucher & my Todd is now 31.

Your Dad was truly one of a kind with a dynamic personality. I think he could have sold snow to the Eskimos.

Gary & Doug -- I remember the racquetball games and you guys coming over. Seems like yesterday.

I really enjoyed being around Chloe & hope both your parents are happy to be together again.

Please contact us when you have a chance.
