Louie was a veteran of WWII, working as an army radio operator in the Philippines. Growing up he helped out in his family's produce store in San Francisco. After the war, he opened his own store in San Francisco. After he sold his business, he went to work for Safeway for 30 years in the produce department. He really knew his fruits and vegetables and would put that knowledge to use growing wonderful vegetables every year in his garden. When not working in the garden, he enjoyed remodeling and doing projects around the house. In his later years he was an avid bocce ball player with the South San Francisco League and the San Bruno Senior Center league. He also enjoyed trips and outings with the senior center. Louie was a kind and gentle man and will be missed by many.
