I am deeply saddened to read of Loi's passing.
My life has been shaped by the lessons learned in his fields. His farm grew much more than vegetables and his strong character left an endilible mark on all he did.
May Gods peace ease your family as you learn to carry the grief of your farther

So very sorry to read on the internet of Louis's death. It seems as tho it was a
hundred years ago that he hired me part-time to work on the farm. He was a great guy and a gentleman.

After reading what I'm sure is a very short depiction of his life, I'm sorry for the loss of such a caring individual. The world needs more people like Louis. God Bless
