He worked in the transportation business for over 50 years. Lou worked right up until his illness wouldn't allow him to work. He enjoyed all of his co-workers and clients throughout his years in the business. Lou never really saw himself retiring except for his two months in the summer when he enjoyed camping, friends, family, his pool and summer time fires. In the winter he would spend his time bowling in his Friday night league and several other leagues and tournaments throughout his life. He also enjoyed watching his grandchildren bowl. Bowling was a true passion of Lou's, he even bowled a few perfect 300 games. He was husband of the late Marion J. De Voe, the love of his life, who he missed dearly since the day of her passing. He was predeceased by his mother-in-law, Jane P. Kuon.

Memories and Condolences

Lou was a very imposing man, especially if you were 12 years old and sniffing around his oldest daughter!
This of course, was over 40 years ago. The De Voe's at that time lived in Albany. A home on a corner lot surrounded by commercial properties and there would be no legitimate reason for a young man to just happen by.
But I took my chances, and found an entire group of blond haired children playing outside. I started, very nervously, talking to Michelle. Then this Hulk of a man (Remember, I was12) came out screaching in his most feminine voice," Oh my GOD, it's Tom Jasiewicz!...Oh my GOD, it's Tom Jasiewicz!" to which the beautiful and embarrassed Michelle started to blush and proceeded to yell at her dad to, "SHUT UP". That was when I realized he was obviously a good father with a sense of humor.
I know I am very late with this story and offering my condolences, but I felt it was a good time to share.
Please be at peace and remember not just the person but the actions. That is the real guage on how we should be juged.
Tom
