Louie was a very faithful Christian who had a personal relationship with his Lord and Savior. Louie offered words of wisdom and knowledge to those in need and was a great prayer warrior. He was proud of his faith and wanted everyone around him to have a relationship with God. He led many to Christ because of his powerful witness. He was often heard paraphrasing from John 15:16, “I didn’t choose God. God chose me.”
Louie was a great father, husband, grandfather, and great grandfather and taught them all a powerful work ethic. He was self-employed for most of his life and mastered many trades. He loved restoring street rods.
Louie was a teacher and also a jokester who was feisty, with a great sense of humor. His children always turned to him for wisdom and advice. He spent many hours each week lending a kind ear to others and chatting on the telephone and having daily breakfasts with his nephews.
He will be missed dearly by his family, friends, and everyone else who had the pleasure of knowing him.
