Born in New Orleans, Lou served the United States in the Marine Corps and attending Tulane University. He always enjoyed a good laugh, a great ball game, and golf with his sons. He was a fantastic dancer with his wife and loving partner of over 73 years. Boating, camping, and fishing were outings Lou shared with his family regularly. He also enjoyed bowling on this traveling team with Eastern Airlines. His love of aviation lead him to Eastern Airlines for his entire career as an Aircraft Mechanic.
