Louis Ernest Tremblay

Born on January 23, 1926, in Lowell, Massachusetts, Louis lived a life defined by service, dedication, love, and quiet perfection. At the age of 18, he answered the call of duty, serving in the United States Navy aboard the USS Freestone from 1944 to 1946 during World War II. His time in the military left a deep impression on him, shaping the values and discipline that would guide him for the rest of his life.

After his honorable service, Louis worked at the Watertown Arsenal and later at the Philadelphia Mint. In 1968, he and his beloved wife Marion moved across the country to San Diego, where he secured a civil service position at North Island Naval Air Station. Louis retired at the age of 55, having built a career marked by excellence and commitment.

A man of many passions, Louis loved spending his retirement playing golf, shooting pool, and enjoying meals with friends and family at his favorite local restaurants. He and Marion traveled extensively, collecting memories and stories from around the globe. He was a gifted storyteller, and those who knew him were often captivated by the tales of his adventures.

Louis was known for his impeccable character, unwavering work ethic, and devotion to those he loved. Everything he touched—his work, his marriage, his friendships—was done with care and grace. It’s no wonder he earned the nickname “Sweet Lou,” a tribute to his gentle spirit and seemingly effortless ability to make everything turn out just right.

Louis is survived by his sister Solange Paquet, his children, his nieces and nephews, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and close friends who were like family to him, all of whom carry forward his legacy of love, laughter, and integrity.

Louis Ernest Tremblay lived what many would consider a perfect life: rich in experiences, surrounded by love, and filled with purpose. He departed this world the same way he lived in it—with peace, dignity, and perfection.

He will be deeply missed, fondly remembered, and forever cherished.
