Of West Seneca, NY. January 6, 2021.
Beloved husband of 41 years to Rose
Marie (nee Varela); loving brother
of Gloria (the late Francis) Hillman;
cherished uncle of Gail (James)
Adams, Mark (Diane) Hillman, Wayne
Hillman, John Varela, and Linda (Adam)
Wychowski; great-uncle of Christopher
(Amber) Adams, Sara (Robert)
Cornish, Aubrey Hillman, Nicole and
Katherine Varela, and Sophia and
Samuel Wychowski; great-great uncle
of Ryan and Evelyn Adams; brother-inlaw
of Noel (Carla Benz) Varela; loved
one to much extended family. A true
Renaissance man, Lou’s interests ran
the gamut from the sciences, music
and history to gardening, mushrooming
and his great love of the outdoors
and travel. From childhood on, his
home away from home was Allegany
State Park, camping with family and
friends. Perhaps best known as a
truly exceptional cook who could turn
nature’s bounty into masterpieces
even on a camp stove, he was devoted
to passing on his family’s traditions
and recipes to new generations. A
Celebration of Life will be announced
at a later date. In honor of his service
to others over 33 years as a research
scientist and building manager at
Roswell Park, memorials may be made
to Roswell Park Alliance Foundation.
