My heart goes out to the Smith family,
So sorry for your loss. I have such fond memories of Louis always so kind and so generous. You will be missed here on earth. God bless and RIP .... JF

I went back to my logbook in the '70's and found my memory served me well. I remember flying with Capt Lou on the L-1011. Always professional, fun and a pleasure to be in the same cockpit with him.

Lou,
You will be dearly missed by Scott and I.
Latrelle,you,Skipper,Belinda and Ashley are in our thoughts and prayers.Much love, Scott and Diane Jones

  He was a real trickster when I visited his home in Atlanta.  He loved to poor milk on my hair when I was almost dry in rollers and taught me how to water ski even when he pulled the throttle higher so it would scare me half to death.  He knew how to get me over my shyness.  Yes he was a go getter and did anything he set his mind own.  Thank you for my making my teenager years a great experience.

My Uncle Lou was the father I never had. The great role model I needed. He lived hard, laughed loud and loved much! Always ready for a new adventure! He had more living he wanted to do and a wife and family he was not ready to leave! He is free of pain and suffering! I pray he is celebrating in Heaven...wonder what new adventure God has assigned to Uncle Lou!! Prayers for Aunt LaTrelle and his precious family!

A gentleman and aviator of the highest order..

I flew with Lou several times, and it was a pleasure to fly with him.  My prayers are with his family.

Louis was a "Good Guy"  I had the privilege of being his Boss for a while, though he gave me more in experience and knowledge than I ever gave him. His sense of humor was invaluable.
