As a teenager, he traveled to Dartmouth where he worked making fins for bombs. Over the years, he held several jobs, including working at Gaudet’s home furnishings, serving as a mail carrier with Canada Post, and tending bar at Grosses Coques Club.

Louis was predeceased by his common-law partner, Dorothy Doucette. He was the last surviving member of his immediate family, predeceased by his brothers Ulysse, Hector, Wilfred, Nelson, Luc, and Arthur, and his sisters Emilie, Corinne, Anita, Doris, Juliette and Rita as well as step son Paul Doucette.

He is also survived by his step-granddaughters, Amanda Moreau of Kentucky and Ashley Bourgeois of New Hampshire, along with several step-great-grandchildren, Keeley, Brayden, Brooklyn and Memphis.

The family would like to thank the caregivers who came into his home to care for Louis as well as the staff at the Villa for their kindness, care and compassion.
