Born in Mobile, Al on September 1, 1947, Louis affectionately known as “Lou” to many, graduated from Murphy High School in 1965. Shortly after graduation, he joined the U.S. Airforce, where he served as an air traffic controller until 1971.
Louis went on to build a fulfilling career in the grocery industry before retiring in 2018 and moving back to Mobile. He enjoyed woodworking and looked forward to annual fishing trips to Ferriday, Louisiana. He was always willing to lend a helping hand, especially when it came to home projects, and could be counted on by family and friends whenever he was needed.
Louis was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and brother. He will be greatly missed and will be remembered for his kind heart, generous spirit, and willingness to help others. His love for his family and the memories they shared will remain a lasting part of his legacy.
