Upon returning to Fort Dodge, he joined a local law firm. He was elected Justice of the Peace and later County Attorney. In 1972, he joined the McCarville, Bennett, Beisser, & Ferguson Law Firm. In 1981, the Governor of Iowa appointed Louie to the District Court Bench as a judge where he remained in service until retirement.

He belonged to the Webster County, Iowa State, and American Bar Associations as well as the American Judicature Society and many Trial Lawyers’ Associations. Louie was involved in many civic organizations from Sertoma, United Way, YMCA, to the Catholic Charities, and various local fundraisers.

He loved cheering for all the High School sports teams. He loved playing golf and watching baseball and football. When he did have spare time, Louie worked on home improvement projects. Louie and Corinne traveled to all 50 states, seeing the sights and enjoying the air bases that had a parked B-25 bomber present.

The one thing Louie liked best was to make other people’s day. He could be heard saying, “Top of the morning, good looking!” to every passerby.
