Louis was born in Osborne, Kansas, and attended grade school, junior high and high school there.  He left to join the Navy in 1943, becoming a Boatswain’s Mate on a destroyer tender and served in the Navy for four years.  After returning home from WWII, Louis returned to the area of his hometown.

Louis continued to work as a landlord for his commercial buildings he owned in his spare time, you would find him at the Senior Citizen enjoying his daily lunch, playing pool with his buddies and several times per week, driving to dances all over western Kansas. After a fall and a brief time in a nursing home, he relocated to Overland Park, Kansas in 2018 where his two children, Monte Lou and Michelle Ann reside.  Louis thrived in Kansas City and enjoyed many wonderful times with his family and friends.  Louis adored his children and while in Kansas City, took several “vacations” out to Washington state to visit his son Rodney and daughter-in-law, Maria and while there, he remained active every day.
