In his spare time, Lou enjoyed gardening, taking care of his home and yard, tinkering in his garage and listening to Jimmy Buffet music. He could build or fix anything. He was an avid fisherman, boater, and golfer and was the happiest when he was on the water.
Lou always put his family first and would do anything for them. He and his wife Dolores were married for 55 years and they loved spending time with their children, grandchildren and fur babies. He will be greatly missed by all of those who were blessed to have him in their lives.
