Louie, you save the day for me last year when I was being audited. You brought cousin Michael to help me get through the audit. I saw you save the day for others throughout my life. Your physical presence will be missed but I know you will continue to be an advocate for all of us in Heaven! My love and sympathy for those who called you husband, father, Grandfather, brother, friend and cousin.
I am saddened to hear of the loss of Louis. I always enjoyed visiting with him at Brent and Brideen gatherings. May you find peace and comfort in these next few days knowing he touched many people. Love and prayers.
Louie may you Rest In Peace. Thank you for being a wonderful friend to my dad and looking out for him. I will miss you and greatly appreciate all your kindness you have shown to myself and my dad.
My condolences to the family-I have nice memories of Louie when we drove around in his grandmother’s green Cadillac. That car was so cool and might have been the impetus that moved me to be a “classic car” guy. RIP

I have several fond memories of Louis . He definitely could make anyone smile. My fondest memory of him was when he came to our garage sale and purchased a birdhouse for his granddaughter. He was so excited to be able to get that for her. He was very kind and a good listener. He will be missed! RIP my friend
I am sorry for your loss, Marlene.l You are such a devoted wife and I’m sure you had a lovely marraige.
So sorry for your loss Marlene. My condolences to you and your family.
Marlene and girls,
I worked with Louey when he was a Holy Family, and I was at St. Michaels. He was always so smiley and happy even when the strains of administration were part of his day. He was a good friend and we visited whenever I ran into him while he was still in Grand Forks. I considered him a friend and have many happy and fun memories of our work together. I know you will miss him greatly but God blessed you with his life and now the memories of those days will help you move forward without him. My prayers are with you all at this difficult time..
Mrs. Sharon Litchy
Marlene, Mara, Marlo, Brideen,…I’m still in shock and so sad for you and the grandkids. There are so many fun memories growing up with you guys in Grand Forks…Summer Thing Mashed Potato lip sync song…garage sales…birthday parties…weddings…we would call him “Cousin/Uncle Louis from Chicago” when we were little. Always lots of laughs and smiles. Since we moved to Fargo, we really got to know him again. Louis would stop over and bring gifts for the kids. Always so thoughtful. The best was when you all came over on Thanksgiving. Louie was never in a rush… always ready to talk and joke and laugh. It’s the old school you rarely see anymore where time spent with people matters…We love you Louie and miss you. So sorry for your loss. Our loss. Everyone’s loss. Love, Sarine and Leovy Garcia — Charlice, Leo and Sarah
Marlene, I am so sorry to hear of Louie’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the whole family at this sad time. Hugs to you all.
Marlene and Family, Thinking of you and your family for the loss of Louie. Thoughts and prayers. Kay, Jeff and Shawn Peterson.
