This shocked me when I heard my uncle had passed. There was a lot of memories I had with my uncle Lewis, a ton of camping memories and family get togethers. I'll never forget his method he passed to me on water skiing. I use his methods in the way I teach folks now. You'll be missed unc..... God Bless the family and may God watch over each and every one at this moment of need.

So sorry for your loss! Louis was a good friend and I enjoyed the time we shared working together at Fire Station 18. He was a great driver and a joy to be around at the station. I will miss him dearly. You should be proud of him, he was truly an asset to the department and a friend to all he worked with. Rest in peace my friend.
