A man of great faith, Louis loved God, and studied the Bible with Greek concordance for years to better enjoy, understand, and teach others its meaning. Louis also enjoyed pencil portrait drawing, loved listening to classical music, and enjoyed his salt-water aquarium(s), which he had for decades, and which were home to soft and hard corals, decades old tropical fish, starfish, hermit crabs, live rock and various other sea animals. Above all, Louis was a loving family man, a devoted husband, proud and loving father, brother, uncle, and friend.
