Lou was the baby of the family! He loved spending time with his family and his time alone with his loving wife Rose. He looked forward every year to going hunting with his son Denis, grandson Sebastien and his friends. He loved tinkering in his garage and doing many home improvements. He made many friends over the years through all his business ventures. He owned Trans Canada Guard Rail, The Empire Restaurant and LJS Water Alert & Supply. He was also a member of the Knights of Columbus.
He had a love of music and played guitar and mandolin. Everyone was welcomed to his garage to play music, sing and drink beers! He was a lifelong friend of Guy and Nicole Trottier, John and Linda Demers and James and Bridget Scott. He loved being surrounded by his friends and was the life of the party! It is a sad day on Beck Rd.
