Louis graduated high school and has resided in the Ukiah area for the past 67 years. Louis enlisted in the service but they wouldn’t take him so he went to work for Hall-Scott in Oakland building PT boat engines, 7 days a week, 12 hours a day for 2 years. He worked as a machinist and owned a successful business, Ukiah Automotive Machine Shop, for 30 years. He received his pilot’s license in the mid 1950’s. He was very active wood turning, working outdoors, farming and taking care of the ranch. He will be remembered for his sense of humor and his woodturning bowls. He married the love of his life, Willa on February 7, 1942 and loved her fiercely. She lost her sight in 1981 and he devoted himself to her. He liked to say sky blue pink was his favorite color. He was very proud of helping raise his two grandchildren. His favorite quote was “Damn if you know, I don’t.”
