Louie was a beloved barber for over 61 years, first having a shop in LaGrange before teaming up with Johnny Suter in Palmyra. Barbering was a big part of who Louie was, but not the most important part, he was a loving husband, dedicated father, and great friend. Louie, Joan, Johnny and Joyce were the best of friends always found together around town. Louie and Joan especially enjoyed their trips to Branson, Mo., taking in a show and checking out the shops and craft malls. His children and grandchildren kept him busy attending games and taking trips together. Louie enjoyed yard work, and loved growing tomatoes and rhubarb. He liked to watch the St. Louis Cardinals play. A Christian man, Louie could often be found reading his Bible and attended Hannibal Church of Christ.

Services were held September 22, 2023, at Lewis Brothers Funeral Chapel. Minister Rodger Lane officiated. Burial was in Greenwood Cemetery in Palmyra, Mo.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Hannibal Church of Christ.
