Louis was a man of many passions. He enjoyed the art of woodturning, nurturing his beloved fig trees, and the beauty of nature itself. One of his favorite pastimes was taking long walks with his loyal dog, Digger, in the park where they encountered deer, owls and hawks. Many amazing friends were made on these walks. He also had a deep love for baseball and golf, watching them as often as he could.
