Dairy, farming, cattle dealer, mini market owner (Harmon Junction) which was built in 1988, were just a few of the hats he wore over the years.

Pages could be written about his adventures. His life was filled with family and good friends and shopping. Louie never met a stranger, he was a friend to many.
