For 36 years, he worked at G.E. in Everett/Lynn where his dedication and skill were well recognized. His commitment to his work was matched only by his love of sports.

Lou found joy in his role as an ASA umpire and his time spent as a ranger and starter at the Meadows Golf Course. These positions allowed him to engage with people from all walks of life, sharing stories and creating memories.

Outside of work, he was a man of many interests and talents. As an avid golfer Lou, could often be found on the green, practicing his putting and enjoying the camaraderie of his fellow golf buddies.
