RIP Louis. I remember you well.
Back in the day in Moiese Louie and I spent a little time on the Fowler farm together. Louie taught to stand on my own two feet and not be afraid of hard work. We got in trouble a couple times, but we had fun. In my book Louie was a good man. My condolence to the Largent Family.
I really liked visiting with Louis whenever we met. He was a friend who my mom, Dorothy Spang enjoyed visiting with during many lunchtimes @ the Ronan Senior Center. He will be missed.
