Lou was a Christian, having been raised in the Catholic faith and had most recently attended St. Stephens Catholic Church in Richwoods, MO.  As a young man, he became a member of the International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 513 of Bridgeton, MO.  For several years he worked from the Union hall operating heavy equipment. About fifteen years ago he started his own business, R. L. Grading LLC, which he was still operating. He often did work for McBride Homes. When Lou wasn’t at work, he was usually busy working on his farm, clearing ground and baling hay. He loved living in the country and enjoyed feeding the birds and other wildlife. Lou was a great cook and truly loved smoking meats, grilling and baking.  He enjoyed trying new recipes and cooking for family and friends. He enjoyed the companionship of his dogs and had a fondness for eagles.  The wonderful memories and love shared with his wife and family will forever be treasured by them all.
