Louis was a great guy and great friend. First person I met when I started at Dentsply. Helped me all the time. He would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. Him and I ribbed each other all the time. Some people at Dentsply thought we hated each other. We were just having fun. We always ribbed each other about the Air Force vs the Navy. Great times. Louis was the type of person that if he put his mind to something, he would get it done. I was after him for a while to quit smoking but he didn’t. He had a heart attack and I went to visit with him in the emergency room. I said “are you going to quit now”. He said “here throw this pack in the trash for me”. He never smoked again. Louis was a great friend and we had some great times at work, fishing, and joking around. I will truly miss you my friend. I was lucky to have you as a part of my life. Rest In Peace my friend.
