I first met Lou in 1985 in Fairbanks while a member of Kiwanis. Lou was a volunteer for Kiwanis, Red Cross the food bank and I am not sure what else. Lou was a helper in the best way. He lost a leg in an auto accident which didn't seem to slow him down all that much. He was a fixture at Gun Shows and could talk hunting and fishing at length. He was the go to guy to teach kids the art of fly casting. I knew he had flown Navy in WW2 but did not know some of the rest. I asked him why he didn't tell us much about those times and he said "well I wasn't the only guy serving." A section of his obit is below. God rest his soul.
