After selling his business, Louis dabbled in rental properties until finally retiring once and for all. He was an avid outdoorsman who loved hunting and fishing. He also enjoyed growing a garden and going dancing with his wife Joyce. They traveled extensively with family and friends, going on yearly cruises and bus tours. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
