Louis was a hard worker, dependable, strong, and enduring. In work and in play, he inspired all who walked beside him. Yet, he also knew how to savor life’s joys, whether he was cheering for another 3 pointer while watching the Golden State Warriors or yelling for a touchdown watching the Dallas Cowboys sports gave him enjoyment and thrill. Sports weren't the only thing he enjoyed, he would head out to the game room or casino for a rush of excitement. The anticipation of winning big as he pulled the lever to see the number woosh across the screen brought him enjoyment and excitement.
