Lou was a veteran of the United States Coast Guard.  A welder by trade Lou was a member of the New York City Ironworkers.  As a skilled mechanic he enjoyed rebuilding cars and leaving his custom touch on each one.  Lou showed many of his custom cars at car shows each year as well as attending vintage flea markets with his best friend and wife, Madeline.  Alongside Madeline, Lou raised his three children in Long Island, N.Y. before settling in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania.
