I was blessed to know Louis through the Baton Rouge chapter of Secular Discalced Carmelites. He was always such a kind and gentle man who spoke so lovingly of his large family. He served our community as president, and later as treasurer for many years, always with quiet humility.
I pray that he is now seeing the face of God.
I offer my deepest condolences to his family. Rest in peace dear Louis, a good and faithful servant of our great God. +

My condolences to all in his family. We knew Louis both through his working with my husband at DOTD and as a Carmelite Secular. He was a wonderful man to know. Enjoyed his magic show as well. Prayers are with all of you and for the repose of his soul. What a beautiful legacy he has left! Frances Locker
