Louis graduated from George Wingate High School in Brooklyn, NY. After high school, he served in the US Air Force. He worked for Harrah’s Casino in Joliet as a security guard for 26 years.
Louis enjoyed the simple things including listening to “the oldies”. He could be found in his favorite recliner watching T.V., cheering on the NY Yankees, or revisiting his favorite movie, “The Warriors”. He could be very particular about food, always looking for the best veal parmesan to critique.
