Louis was employed most of his life as the manager for the Division of Employment Security, starting in St. Joseph and being transferred to the Joplin office in 1967. He retired in 1994 after over 32 years of employment. He was later united in marriage to Peggy Arthur Connors in December of 1985 in Joplin. Louis loved to enjoy life and was an avid outdoor enthusiast. Louis will be remembered for many qualities as funny, personality, love in his heart for his wife, family and friends. He was a great story teller, mischievous, determined, and a great friend. He was an active member of the First Community Church of Joplin.
