Lou passed away suddenly on Nov. 20, 2007 at his home in Sardis. He was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan July 26, 1926.
Lou is well known from his recreational vehicle business in Abbotsford, L&H Leisure Vehicles Ltd., which he owned for many years. He loved to golf, walk, bike and had an interest in history. He also loved to go on vacation with his wife Helen, the joy of his life.
He is remembered for his love of antique cars and his passion for restoring them. However, his real purpose in life was serving Christ.
