In his thirties Louis met and dedicated his life to Jesus Christ. Louis and Jean ministered to countless individuals over the years and their marriage was an example to many. Over the years they took numerous people into their home and mentored them. In 1991 Louis retired from the Amoco refinery after 35 years. After retirement he began gardening full time and selling his produce at local farmer’s markets. Louis and Jean were involved with their church, New Song, where he was an Elder.
