In 1941, Louis moved to the Ogden area. He met the love of his life, Janet Thornock in 1944, where they had their first date Christmas Eve. They were married October 15, 1945 in Ogden, Utah. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake LDS Temple on April 16, 1965.

Louis was a member of the Canyon Hollows LDS Ward where he served as the Finance Clerk for 18 years serving through four different Bishoprics. He also served in the Elders Quorum and Sunday School.

He was a truck driver for 27 years for Ogden Propane. After retirement, he delivered flowers for Klenke Floral and worked for Harmon''s Grocery Store. Louis took great pride in his garden.
