Louis was born in Ockov, Slovakia and immigrated to Canada with his parents in 1938. In 1954, Louis married the love of his life Anne Krizak. They settled on the family farm where they lovingly raised their three daughters. Louis enjoyed spending time with family and friends, however Grandpa's greatest joy was spending time with his grandchildren. In his early years Dad was an avid big game hunter, played baseball and was an excellent self-taught welder, as recognized by all who came to the farm for his expertise with any fix-it job. Dad loved camping so much that he built his own camper to travel with his family. As well as farming, Dad worked at Trailmobile for 30 years, retiring from his job as shop foreman in 1989.
