Louis loved to travel for the gospel and he enjoyed playing his violin very much. He always said if he played for the world, then how much more to play for the "King of Kings and Lord of Lords" which is the logo he used on his business cards. Louis and his brothers George and Norman made gospel tapes for the glory of God. He taught his granddaughter Julie McLean to play the violin, which he always said "was something he wanted to pass on to his children." We love you Dad, we know you went home, and for those of us who remain here on earth, you would want us to make heaven our home, where mansions glisten and crowns are given. Wake services will be held on Tuesday, August 8 and Wednesday, August 9 at 7:30 p.m. each evening.

Grandpa (doopido) Not a day goes by, I think of you. All of my memories of home; you are in them, even when I moved away you encouraged me. I wish so many times that I could go over or hear your voice. If only you could meet my wife and kids. I would be happy, but I know it was your time... Even if I could go home; it would be hard now, only because of the flooding that's taking place, with family members passing away or depression in the community. So all I could say now, is that I'm glad that you are home, "I Love you, I miss you!" ~Jr - Posted by: John McLean Jr (Grandson) on: Mar 06, 2013
