He was born in Akron, Ohio and graduated from St. Vincent in 1948. He attended Marquette University and was awarded a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering in 1952.

Lou was an avid reader and wrote many letters to the editor of the Akron Beacon Journal. He was happy to help his neighbor in time of need and was described in his senior yearbook as 'A promising tutor of female students'. He had his private pilot's license and spent many happy hours at Skypark in Wadsworth. He loved classical music, motorcycles and vintage automobiles. Apart from college and the service he spent his entire life in Akron.
