Louis loved UNC! He was very proud of being a Tarheel. He was very active in the Wilson Jaycees and was honored by receiving the highest Jaycee award of becoming a Jaycee Senator. He loved his time with the Jaycee's and could always be counted on to do his part and sometimes someone else's. Louis willingly and consistently donated blood to the American Red Cross, donating well over 100 pints. His family owed the Monticello Restaurant for many years providing Wilson with delicious food. Louis was faithful and dedicated to all he did. He gave his all!
