Out of our police class 34 there are still over fifteen members still remember Louis. We started school December 27,1966. I contacted the family around our 30th reunion but have lost the number. I would like to speak with members of the family to let them know Louis is not forgotten. My email is Fredway2@sbcglobal.net.I was with him when he was killed and have a few stories I would like to relay
