Lou was a mechanical engineer who had an impressive career. He kept putting off retirement as he loved learning and developing products, working with people and being a part of a larger engineering community, beginning at GE in Boston and ending as President of CAS Medical in Branford.

Although Lou and his wife travelled extensively, boating was his passion. They spent much of their time boating and socializing at The Branford Yacht Club with friends. He was a past Commodore at the yacht club, a position he truly loved. Lou sold his last boat The “LOENA” at age 85. Lou was a member of the Branford Rotary Club and loved helping at the pancake breakfasts.
