Luis made such a difference in my life. I was suppose to be a one class student at the Elkhart Campus at Ivy tech. Luis saw something in me and convinced me to go further. So I gave it a try 30 yrs old with a c average high school education. Because of him a became an accountant with a 4.0 GPA with honors. Luis was a great educator and cared deeply about his students his. His death will be a great loss to all future students. Rest in peace Luis you were a great man in the hearts of many Ivy Tech Students.
My deepest sympathy to the DePaul family. May God be with you and comfort you during this time of grieving. Shari Moran

Lou was a great person! He was my first boss at Ivy Tech and helped me in so many ways. He had a passion for the students and went above and beyond the call of duty if it would help someone. He was a great friend and he will be greatly missed.
Alice: Our thoughts & prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. Trent & Irene
Carolyn & family, I wanted to send my deepest sympathy to you and your family. Louis was a wonderful man who gave so much of himself. JCUW was blessed by his caring and compassionant selflessness. Our prayers are with you and your family.
I feel very blessed to have known Lou, even if was for just a short while. He was a very compassionate person and could certainly teach us all about friendship, loyalty, understanding, and the value of listening. He will be greatly missed!
Alice – I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your brother. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Kurt
My deepest sympathy to the entire DePaul family. How very sad to hear of Lou’s death. I began my career at the South bend campus as ACC program chair in 1996. Lou was a real help in showing me what I REALLY needed to know. I loved his laugh! He will be missed.
Carolyn and Family, Alice, Mary Jo, Donald & Phillip: Please accept our deepest sympathies on the sudden loss of Louis. I will always remember him as big and strong with a deep and unforgettable laugh and twinkle in his eye. He will be greatly missed. Sorry we can’t be there with you. You are in our prayers.
Carolyn, please know that you and the family are in my prayers. Lou helped me like so many others, through difficult times and despite our working positions was always a true friend, confidant and adviser. I feel a hole in my being just knowing he is not there to turn to at least on this earth any longer. Ivy Tech here in Elkhart is special in a large part due to the value and character he brought the campus. It is special even today in part because of the legacy left, no instilled by Lou among us. I wish I was able to be at the funeral mass however you are all in my prayers. Ron Gerstbauer
So very sorry about Louis’s passing…we are in Florida, so I can’t be there for the funeral, but I can and will pray for you and your family. You have my heartfelt sympathy.
I first met Lou not long after he came to the Columbus Ivy Tech and I was the coordinator at the Greensburg Learning Center. He was a valuable resource helping me to learn more about Ivy Tech and expanding the course offerings in Greensburg. Lou was a deeply caring man and will be missed by many. My sincerest sympathy to his family.
I was shocked when I read about Lou’s passing. He was a wonderful, generous & caring person. I worked in the office of Ivy Tech in Elkhart and worked with Lou many times. He was always watching out for us (the girls in the office)and making sure we were treated fairly. He was respected & loved by all. He will be greatly missed. My prayers will be with his family in their time of grief.
Carolyn and family, Please know that many of your old friends at the Elkhart County WIC office are thinking of you. It seems that only recently Louie was chatting with us in the lunch room at Hudson Street . We hope that you will be comforted by the many memories you have of your husband and father.
Dear Alice & Jeff, we’re so sorry to hear of the death of Alice’s brother Louis. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family during this time of loss and sorrow.

I was shocked to hear of Lou’s passing. His time on earth has been short but please know that he has impacted hundreds if not thousands of people with his care and concern. He will be missed.
I will miss you my friend. God bless your family.
I had the pleasure of having Paul as an instructor in several of my accounting classes. He was a great man whom spoke of his family and loved to tell a joke or two. He will be greatly missed.
