He attended Hampden Sydney and Tulane Universities and studied at the Columbia College Film and Video School of Chicago. While living in New Orleans, Chicago and Atlanta, Lou worked in video production, broadcasting and documentaries. Lou was larger than life to all who knew him. With his huge smile, towering at 6’5” he was referred to affectionately as “little Lou” by his family and friends both near and far. He will be remembered for his kind and generous heart and his witty sense of humor. He adored his family and friends always showing them support and love. He shared his faith, spirituality and his passion for the outdoors and travel with his mother, father, brother and Godson, Brice. It has been said that the heart and mind are the true lens of the camera. And if that is true, Lou's body of work is a reflection of the beauty and love that he saw in the world, and more importantly what he wanted to share with those who were close to him. Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend a funeral service at St. Charles Avenue Presbyterian Church, 1545 State Street, on Thursday, March 12, 2015 at 3:00pm.
