Ms. Loree, and family, Jim and I are so saddened to hear this. We love you and extend our deepest sympathies. Praying for your family for peace and comfort! Jim and Kathy Wolfe

Jim, so sorry to read of your dad's death. He was most fortunate to live such a long and much loved life. Didn't realize I knew him except through you. But his obituary reminds me of working with him at Sears. Part-time students like myself appreciated the kindness and guidance that professionals like your dad gave us. Those were good times "back in the day" at Sears. My sincere condolences to you and your family. Bette (Holloway)

Praying for the family. I remember him when I was growing up. He was so nice and since he worked at Sears, I remember asking my mom if he could get me something, don’t remember what it was but she said no that he didn’t own Sears and she would still have to pay for it!! I was disappointed but I remember him being so nice when I was over playing with Rhonda! I know you will miss him but you will see him in Heaven! 🙏🏻❤️

When i first came to Swartz Baptist, Bro Louis was the first to welcome my Family,and Me ,served as a Deacon with him for many years,when he retired as an active deacon, he asked me to serve as building and grounds director, I am honored to do so, Bro Louis had rule for me to follow,always get get the problem fixed ,then get permission, to whitch i try to follow, the will never be another Bro Louis, God speed my friend.

Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

Mrs. Auttonberry and family, we send our deepest sympathy in the homegoing of Bro. Louis. I have fond memories of you at Swartz Elementary and have visited with you through the Esteps at First Baptist, Swartz. My Dad pastored at Rowland Road Baptist Church in the 60's and 70's. What Bro. Louis for many years believed by faith, he now knows by sight! He arrived to his forever home and will forever celebrate the birth of our Saviour and worship Him as will we at this Christmas time of year. He will hear the herolding angels sing and join giving praise to Jesus. May our Lord wrap His loving arms around each of you in the days and weeks ahead to give you peace. The family of (the late) E. Lowe Stone (Beverly, Bobby and Nannette Stone, Fort Smith, AR)

Mr. Louis was a wonderful Christian man and we were blessed to have his fellowship at Swartz First Baptist Church. Our condolences and prayers to the family.

I have a very strong and abiding love / respect for your dad. He was the greatest example of a godly man that I have ever known. I often wish I had known your mother and hope someday to meet her in heaven. Your dad was so kind in all of his actions no matter where he was: at work, on the lake, around his family, at church. In all places he was the same kind and gentle soul full of love. He always put others ahead of himself. I consider it a true honor to have known him and love him. I only hope that I can honor his name with the remaining life that I have left by following his example the way he did by following our lord and savior Jesus Christ. Thank you both for sharing your dad with me. Marty

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
