Loving memories of you Uncle Lou. We all have our special memories of you. Rest in peace.
Our condolences to Lou's family, we will remember him as a fine and warm friend. He will be missed and his memory will be cherished.
Top notch bloke with many yarns to tell. Always had the fire cranking at the rifle club and a smile on his face. Great sense of humor. Will be missed
We will always remember the help Lou gave us, always ready to give a hand. Pulling out fence posts turn around and there was Lou with the tractor to help, cleaning out soak holes and he was there again. A great man to have living next door. Will miss the history lessons and stories of Inglewood as told by Lou. Rest Easy,
The Inglewood Rifle Club would like to forward their condolences to Lou´s family. We remember Lou as being one of the most hardest working and dedicated worker amongst our club. He has contributed so much time to the Inglewood Rifle Club over the years. He will be sadly missed. We will be forever grateful for his generosity in enhancing the facilities of the Inglewood Rifle Club. Rest In Peace Lou - from the Inglewood Rifle Club.
Sorry to read about Lou, he was a good member of the inglewood rifle club. I use to shoot with him in the club, he always had the fire going on a winters night.
Loving memories of Uncle Lou by all our family. Syd has great memories of the time he worked with the Butler Bros during hedgecutting days. Uncle Lou also drove our wedding car almost 55yrs ago. RIP Uncle Lou. You will always be remembered with love. Pauline & Syd.

Great Uncle Louie, thank you for spoiling us when you visited the Werder Girls in Kellerberrin Western Australia. Mum would pretend not to notice when you’d tell us we should be eating our dessert first, oh and thank you for all the after school icecream back in the 80’s. A beautiful soul to be relaxed to. 💕 Heidi, Amanda, Katrina & Jessica xxxx
Uncle Louie ; Dads youngest brother; fix it helper ; sharing jokes of the world; a good man; the youngest of a thoroughly good family of ten children. When the horse kicked DAds nose off Dad protected Mum by hiding it and asking her to go get uncle Louie.
