After working for Coca Cola for more than 20 years, Louis retired and was looking forward to spending his golden years with the love of his life Juanita along with collecting rare coins and historical military artifacts.

Over the years, Louis collected an extensive collection of historical currencies and weapons. Known to all as a history buff, he would spend hours talking about famous military battles and politics while sipping his collection of fine whiskeys but specifically enjoyed his hometown favorite, Balcones Whiskey. Louis, had a big and hearty laugh and was a friendly and familiar face to many in Waco.
