He was a member of the Waialae Country Club, and had served as chairman of the Hawaiian Open. He was especially interested In the Salvation Army, and had been active in Princeton alumni affairs.

On Sept. 30, 1944, Lou married Betty Clark, who survives him, as do their three children, Anne Kreucher, Barbara Bartee, and John K; and four grandchildren.

Because he lived so far away, we did not see as much of Lou as we would have liked. To Betty and the children, the Class of'33 expresses its sympathy.
