text: Lou had both a zest for life and a strong faith evident in everything he did. He felt it important to take time for volunteering, and did so in many ways, in the church and in the community. Lou very recently enjoyed helping carve out walking/ski trails in Preeceville and loved hearing trail reports from family, friends, and passers-by. He loved to be physically active in many sports activities, especially cross-country skiing and curling. He also enjoyed his wood crafting hobby and being a neighborhood handyman and problem solver. Although he didn't go as often as he would have liked, Lou loved fishing, both with family and his friends. Sharing jokes and stories were a big part of Lou's life.
  Lou was predeceased by his parents, Melvin in 1963 and Anna in 2010, his parent’s in-law, Fred and Nettie Czornobay in 2015, sister in law Dianne Czornobay in 2007, brother in law Andy Clark in 2006, and brother in law Alvin Romanchuk in 2017.
