Louie was a wonderful cousin and friend to my stepdad, Richard Duroux. They shared a lot during Richard’s life. My daughter, Lorie, was allowed to pick pecans from his yard and always enjoyed her visits. I also enjoyed visiting with Louie when I visited my parents. He was a good man & lived a good life.
Louie and I were first cousins, grew up on the same street in La Marque. His father and my mother were brother & sister. We did not visit often as I lived in Houston most of my life, but we did visit and talk on the phone often.
He was a good man & a quiet man. His home & yard were his pride & joy.
I will miss him very much; I considered him the Westerlage family historian.
RIP, Louie
