Louis served as a pastor for 28 years, with Doris at as side, first at Christ's Bible Church in Hamilton, Montana, then Mossyrock Community Church, Mossyrock, Washington and Rome Community Bible Church, Bellingham, Washington before retiring. Louis was completely dedicated to the Lord and to serving Him. He set such a good example for his sons and for his grandchildren, raising them to love the Lord, being ever supportive and showing great interest in all of their activities. He never lost interest in raising livestock and planting gardens and passed that knowledge on to his family.   Louis was preceded in death by his wife, Doris, his parents, his brother, Don, and his sister Miriam Yost Maio. He is survived by his four sons, 18 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. Private family interment will be held at Greenacres Cemetery on Wednesday, October 6, 2021.
