We were buddies growing up , a lot of fun times we had back then ! I think he refused to grow up and life passed on at his own pace ! I always tried to stop by and see him when I was up ! He was always laughing about some thing or someone we knew and what had happened back years ago RIP Louis ! I never called him mayor , we were friends

Several years ago during an election my cousin printed a sign and placed it in Mayors yard. It said "Mayor for Mayor."
Louis thought that was so funny as well as Clarkridge residents that drove by his house. He could always come up with something funny. There was only one Louis. He will never be replaced, He will forever be known as Mayor.

Mayor was such a kind & ornery neighbor, always full of fun! I fondly smile when I think of him meeting me at the mailbox on the lawn mower to discuss the community news. Thank you for being a good grocery shopping buddy to my Daddy-RIP

The position, of Mayor of Clarkridge, likely will remain unfilled. Who could ever fill that honorary post as well as 'Mayor'; whose qualifications were- friendship, humility, humor, and love of his roots
