His relationship with his brothers Roland Jr, now deceased, and Mitchell were a mainstay of his life. He met his first wife Margaret Wylie in Paris when he was serving active duty in the Army and they married a short time later. They built an active life together, residing first in New Jersey and briefly in Massachusetts. They settled in Hampstead, NH, where they raised four children and were beloved members of the Congregational church.
After graduating with a degree from Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey Louis embarked on a long and creative career, eventually focusing on technology to improve printing presses.
