Louis was born in the Mennonite community of Warwick River that would later become part of the Hampton Roads Peninsula. After serving in the War as a medic, he returned home to start a construction business with his dad and four brothers appropriately called, Nice Brothers. They went on to be responsible for extensive home building in the area. In mid-life, he sold out his share of Nice Brothers to return to his passion, farming. He bought his first farm in James City Country & several years later, NiceView Farm in Charles City County where he resided until his death. Louis liked to say that he had a great life. That he had done all of his life just exactly as he wanted to do. He left here the same way, at home on his farm surrounded by all of his children, with so much pride & dignity. Job well done, Dad. Godspeed to greener pastures. There will be a celebration of life at one o'clock on Tuesday, November 12, 2019 at Corinth United Methodist Church, 23 W. Williamsburg Road, Sandston, VA 23150. There will be no visitation & burial will be private in a family cemetery at NiceView. In lieu of flowers, for those who so desire, contributions can be made to the Pastors Discretionary Fund of Corinth UMC.
