Posted By Egan Funeral Home On December 8, 2014 @ 3:59 pm In Obituaries | 36 Comments
The family announces with deep sadness the passing of Louis on December 5, 2014, in his 78th year. Predeceased by his parents, Gervasio and Rachèle Pella, Louis leaves behind his wife, Barbara (née Brake), who loved him deeply, as well as his family of whom he was so proud: Diana and her husband the late Dr. Peter MacDougall, Lori and her husband Rob Quinlan, and son Jean. Cherished papa of Brennan (Kay), Zoë (Barry), Aidan, Maia and his four-legged buddy, Razor. He was the brother of Joe and uncle to many nieces and nephews, especially close to Rob who shared his many interests.
Louis was born in Toulouse, France. He came to Canada when he was 18 and soon met his wife-to-be, Barbara, and they have been together ever since. Retired for 20 years, Louis was passionate about bridge, bowling, hunting and fishing. His favorite place on earth was his cottage on Georgian Bay. He was a trusted and loyal friend to many. He was a wonderful dad. But most of all, Louis adored his grandchildren and they adored him. He will never be gone because he lives in every one of us.
Memorial Mass will be held at St. John The Evangelist Roman Catholic Church, 16066 The Gore Road, Caledon on Tuesday, December 16th at one o’clock. Cremation has taken place and a private family interment will follow at a later date.

Our condolances Barbara to you and your family on the loss of Louis. What a wonderful kind person he was and he leaves and emptiness that will be hard to fill in our Georgian Bay Comunity. We thought of Louis as a wonderful friend in the short time that we got to know him and he will be thought of often as we miss him. We hope to see you continue to spend time on Georgian Bay Barbara so we can enjoy time with you on occasion. Rest in Peace Louis, love Glen and Joyce…
We are so saddened to get the news of Louis’ passing. Our most heartfelt condolances Barbara, to you and your family. We truly enjoyed having Louis for a friend and neighbor and I will never forget the times I spent hunting and fishing with him here in Skerryvore . Louis was a tireless worker for the community, fund raising, getting prizes for the SRA picnics and in honour for all his hard work, we are making a donation to the Community Pavilion Fund in Louis name. He will truly be missed, love Ed and Susan….
A good friend, like an awesome sunset, is hard to find and a treasure to hold.
For 44 years, Louis was just that, my next door Georgian Bay friend and neighbour.
All that was ever needed, were the words
“Lou I need some help.”
And he was there.
He will be deeply missed by all the members of the Foote family
Our condolences to the Pella family

Dear Barbara,
It has been 5 years since I have been here in Alberta, when I think of Skerryvore, I always reflect on the kindness that you and Louis were so generous with. I offer you and your family my deepest sympathies. I know how close you are to your children and grandchildren and that gives me peace of mind that you will support each other in this very difficult time. I will never forget him.
Barb, Diana, Lori, & Jean.
We are so very sorry to hear about Louis. We will miss him everywhere. Bridge in Parry Sound, and at the Ojibway as well as functions in Skerryvore. He was a good friend and neighbour,and always ready to help when he could. The Bridge Club sends condolences to all of you.
My condolences to Louis’ family. The good are called away from us too early in life. I will miss playing bridge with him and the nice chats we used to have. I have no doubt that he is in a better place – playing bridge!
We were saddened to hear of Louis’ passing and we hope that you take some comfort in the many wonderful memories you all have of him as husband, father and Papa.
We will miss Louis a great deal, he always brought sunshine into our lives. He gave without question and was generous to a fault. The Skerryvore Community has lost one of its biggest boosters and that vacancy will be impossible to fill.
Our condolences to Barbara and the whole family. Tom & Sandi
PS – I will miss that glass of wine he always offered me on a visit to your home.
I am so saddened to get the hear of Louis’ passing I truly enjoyed having Louis for a friend I will never forget the times I spent hunting and fishing with him. He will never be forgotten.

Oh Lori, my heart is broken for all of you. I loved how your dad embraced retirement after working so hard all his life. Whole new beginning. Playing bridge. Who knew? My one and only ATv ride was with your dad and I still see him in Florida walking his little dog in the evening. That is one lucky dog to be so loved.
You know how much family means to me and I have always admired a man who loves his family, makes the time for the little moments that we don’t even realize at the time are so precious, and who we know will always be there for us no matter what. That’s how I see your dad.
Your dad will never be gone, he lives in every one of you. His influence on his kids and his grandchildren will go on forever.
Love,
Margie

We were so sorry to hear about Louis. He will be remembered fondly as I always enjoyed our talks on the street. He was a good man who was always wearing a smile whenever our paths crossed. It was lovely to see him out with Razor and you could always tell how much they loved each other. Louis was always talking about his kids and grandkids with pride. He was a true family man who will be missed. Cherish your memories as they help to get you through.
