Formerly of Pitcairn, a long-time resident of Michigan, age 93, died on Saturday, December 27, 2025. He was raised in Pitcairn and was a 1948 graduate of Pitcairn High School where he served as President of his Senior Class. Lou then attended Duquesne University and after graduation, he entered the U.S. Army and served as a 1st Lt. Medic during the Korean War. Upon his discharge from the Army, he enrolled in Carnegie Mellon University and earned another degree. Lou became an Industrial Designer & later co-owner of Sundberg & Ferar Design in Detroit.
Lou was the youngest of his 6 siblings and he always took the time to spend occasions with them, either at family gatherings, traveling for special events or visiting interesting places. He enjoyed golfing and boating, having lived on Pontiac Lake for many years and recently living at Dunham Lake. We certainly will miss our visits with Uncle Lou.
