Louis married the love of his life, Dorothy Dailey on July 14, 1961, and they enjoyed almost 63 years of matrimony. This union produced three beautiful daughters, nine grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren.

Louis spent most of his career working at the family owned Bramblett Auto Parts salvage business either as owner/operator, partner or parts delivery. He loved the business, his employees and the association of salvage yard operators whom he cherished as business partners and friends. Louis served as marketing director for the nationwide group of the Automotive Recyclers Assn. as well as member and past president of the Carthage Kiwanis Club. Later in life Louis expanded his Christian outreach by associating with The Gideons International. He enjoyed spreading the name of Jesus on college campuses while handing out Gideon Bibles and speaking in local churches about the Gideon message and the message of Jesus Christ. He enjoyed Bible discussions, especially with his grandchildren as he focused to make sure his grandchildren were believers.
