His fondest memories were from his 27 years in the Marine Corps. He traveled to several countries during his service, and he loved to share stories about his Marine Corps days with his friends and family.
He loved to run several miles per day and was in the best shape of his life! He also had a passion for computer programming which led him to a career in Engineering in Dallas once he retired from the military.
Lou and his family moved to Plano, Texas in 1978, and they have been in Plano ever since. He and his wife Yoshi along with some friends went to every Plano Wildcats football game, even the out-of-town games, for years.
Lou loved his wife Yoshi more than anything else in life. He never cared to do anything without her which meant that he always passed on after-work activities or "guy's night out." He wanted to be at home with Yoshi, Ken and Maria for a sit-down dinner every night and was a true family man. He was active in assisting with homework, science fair projects as well as driving his kids to different extracurricular activities and walking the dogs every day! His dogs were walked 365 days a year, rain or shine.
The 2 most important things that he instilled in his children were to be financially responsible and to always do the right thing. He did everything that he could for his family which was his top priority.
Lou is survived by his wife Yoshi, son Ken, daughter Maria (Chris) and 3 grandchildren (Kellyn, Kenny, Kenley-Grace) as well as his brother Bill Acosta (Connie) and sister Carmen Carter. He is also survived by son Rene Acosta (Debra), Michelle Puckett (Kenneth), Adrienne Lampkin-Cox (J.R.) and 7 additional grandchildren.
There will be a mass to celebrate Louis' life on Friday, December 31, 2010 at 10:30 a.m. at St Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church in Plano, 2700 W Spring Creek Pkwy, Plano, TX 75023. Burial will follow at Dallas-Ft Worth National Cemetery.
