Louis Blohm, 84, passed away Nov.2, 2020 in New Horizons Care Center, Lovell, Wyoming.  Born May 13, 1936 in Beulah, North Dakota to Fredric Blohm and Mamie Miller Blohm. He and his twin sister Lois were born last of 14 children.

After leaving ND the family moved to Saint Xavier, MT then settled in Bridger MT.  Louie attended school in Bridger. He completed the 8th grade and then worked for the railroad in Laurel, prior to joining the Army where he served in Germany. 

Upon returning from his Army service, he renewed his acquaintance with Mae Osborn who lived in Cowley, WY.  They were married and Mae brought to that marriage, a daughter Connie. Louie loved to tell others that she had chosen him to be her father and so he adopted her. They were joined by Julie who was born a couple of years later. Louie loved to show off his beautiful daughter. But he didn't stop there with his love, he took into his heart nieces and nephews and many young people who came his way. Louie's capacity to love was big. He was a devoted husband. When Mae became too ill to be at home, despite his difficulties with walking he went every day to see her.

Louie worked for CS Lewis, and the Lovell Sugar factory. One of his favorite jobs was driving the Dinky, the little engine that pulled railroad cars in and out of the Factory.  His daughters loved to take  small rides with him.  He was later employed with American Colloid until he retired.

Louie Liked to fish, hunt, watch westerns, and loved dancing. He and Mae would attend square dances most weekends in their early married years. Later in life he loved his word search puzzles, spending time at the Senior Center in Lovell, and with friends at the  Branding Iron. He and Mae were Senior Citizens VIP  2018.

Most all he was proud of his family. Louie attended his children's school events and went on to film his grandchildren’s sporting events including travelling around the state following them.  

Despite some hardships in his younger years with his mother, Mamie dying when he was around age 9 , Louie chose to be a happy, optimistic person. He was quick with a laugh and was kind to many. His Cowley friends recalled his willingness to mow lawns, give rides and over all be a friend. He joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and had much fellowship there. People recognized his red pickup as he and Mae were seen in the area.
