Louis Kossuth
July 26, 1948 - November 14, 2019
We received some sad news on Tuesday night.
Louis Kossuth, one of our own, was found unconscious on the floor of his shop. CPR was started and 911 was called. He was transferred to Auburn Sutter but the prognosis isn’t good. Louis has been transferred to better evaluate his very critical condition. He has suffered a heart attack and has sustained serious brain damage.
Louis’s daughter, mom, sisters and brother are all with him at this time. As of this morning there is still no brain activity and he is on all the machines, most likely the family will make the hard decisions!
Please keep Louis and his family in your thoughts and if you pray please pray as this is a devastating lost for them.
If anyone wants more information or would like to send will wishes etc., please contact us and we will get you the information that you will need.
-----
Good evening,
It is with deep sadness that we received word this afternoon at approximately 3:30 pm that Louis Kossuth has passed away.
Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers!
