Louis S. Szuch

Niles – Louis S. Szuch, 83, passed away on Wednesday, September 9, 2020 at Lake Vista Cortland.
Louis was born on August 14, 1937 in Leechburg, PA, the son of the late Joseph S. and Julia H. (Palczer) Szuch. He married the love of his life, Elizabeth “Bette” Takach, on February 28, 1958 and they shared 62 wonderful years together.
For 39 years, Louis worked for General Motors Lordstown as an electrical engineer. He was a hard-working man who enjoyed being busy. He loved cars and sports, especially the Buckeyes. He enjoyed coaching the little league team and making furniture, he was quite the craftsman. Even though Louis loved all of these things, there was nothing that he loved more than his family; they were everything to him.
Louis was known for his quick wit, infectious smile and his kind, compassionate spirit. He was proud to be an American who served in the United States Air Force from 1958 until 1962.
Louis will be missed dearly by wife Bette; his children Jeff (Kim) Szuch of Charleston, SC and Kelle (Bill) Cohol of Niles, OH; his grandchildren Eric (fiancé Jamie Lockwood) Szuch of Charleston, SC and Dael Szuch of Atlanta, GA; his brother Donald (Dianne) Szuch; his sister-in-law Barb Szuch of Machesney Park, IL; his nieces Holly (Will) Sandy, Heather (Dave) Bellian, and Heidi (Hank) Graber; his cousins David (Michelle) Szuch and Leigh Ann (Jody Chandler) Szuch; and many other family and friends.
Besides his parents, Louis is preceded in death by his brother Robert Szuch.
