Louis Theodore Breuer, always gave helping hand
Louis Theodore Breuer wasn't a traditional "people person."

It was during his work with the Florence Lions Club, where he was once named officer of the year, that he met his second wife, Penny.
"He was just a really nice, down-to-earth guy," his wife said. "He didn't have a lot of hobbies, so he spent most of his time working with all the different charities in the area."
