Louis L. Hollowell, soldier, CG&E; worker
Louis L. Hollowell had two great constants in his life.
The Fort Thomas man, who died Friday at age 86, started working for the Cincinnati Gas and Electric Co. when he was 18 years old. He became an assistant manager in materials management and stayed with the company until he retired at 66.
It was the only job he would ever have, said his wife, Orell Hollowell.
When Mr. Hollowell got the job, he was living in Franklin County, Ind., where he was born. He moved to Newport and stayed with his uncle for a while.
He attended the Congregational Church in Newport with his uncle, and that's where he met his future wife, who was only 16.
They married
after her graduation from high school, and stayed married
for more than 66 years, until his death.
During World War II, Mr. Hollowell served in the Army, and worked in the Supreme Allied Headquarters in London. At the end of the war, he flew into Berlin on a plane with Gen. Dwight Eisenhower. Mr. Hollowell was a past commander of the James Wallace Costigan Post No. 11 of the American Legion in Newport.
He was a very quiet man, and a good provider, his wife said. He enjoyed growing vegetables in his garden until his lungs, weakened by a near-fatal bout with histoplasmosis, started to give out.
