Louis and Heidi now own the trikes and will forever. ~Rupp Rupp and away!!!Lou had a natural talent for swimming and billiards. He won multiple medals as a teen competing at the YMCA. He swam a mile every weekday morning at the South Portland Pool for over 10 years. Lou’s billiards skills were incredible. He could have easily gone “Pro”.He was the “Coolest Dad” a kid could have.
