Louis John Scieszka, father of six boys, husband for over sixty years, educator, golfer (namesake of the Coupe de Lou Classic golf tournament), and friend to pretty much every one he ever met, passed away March 26, 2020 after 93 years of life.
The son of Polish immigrants Michael and Anna Scieszka, Lou was born in Lansing, MI. He earned college and graduate degrees from both MSU and the U of M, met and married Shirley Marie Marchand, then served as principal of Freeman Elementary School in Flint, MI for 30 years while raising that pack of boys.
Lou's two finest talents were to see the best in everyone, and to "not sweat the small stuff." His generous heart, unshakable optimism, good cheer, and crowd control skills also came in handy in both his job as principal, and family dinners.
Lou is survived by his sons Jim, Jon, Tom, Gregg, Brian, Jeff; 14 grandchildren; and at last count, 10 great-grandchildren.
Special thanks to Gregg (brother #4) and caretaker Charlotte Murphy for all their loving work making the end of Lou's life as peaceful as possible.
Because of the current pandemic, there will be no funeral service. But as a WWII Vet, Lou will be buried in Great Lakes National Cemetery in Holly, MI. And as a lifelong Catholic, Lou would probably be happy if you took a moment to say a prayer for him . . . and took a moment to see the best in the next person you meet.
