Dear Armbruster Family:
Jill and I remember Louis as a quiet man and a gentlemthe an. We all atteneded St Peter’s Evangelical Lutheran Church and helped make it a center piece of Petersburg Section (Corners) of East Scranton. We had many good times at church during the Golden Age Celebrations, Easter Breakfast, Pot Luck dinners, Pastor Trexler’s pies and many other social events that made St Peter’s a vibrant and active church community. I remember Louis being a big part of it. May he rest in peace in God’s hands and may God’s grace shine upon all of you during this time of sorrow and grief. Cherish his MEMORY!
