Louis A. Svette
February 21, 1923 — February 21, 2015
Louis A. Svette, 92, of Aurora, Ohio passed away on Saturday, February 21, 2015 at Kensington Care Center.
Louis was born September 17, 1922 to Mary (nee Mulh) and Frank Svette in Bedford, Ohio. He attended East Technical High School where he studied machining. During World War II, he served in the U.S. Army Air Corps. Louis married his wife Madeline (nee Stepic) on July 24, 1948 and they raised three children. He was skilled at many trades and built two of the homes in Ohio in which his family lived. In 1978, he and his wife moved to southern California, where they lived for 32 years. Louis worked as a machinist for most of his life until his retirement in 1986. Declining health brought him and his wife back to Ohio in 2010 to be near family.
Louis enjoyed traveling. He and his family spent many summer vacations visiting U.S. national parks. He was an avid outdoorsman and liked to camp and fish. Louis was a loyal Browns, Indians and Cavaliers fan and rarely missed a televised game. He enjoyed playing cards, listening to live polka music, doing crafts and playing bingo. Louis was a member of Faith Lutheran Church of Kent and American Legion Post 496.
