Louis Jasek entered this world as a bright blue-eyed redheaded baby boy on September 11, 1916. He left this life as a sweet, silver haired giant of a man after 90 years of sunrises, on February 25, 2007. Louie was a real optimist and was well known for saying How Sweet it is at some point in every conversation. And he truly believed life was sweet. He was so easy going and really enjoyed the simple things in life. He had more friends than you could shake a stick at And when he was at a wedding or dance, as long as the band was playing, he was on the dance floor. Yes, he was the last man standing and wouldnt say no if a lady wanted a dance. He was the oldest of 8 boys and was very proud of his Czech heritage and looked forward to the church feast at Praha every year on August 15th. Louie was the head cook on the USS Copahee, an aircraft carrier, during WWII. He retired from Pearl Brewery after working 36 years as a mechanic and he could fix anything. He went on to work another 17 years at St. Margaret Marys Church and school. He married Irene Dusek in May 1999 and his family grew to 12 children and step-children. Dad had lots of grandchildren, and great-grandchildren and had so much love in his heart for us all. Louie was preceded in death by his first wife of 27 years, Zita, and second wife of 28 years, Theresa. He also was preceded in death by his son, Jimmy, and great-granddaughter, Madeline. Dad was a real role model and a man of great faith. We will miss him dearly. Louis Jasek entered this world as a bright blue-eyed redheaded baby boy on September 11, 1916.
