Nelson and several family members - all waiting to welcome him home. Lou, as he was affectionately known, was born on October 26, 1960, to Ronald and Stacie Leiferman in Yakima, Washington. He enjoyed helping others, at age 10 he started reading and collecting comic books, assembling model cars and trucks, he loved working on cars with his brother Kevin, watching NASCAR, and calling his sister Nancy when something exciting happened. Louis was a good guy. He loved to be called for help if you needed a handyman, he enjoyed coloring, and hanging out with his great nieces Sophia and Grace and great nephews Isaac (little buddy) and Danny. He will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by his siblings: Mary (Paul) Budge, Melissa (Rick) Hayes, Kevin (Rolonda) Widenmeyer, Effie Lyons, Nancy Waddell, Andrew Leiferman, Ron Leiferman Jr., George Munn, Allen Munn, Patty Munn and Billy Lee and numerous nieces and nephews.
