Lou Kobus, field representative and ambassador at large for A.L. Wilson Chemical Co. died Nov. 12 at the age of 81.
Kobus spent his career working in the laundry and drycleaning industry, first as an owner/operator in Lansing, MI, and then briefly as a technician for an industrial laundry manufacturer. He worked for A.L. Wilson for the last 28 years.
“Lou was a familiar and welcome face in our industry, always wearing a smile and telling a joke, and oftentimes sporting a pony-tail under his cowboy hat,” said Fred Schwarzmann, president of AL Wilson.
He parlayed his skills as a born entertainer and gifted accordion player into a second career as a much-sought-after supper-club performer.
Kobus is survived by his wife, Irene, two sons and a daughter-in-law.
A Memorial Mass was held at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church in Plano, TX, on Nov. 27, 2009. Memorials may be made to the charity of one’s choice.
