Louis H. Branch, Jr.

On Saturday, June 26, 2004 our Father Who Art in Heaven called Louis H. Branch, Jr. home. He died at Lorien Riveside Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. Louis was born on March 17, 1944 in Havre de Grace, MD. He was the devoted son Elizabeth E. Bradley and the late Louis H. Branch, Sr. He was 60.

Louis was a member of the Tabernacle United Methodist Church, Fallston, MD were he dedicated his life to Christ. As a youth, he was a member of the choir and served as treasurer for the United Methodist Youth. He attended Central Consolidated School in Hickory and Douglas High School in Baltimore.
Louis was employed by General Motors for 10 years and operated a Diamond Cab for 30 years in Baltimore, and worked at Schumacher and Seiler, Inc. for a short time on Monument Street.

Louis will always be remembered for his humor, his ability to give directions to any place in Baltimore City (including alleys!), his love of driving (fast!), his love of singing and hearing song, and his love of praising the Lord!
