Bernard Louth
Bernard Edward Louth, 81, of Mendon, formerly of Spencerville, passed away peacefully in his home with his daughter and granddaughter, Killyan, caring for him on Friday, April 26, 2024.

He enjoyed spending time with his friends, at flee markets, and with his animals. Bernie cherished his lifelong friendship with Leon Wieter and loved Leon's grandsons like they were his own. He was extremely proud of his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. It was no secret that as a bachelor for the last 30-plus years, Bernard was quite the ladies man and always wanting to know what time it was.
