Sad news. Gary just called me to say his dad passed away last night. For those who did not know him, Louie rebuilt V8 shocks for a number of years before passing the business to Bill wzorek. Some people referred to him as "No leak Louie" due to the quality of his work.

Great guy and a go to guy here in Connecticut. His shocks were on all my old Fords never had an issue with any of them. God Speed Lou. Pete/Ct.

Sad news indeed for his family. More experience and knowledge just disappeared.

Hate to hear that. He rebuilt several sets of shocks for me over the years. Never met him personally, but a neat guy to talk to when you needed "shocking advice."

Thanks for letting us know Frank. I would always make it a point to stop by and chat with Louie at his Hershey space. By the time I was ready to get some of my '35 shocks rebuilt, Louie had retired, so Bill Wzorek rebuilt them for me, and Bill was a good student of Louie's teachings based on the quality of his rebuilds.

Rest in peace Louie Trinque
