Louis Allen Lindmeyer Jr. was born on May 21, 1951 in New Ulm to Louis and Doris (Clyne) Lindmeyer. He graduated from New Ulm High School in 1969, where he then went on to attend Mankato Vocational Technical College. Louie was united in marriage to the love of his life, LuAnn Schaefer, on December 17, 1970 in New Ulm. The couple shared over 47 years together and were blessed with three children, who they raised together. Louie spent his working career in the automotive industry. In 1972, he started at McKenzie Motors in New Ulm. Eventually, Louie became a co-owner at Wilke-Lindmeyer. After many years, ownership changed to Wilke-Block, and there Louie found his passion for selling auto parts. His final job change came with Wilke-Block becoming Jensen Motors, where Louie happily managed the Parts Department for over 28 years. When he was not working, Louie took great pride in tracing his genealogy and being an avid photographer. He was a founding member of the German-Bohemian Heritage Society, where he helped to get the German-Bohemian Immigrant statue erected at German Park. He also took many trips over to the Lindmeyer House in the Czech Republic, meeting much of his extended family. Above everything else, Louie truly treasured all the time he was able to spend with his wife, children, grandchildren, and many friends. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him, blessed be his memory.
