Obituary of Louis Gobbi
After a lengthy battle with cancer, Lou passed away in his home on Wednesday, January 24, 2024, just prior to his 81st birthday. He has now been reunited with his beloved wife Lorena (2000). He was a strong and loving father of Greg (Karrie) and April (Stuart) Gregory. Proud Papa of Carla, Aryana, Luca, Kyra, Garrett, Lindsy, Brett and Holly (Delvin), Franceso, and Great-Papa of Delvin, Lorena, and Carson. Lou will be remembered by extended family members and friends. Lou was also predeceased by his parents, Luigi and Helen, also by his daughter JoAnn, and grandson Rocco.Lou was born, raised and spent his life in Welland. He dedicated numerous years of his life to Atlas Steel, happily retiring in the 1990s, leaving behind an indelible mark through his active involvement in the union.
His heart found great joy in the loving company of family at the cottage where they created many memories. A passionate enthusiast of the great outdoors, he reveled in the sport of hunting and fishing. Our family will miss and remember him for crafting a delightful Sunday pasta dinner that became a cherished tradition among family members.
In keeping with his wishes, cremation has taken place. Arrangements have been entrusted to Essentials Cremation and Burial Services Welland. A private family gathering will be held, as well as an interment at Pleasantview Memorial Gardens Cemetery. Donations in memory of Lou can be given to the Walker Family Cancer Centre or Juravinski Cancer Centre.

As a family, we send our love to each of you. Enzo and I have so many memories of great times spent together. The cottage, parties, coffee visits. His stoic demeanor, wisdom and sense of humour. The laughter we’ve shared! Oh, his ability to “string you along”, straight faced and oh so serious, until he lets ya go. Even the least gullible could be caught! Ideas for cottage modifications and to cut down trees cooked up while enjoying beers on the deck. Deep discussions on just about every topic possible.
He was a pillar of strength and love. And he loved you all so deeply. He is in each and every one of you, always. May you all find some peace knowing he is now reunited with Lorena, JoAnn and Rocco.
Greg and Karrie and family. I am very sorry to hear of your loss. He sounds pretty special. My thoughts and prayers are with you and family.
My condolences go out to Louis family. May you find comfort in the fond memories created throughout the years, and knowing that he has reunited with Lorena, the love of his life.
Sorry for loss, my thoughts & prayers are with you n your family 🙏
Our sincere condolences to Greg and Karrie. May his unconditional love and his many memories, stay close to your heart at this difficult time
