John R. Louks, 92, of Frankfort, passed away Friday, March 22, 2019 at his residence. He was born January 24, 1927 in Carmel to John F. and Mary (Clark) Louks. He was attended school in Zionsville and Pickard. He served in the United States Navy in two terms, serving in both World War II and the Korean War. In 1961 he married Shirley Curnutt, she survives.
John worked for Del Monte until they relocated, and then retired from Harold Stowers Trucking after 30 years. He was a member of the Sheridan Christian Church, the American Legion, and the VFW. He enjoyed gardening and feeding his critters. He had a good natured tormenting sense of humor, and driving was in his blood.
