grandfather, brother, uncle and friend, passed away May 13, 2005 at his home
in the Sugar House area of Salt Lake City. He was born in Woodside, Utah, in
1917 to Fred and Ambrosina Bonza. He graduated from Carbon High School in
Price, Utah and went on to the University of Utah. He joined Lockheed Aircraft
Corporation in 1941. That same year he married his first wife, Mary Elizabeth
Beveridge of Price, Utah, and had two sons, Charles and Edward. Lou worked
until retirement at Lockheed in the Skunk Works as a key contributing
mechanical engineer for the high altitude aircraft designs of the U-2 and
SR-71 spy planes used before the age of satellites. He retired to Salt Lake
City near his favorite university, where he lived for the last 33 years.
During this time, neighbors, friends and family appreciated his active work at
fixing anything and everything. Many tried to stump him with a project and he
was pleased that somehow he always figured it out. After his first wife, Mary,
passed away, he was most fortunate to have a great lady named Gwen enter his
life and they have been married for 16 years. Traveling together to France,
South Africa, New Zealand, and Australia, they built a fine set of memories
and adventures. Lou is survived by his wife, Gwen; two sisters, Adele Carlow
of Price, Utah and Josephine Vieta of Salt Lake City; Chuck (wife Dale) and Ed
his two sons; and three granddaughters, Wendy, Tami and Nicole. Always looking
forward, friend to all, and always eager to help are just a few phrases that
characterize what people remember and say about Lou. We celebrate his life and
will miss him dearly. Services will be held Wednesday, May 18, 2005 at 2 p.m.
in the Larkin Sunset Lawn Chapel, 2350 E. 1300 So., where family and friends
