(Louis played a major role in operating The Theroux Development Company, which owns Windmill Trailer Park and a golf course in Holt. Louis shared his treasure hunting love of auctions with his brother Frank, the founder of the company.)
The farm home of Louis and Jean in Holt resembled the Douglas house on the TV series "Green Acres" and included a kitchen window which gave Jean a clear view of their driveway. "I had no idea," she said, "what I might be seeing Louis drive in with. It could be a steam shovel, an ambulance, an ice cream truck -- almost anything." Then she'd laugh and start talking about her own idea of collectables -- such as wicker furniture.
When her sister-in-law, Marjorie Theroux, died in 1987, Jean came by to comfort the family. She came up to Marjorie's son, Gary, and quietly said, "You know, your mother isn't really completely gone."
"What do you mean?" replied the griefstricken Gary. "I was there talking to her when she died."
"But she's not competely gone," continued Jean, with soft reassurance. "The best parts of her are living on -- in you and your brother and your sister. Your mother will still see the future. Only it will be through your eyes."
