Louis W. Dunn (“Louie”), 82, of Hatfield, Pa., died suddenly at home, on February 19, 2021.
He married Charlotte (Harbon) Dunn on April 1, 1962. They were married 50 years.
He was born January 24, 1939, in Montgomery Township to Charles and Dorothy Dunn. He had two sisters, Dottie and Linda, and two brothers, Ronald “Sonnie” and Paul.
He proudly served in the Navy from 1956-1960 on the CV-62 Carrier. After the Navy he studied at Phila University on Spring Garden. After receiving his degree, he worked as a Tool and Die Engineer at Lanoco Precision, where he retired.
Among his many hobbies, baseball was probably his favorite. I truly believe he knew every score to every game of every year of every team of every stat of every player on every team. He coached CYO baseball in Lansdale, Pa., from 1964-1976, during those years of coaching his team accomplished State Championship winners.
In later life, you would find my father following the Philadelphia Phillies to Florida to spring training. This was his and his wife’s second home during the the long Pennsylvania winters.
He is survived by his son William, daughter Audrey, grandchildren Laura and Edward and great grandchildren Michael and Ava.
Services are being held at Simcox-McIlvaine Funeral Home, 532 East Main Street, Lansdale PA 19446 on Saturday February 27, 2021 at 12 noon.
In lieu of flowers, donations to The Peak Center, 606 East Main Street, Lansdale PA 19446 or online @ ghnpss.org would be appreciated.
I’m sorry to learn of your Dad, Louie’s passing nearly two years ago. I’d think of him these past few years and wonder how he was getting along, since due to the pandemic, The Peak Center was closed to activities, and I always seemed to run into him there or at WaWa filling up. I’m Pam, Pete and Grace’s eldest daughter (Harbon-Quatraro). If you’d like to friend me on Facebook, you can find me. I feel remiss I didn’t keep on top of reaching out to him of late. My condolences to William, Audrey and the family.

I am your Aunt Carol Sue, ( family call me Sue or Susie) I just connected with your Uncle Sonnie and just found out your dad passed away, I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ve been trying to find my half siblings for years. You can contact me on FB if you’d like. Sincerely, Carol Drabick.
