Louis Frank Streich, the son of Frank and Sarah (Krumm) Streich, was born on June 15, 1935, in Charles City. He graduated from Charles City High School. After high school, Louis served in the United States army as a mechanic from 1959-1965. Louis worked at White Farm for many years until their closing.

Louis was united in marriage to Sharon Swacker on March 26, 1960, in Floyd County. To this union five children were born: Lonnie, Rick, Carrie, Christie, and Rory. Louis was a member of Saint John Evangelical Lutheran Church. He enjoyed fishing in his younger years and working on cars in his garage. Throughout Louis’ life, his best friend was his twin brother, Lloyd. They did everything together, and as they got older, they talked on the phone numerous times a day. Louis and Lloyd would reminisce about their time working at White Farm, chat while they played computer games together, or talk about the latest political news. Lloyd and his wife, Marlys, were always there for Louis and Sharon, and vice versa, and especially took care of Louis after Sharon’s passing in 2023.
