Louis J. Pannozzo Jr., 77, of Morgantown Ky. On Tuesday July 31, 2024, Louis lost his battle with cancer and passed away in the care of his family.

He has built several classic cars over the years, instilling the love of automobiles with his daughters and grandchildren. Lou worked hard during his middle years and retired early at age 50 to continue his passion for cars, motorcycles and most things that were 1950’s – 1970’s vintage. Lou spent most of his retired years in Palm Coast, FL, and Morgantown, KY.

Lou was preceded in death by his father, Louis J. Pannozzo and mother Egidia (Addessi).
