June 23, 1967-March 10, 2026
Lou S. Cimino, 58, a man of boundless energy and even greater heart, passed away peacefully at his home in Boyertown on Tuesday, March 10, 2026. To know Lou was to know a man full of love and devotion to family, friends, and his career. His tireless spirit for life was infectious to those around him.
A proud electrician of IBEW for 24 years, Lou was a master of all trades. He was a perfectionist at all he touched and a problem solver. He was the first person his family and friends called when in a bind. He always arrived with tools in hand, a smile, and a willingness to stay until the job was done right. His ability to “light up” the world was simply an extension of his generous soul.
Lou’s greatest passion was the family he built and protected. He was a devoted husband to Michelle Marie (LaCoy) Cimino for 27 years. Together they shared a love and passion for each other that was everlasting. They cherished each other immensely with a love that filled their souls as one.
The Heart of the Family
As a father, his pride for his daughter, Lauren, was immeasurable. He was her rock and her teacher. He was always there for her every minute of every day. As a brother, his love ran deep and strong, and he was always ready if he was needed for anything that came up.
Lou also shared a genuine loving relationship with his parents, Louis J., Jr., and Alice - a son who never forgot where he came from and who remained a devoted presence in their lives. The values they instilled in him as a boy - integrity, kindness, and the importance of family - were the very qualities that defined him as a man. To his parents, he was not just a son, but a constant source of love and a helping hand they could always rely on.
A Life Lived Out Loud
Lou lived life at full volume. Music pulsed through his veins. The louder and harder the better. Old and new heavy metal filled his playlist. He and Michelle went to several concerts, rocking and partying through their lives. Vacations in Las Vegas, Arizona, and the islands were always on their calendar. The love of sports and football was a hobby of his. As was working around the house and relaxing in his beautiful backyard oasis he built. He and Michelle spend peaceful evenings together talking of their future and plans while enjoying the home they built together. Old movies and their hot tub was one of their favorite pastimes.

Lou is survived by his beloved wife, Michelle; his daughter, Lauren M. Cimino (Joseph Elsass); his parents, Louis J., Jr., and Alice (Polinitz) Cimino; his sister, Stacey Stuart; his brother, Anthony Cimino (Theresa Cimino); and his goddaughter and niece, Ashley Cimino.
