Louis Belille gave new life to old shoes
For nearly a half century, owners brought worn-out loafers and beat-up oxfords to Dave's Shoe Repair in St. Louis Park for the cobbler to breathe new life into their tired footwear.
It wasn't Dave who put on new heels, sewed on new soles or shined the leather. It was Louis Belille,[url=http://parajumpersonline.webmium.com/][b]Kodiak Jackets Online PARAJUMPERS[/b][/url], who quietly practiced his craft of reviving old shoes in his shop on the 4400 block of Excelsior Boulevard.
"Everybody thought his name was Dave and they'd say,[url=http://duveticamen.blogspot.com/][b]http://duveticamen.blogspot.com/[/b][/url], 'Hi Dave,'" said his daughter Joyce Orstadius,[url=http://woolrichjacket.webmium.com/][b]http://woolrichjacket.webmium.com/[/b][/url], of Fridley. "He was artistic, and was proud of his quality craftsmanship,[url=http://woolrichswedense.gengfl.com/][b]http://woolrichswedense.gengfl.com/[/b][/url], of making shoes look beautiful again."
Belille died of undetermined causes March 11 at his home in Minneapolis. He was 74,[url=http://parajumpersoutletitalia.albirank.net/][b]http://parajumpersoutletitalia.albirank.net/[/b][/url].
He fixed shoes for celebrities such as television personality Mel Jass and KMSP TV news anchor Robyne Robinson. Former Minnesota Vikings Coach Mike Tice stopped in,[url=http://duveticaukoutlet.halod.com/][b]Duvetica Down Jackets[/b][/url], as did his fishing pal Roger Awsumb,[url=http://woolrichjacket.webmium.com/][b]discount 2013 Woolrich Woolrich Jackets Woolrich® The Original Outdoor[/b][/url], who played railroad engineer Casey Jones on the show "Lunch With Casey," which aired on WTCN TV (now KARE). "When I carelessly addressed him as Dave,[url=http://monclerjacketsoutlet.albirank.net/][b]Moncler Outlet Online Store Moncler down jackets Moncler jackets on sale[/b][/url], he would gently reply,[url=http://duveticaukoutlet.halod.com/][b]Duvetica UK[/b][/url], 'My name is Louis.' He was a sweet man."
Belille's foray into shoe repair started while he attended Vocational High School in Minneapolis. He was a talented artist and had dreams of becoming a mechanical engineer,[url=http://giuseppezanottioutlets.webmium.com/][b]Giuseppe Zanotti Sneakers outlet sale[/b][/url], but had to help support his family. He went into the shoe repair business,[url=http://duveticaoutlet.albirank.net/][b]http://duveticaoutlet.albirank.net/[/b][/url], working nights and weekends, and after high school took classes at Minneapolis Community and Technical College, said his ex-wife,[url=http://parajumpersonline.webmium.com/][b]PJS Jackets Shop Sale[/b][/url], Carol Malenofski.
In 1962,[url=http://duveticaukoutlet.halod.com/][b]Duvetica Jackets UK Outlet Duvetica Down Jackets For Men Store[/b][/url], he bought Dave's Shoe Repair,[url=http://billigamonclerjackasverige.albirank.net/][b]Billiga Moncler Jacka Dam Outlet Sverige Moncler Dunjacka online rea Du Njuter Imponerande Vinter[/b][/url], and kept the name. He worked six days a week and ran the shop up until the day he died. The shop's future is undetermined,[url=http://duveticaukoutlet.halod.com/][b]Duvetica Jackets UK Outlet[/b][/url], family members said.相关的主题文章：
