Louis Vasity

Louis Vasity (Ljubomir Vasic), 100, of Manheim, entered his eternal rest on Monday, January 25, 2021. He was on Hospice for several months and slipped away peacefully to join his wife, Helen (Bisreka) (nee Krstin) Vasity.

Born in Romania on March 8, 1920, he was the son of the late Velimir and Persida Vasic. He and his family came to America for a better life where he also shared his home with his late brother Mike Vasity. Louis was a WW II Army veteran and served his country with pride. His profession as a barber kept him away from most of the harshness of the war, but he had many stories to tell of his experience. On May 18, 1946, he met the love of his life, his late wife, Helen (Biserka) Krstin. Together they spent 74 glorious years together until her passing in October 2019. First living in New Jersey, then Jonestown where they spent many long years with their two dogs, and many visits from their family and friends. Louis then moved to Gretna Springs where he made many new friends and closer to church.

Lou enjoyed tinkering around his home and telling his many stories to anyone who would listen. He spent many years watching his 19 godchildren grow up and become adults and have children of their own. Lou was very active in St. Nicholas Serbian Eastern Orthodox Church in Oberlin. He was a member of the choir, the Serbian Club, as well as the Seniors. Lou was always good for a hug and many kisses for anyone who wanted or needed it. He was always available for family and friends offering his time, love, and also haircuts. Many days he could be found sitting on his porch talking to his neighbors and friends.

Louis is survived by his nephews, Nicholas and Daniel Vlaisavljevic; niece, Desanie Miller and her husband, Robert; grand-nephew, Benjamin Miller; grand-niece, Rachel Miller; Ermina Guth and her husband, Daniel and their precious child, Nadia; numerous friends and relatives.
