Louise Harding Fall
Claremont, California
November 17, 1934 — March 5, 2022
Wife, mother, grandmother, businesswoman, pianist, opera and
symphony lover, global traveler, coffee and Godiva truffle lover,
and a very creative and wonderful woman, Louise Harding Fall passed
from this life on Saturday, March 5th, 2022.
Louise was a caring mother to Chris, Ken, and Stuart, of whom she
was very proud. They will carry with them all their lives the
lessons she taught them; continuing even into the final weeks of her
life. Louise was also a loving grandmother to Luna and Rich.
Louise was an accomplished pianist and performed many recitals at
Los Angeles High School, and later at Pomona College in her beloved
town of Claremont. Some of her favorite music included Chopin’s
Scherzo No.3, Handel’s The Harmonious Blacksmith, and Bach’s, Sheep
May Safely Graze. She loved music and relished her season tickets to
the opera and symphony, which she attended with steadfast, and
longtime friends. |
Louise attended Pomona College, UCLA, and later
earned an MS degree in Business from California State University,
Northridge.
In her stellar career, fueled by coffee and passion, Louise worked
tirelessly at the helm for 65 years with her husband Richard Perry
Fall (d. 2000), and her sons, to grow and steer BioQuip Products,
Inc., the largest supplier of entomological equipment worldwide.
Louise treasured working with family, knowing they could have
complete trust in each other as they carried out their various and
integral positions in the business.
Louise loved to travel far and wide, and she did so as often as she
could. From trips to Machu Picchu, the Caribbean and Galápagos
Islands, Costa Rica, Japan, China, Europe, Australia, Great Britain,
and even sailing from the Greek Isles to Turkey, to her fun weekends
in Las Vegas. She lived an inquisitive, explorative, and full life.
Louise was simply a delight to be with. She was a fun and loyal
friend. She shared with them her sharp wit and humor over games of
cribbage and spades, sometimes accompanied by a glass of wine or a
top-shelf margarita. You would always know where Louise was at 7:00
p.m. weeknights as she was an avid Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune
couch participant. Reading crime novels was also a pastime she
enjoyed.
Louise will be deeply missed by family, friends, employees, and
colleagues. Without a doubt, she soared into the universe in one of
her beloved two-door coupes, where she is finally in her rightful
place of honor and can make good on her promise, “When I become
Queen of the Universe, I will be changing some things.”
