About Lou[]
Lou Powers is Mel Powers and Jack Powers' older brother, who created the company health plan. An accountant by profession,Lou is known to be a real "financial genius" according to Benny. He quit the company to spend more time with his family, but they deserted him; he still is on the Powers Bros. company payroll, as he gets a check each pay cycle, as he is still a minority investor in the company. In his only appearance the show, George meets with Lou at Thrrsty's, and solicits him for advice in revising the Powers Bros. health plan when Max complained about his braces, which almost put Lou and he at odds with Mel and Jack.
While Benny remembered Lou as a family man, when George meets him Lou says that he is only a family man in the past tense. He describes his current day-to-day routine as sleeping until noon, waking up in his own "sick", and continuing to drink. As for his family, he says his wife left because of his drinking problem. He offers to take off his shirt to show George what a butter knife could do to a man with "enough hate behind it."
Trivia[]
- Once, the Powers Brothers hired their niece to be George's co-manager for a short time. She could have been one of Lou's children (since he seems elderly) because Jack and Mel do not appear to have any children (besides Zack Powers). Lou also said his family deserted him, and this seems to fit her character. This has not been confirmed.
