Louis L. Knickerbocker, who gained fame as the ex-husband of one of
the featured players in the reality show "The Real Housewives of
Orange County," died Tuesday morning after a heart attack, said friend
and show creator Scott Dunlop. Knickerbocker was 67.
The fallout of Knickerbocker's life was replayed on the reality show.
The company he and then-wife Tammy owned went bankrupt in 2000, the
couple lost their 9,000-square-foot home in Coto de Caza, and Tammy
divorced him.
Knickerbocker started his life over at age 62, building a real estate
company, a mortgage company and a 50 percent share in another real
estate company. He also rebuilt his personal life and remarried.
Dunlop, who last spoke to Knickerbocker Monday, characterized him as
an optimist.
"He always believed in the art of the possible," Dunlop said. "He
believed it was all possible. He was a unique guy."
Knickerbocker graduated from Santa Monica College and served as an
Army paratrooper from 1959 to 1961. He is survived by his wife,
Netdao, and seven children: Louis L., Louis D., Jason, Aleshia,
Ashley, Meagan and Lindsey. Services are pending.
