It has served Bainbridge Island and the Kitsap Peninsula with distinction. You can’t place a $ value on this kind of loyalty and commitment," he added.

American Marine Bank Founder Dies
 
February 2000
 
 
Louis Henry Goller, founder and past president of American Marine Bank on Bainbridge Island, died February 17, 2000, at the age of 84.

On September 17, 1948 32 year old Louis Goller opened Bainbridge Island’s first bank. Louis fostered its growth to include ten branches by the mid 1970’s. While simultaneously overseeing America Marine Bank, Louis founded and became first President of Whidbey island Bank from 1960-1966. Louis served on eight committees and as President of Washington Bankers Association (1949); on six committees of the American Bankers Association; on two committees and Executive Council at Western Independent Bankers; and on the Executive Council and Legislative Committee of Community Bank of Washington (now a division of Washington Bankers Association).

Louis was active in his community, establishing businesses such as Bainbridge Insurance and serving on boards and committees of local organizations such as Kiwanis (Bainbridge Chapter - first President - founded by him in 1957), Bainbridge Island Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club, Bainbridge Foundation and North Olympic Chamber of Commerce. Louis was a long time active member of St. Barnabas Episcopal Church on Bainbridge Island.

Louis enjoyed people and taught a personal approach to banking. He believed in providing a community service rather than viewing his profession as merely running a business.

Louis is survived by wife Gloria and the couple’s three sons, Dave of Kauai, Hawaii; Jeffrey of Poulsbo, Washington and Joel of Shoreline, Washington; nine grandchildren and four great grandchildren.
