“PawPaw” as he was affectionately known by all, loved spending time with his family and friends. He had a love for the outdoors. In the summer, he could be found in his vegetable garden in his backyard, growing Creole tomatoes or crabbing and trawling at his camp, on Lake Pontchartrain. In the winter, you could find PawPaw with his sons, sons-in-law and grandsons rabbit and deer hunting or out on the back patio opening a sack of salty oysters.
He welcomed everyone to his table and never knew a stranger. What he loved best was spending time in The Word of God, The Bible. PawPaw was a prince of a man, a true man of God, a wonderful Christian role model. His Christ-like values, unconditional love and wisdom, impacted many lives. His legacy will live on through the love he gave to so many. PawPaw will be greatly missed by all.
