PAUL RIVERS "DICK" ANGELLOZ,  A native of Grosse Tete, he died Thursday

1926. Visiting at St. Joseph Catholic Church Hall, Grosse Tete, on Sunday, Nov. 
26, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Visiting resumes at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 
Grosse Tete, on Monday, Nov. 27, from 8:30 a.m. until Mass of Christian Burial 
at 10 a.m., celebrated by the Rev. Joseph Arogyasami. Interment in Rosedale 
Cemetery. He is survived by his wife of nearly 56 years, Mary Helen Reulet 
Angelloz of Rosedale; three daughters, Christine Angelloz and Melanie Angelloz, 
both of Baton Rouge, and Jennifer Angelloz Gates and husband Tim of Acworth, 
Ga.; three beloved grandchildren, Regan Anne, Holly Claire and Grant Rivers 
Gates; a brother and sister-in-law, Charles Arthur "Cha Cha" and Rita David 
Angelloz of Grosse Tete; numerous nieces, nephews and godchildren. He was 
preceded in death by his parents, Arthur Albert "Coon" and Mary Evelina "NaNa" 
Bossier Angelloz, who were of Grosse Tete; his son, Paul Reginald Angelloz, who 
was of Baton Rouge; his sister and brother-in-law, Mary Elizabeth Angelloz 
Perry and Julius Perry, who were of Grosse Tete. He volunteered for service in 
World War II instead of waiting to be drafted. He was a disabled U.S. Navy 
veteran who proudly served his country in the Pacific Theatre as a Seaman 1st 
Class and a Fireman 1st Class on the AM-233 USS Facility. He was disabled on 
April 6, 1945, when his ship was hit by a Japanese suicide bomber. His ship 
picked up 35 survivors from the USS Kidd. Dick Angelloz was deeply concerned 
about the education and welfare of all children. He proudly served as a member 
of the Iberville Parish School Board from 1968 to 1998 when he retired. He held 
the same seat that his father had held from 1924 until his death in 1968. Their 
combined 74 years of service represents the longest time an elected school 
board seat was held by the same family in Louisiana. He was proud to have 
served. He was also a longtime member of the board of directors of the Bank of 
Maringouin. His service began July 3, 1973, and continued until his death. 
Daddy was a lifelong farmer beginning with the family potato farm before World 
War II and later dairy cattle before transitioning to beef cattle farming. He 
raised beef cattle for more than 30 years before retiring from farming. Anyone 
who knew him knew of his love of hunting, fishing and gardening. He enjoyed 
being close to nature and working the land. He was an avid hunter, especially 
deer, and an expert marksman, a carryover from his days in the U.S. Navy. He 
frequently shared what he brought in, especially in the 1930s and 1940s, with 
people who did not have other meat. He viewed his garden with great pride and 
the vegetables it produced with great joy and was glad to share it with others. 
To him, it was a form of ministry. He had been blessed with so much; he wanted 
to share it with others. In his lifetime, Dick Angelloz was a member of the 
Louisiana School Board Association, the Louisiana Cattleman's Association, the 
National Rifle Association, the Louisiana Farm Bureau, the American Legion, the 
Disabled Veterans Association and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. He was proud to 
be a lifetime Charter Member of the National World War II Memorial in 
Washington, D.C. He believed and cared very strongly that this memorial should 
be built. Pallbearers will be Jimmy Angelloz, J.A. Dupuy Jr., Tim Gates, Wylie 
B. Jewell Jr., A.B. "Happy" Perry and Phil Pevey. Honorary pallbearers are his 
special nephew, Virgil Allan "Tabo" Angelloz, members of the board of directors 
of the Bank of Maringouin, past and present, and members of the Iberville 
Parish School Board with whom he served. Special thanks to his dedicated, 
compassionate caregivers, Rose Minniefield, Tracey Lay, Dee Dee Johnson, Ebonie 
Jones and Darlene King. We will always treasure your kindness to our family. 
Thanks are extended also to Bryan's Pharmacy, McGee's Pharmacy and Acadian 
Ambulance for the many times they assisted us. He served so proud and strong in 
so many ways throughout his life. He touched so many and will be missed by so 
many but none more greatly than his family. In lieu of flowers, Daddy would 
prefer memorial donations be made to the Disabled American Veterans, National 
Headquarters, P.O. Box 14301, Cincinnati, OH 45250-0301 or http://www.dav.org. 
Wilbert's Funeral Home, Port Allen, is in charge of arrangements.
