Harvey Glen Guthrey, departed this life surrounded by friends and family, on 
March 1, 2010, at his home in Lafayette. 

Mr. Guthrey was born of the marriage of Clarence Ward Guthrey and Josephine 
Sutton Guthrey, on March 30, 1918, near the Town of Vinton, La., and it was in 
that same vicinity that he spent the younger years of his life. He attended high 
school in Vinton, and was a member of both the 1935 and the 1936 Vinton High 
School football teams, which not only won the State Class B Football 
Championships both years, but which were amongst only a very few such Louisiana 
football teams to have ever enjoyed consecutive undefeated seasons. 

Mr. Guthrey is believed to have begun his professional career in Sept. 1938 
working at the oil camp known as the Sulphur Mines in Calcasieu Parish. Once 
employed by the Union Sulphur and Oil Company, later known as Union Texas 
Petroleum Corporation, he remained its employee until he retired from his 
position as a Superintendent of Production in 1983. Mr. 

Guthrey married his beloved wife Bernice Elois Pierson, from Kinder, Louisiana, 
in 1940, and remained married to her until her death on Jan. 6, 1999. Mr. and 
Mrs. Guthrey made their first home at the Sulphur Mines Oil Camp, and there 
began raising their three children. In or about 1958, upon the winding down of 
the oil camp, he and his family moved, establishing residency in the town of 
Sulphur, in 1967, they moved to the city of Lafayette.

Mr. Guthrey was a Thirty Second Degree Mason, and, while a resident of the town 
of Sulphur, a member of Henning Memorial Methodist Church. Upon arriving in 
Lafayette, he and his family attended Asbury Methodist Church, where he and his 
wife faithfully served in various capacities, including president of his 
"Challengers" Sunday School Class and as an usher at Sunday Services. He was an 
important contributor in the construction of the Camp Fire Girls' Camp, Wi Ta 
Winton in Calcasieu Parish and instrumental in helping his grandson Andy Boagni 
become an Eagle Scout. He was an avid outdoorsman, enjoying hunting, fishing, 
and gardening.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his beloved wife; and his brother 
William "Bill" Guthrey, of Woodlawn, La. 

Mr. Guthrey is survived by his sister, Margaret Guthrey McBride of Houston; his 
children, Glynda, (Mrs. Quincy Thomas Hinton Jr.) of Kingwood, Texas, Judith 
Guthrey Boagni, and Harvey Ray Guthrey husband of Constance B. Guthrey, of 
Lafayette; eight grandchildren, Christopher Hinton, husband of Tina Hinton, 
Benjamin Hinton, and Catherine Hinton Giffhorn, wife of Andy Giffhorn, all of 
Houston, and Natalie Rae Guthrey of Charlotte, N.C., Pierson Tyler Guthrey a 
student at Tulane University, New Orleans, of S. Carolina and New Orleans, Andy 
and Henry "Hank" Boagni Jr. of Lafayette, and Michael Anthony "Tony" Boagni, 
husband of Victoria Guarisco, of Baton Rouge; and nine great-grandchildren, Hope 
and Hardt Hinton of the Woodlands, Texas, Austin and Braeden Giffhorn of 
Houston, Michael Anthony "Bo" Boagni Jr. of Shreveport, Jessica Page "Jesse" 
Boagni of Lafayette, John Luke Guarisco Boagni and Matthew Michael Guarisco 
Boagni, Austin Luke Guarisco, all of Baton Rouge.

Mr. Guthrey's life was based on the simple premise of hard work. He had a 
wonderful smile, a contagious sense of humor and a loving tender heart.

He could be trusted and trusted nearly everyone (sometimes to a fault). He 
believed that a man's word and a hand shake were the strongest and most binding 
of all contracts. He helped everyone that he could, and would at any time 
deviate from the path he was on to lend a helping hand to someone in need. He 
was a very kind, loving, thoughtful and Godly man. He will be missed, but his 
presence in this world left it a better place. We love you "Poppy."

A Memorial Service honoring his life will be held Saturday, March 7, 2010, at 
Asbury United Methodist Church, at 1:00 p.m., with a reception in the Fellowship 
Hall to follow.

The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations in his memory be made to 
Hospice of Acadiana, 2600 Johnston St., Ste. 200, Lafayette, La 70503 or the 
Challengers Sunday School Class, Asbury Methodist Church, 101 Live Oak Blvd., 
Lafayette, LA 70503.

Dr. Vikram Khoshoo, affectionately known as "Dr. Vik", made New Orleans as his 
home since 1991. He was involved in a fatal accident in the early morning of 
Tuesday, March 2, 2010 on the way to Terrebonne General Medical Center, where he 
worked as the director of the Pediatric Specialty Center for West Jefferson 
Medical Center.

Relatives, friends of the family, colleagues and all those who loved Dr. Vik are 
invited to attend a memorial visitation from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. Saturday at 
Westside/Leitz-Eagan Funeral Home, 5101 Westbank Expressway, Marrero. Interment 
will be private.

He leaves behind his wife, Dr. Monica Dhar; one son, Jay Khoshoo; and a very 
large extended family, friends and patients who will miss him immensely.

This man was definitely a silent hero. Dr. Khoshoo was a true loss to the 
medical profession and a devastating loss to the city of New Orleans.

Dr. Vik leaves behind scores of friends, hundreds of patients and family members 
who were touched by his effluent nature, attention to detail, quick wit, and 
phenomenal humor. Dr. Vik not only treated the physical ailments of his patients 
but was vested in their overall well being.

All of Dr. Khoshoo's accomplishments are too numerous to name. As a pediatric GI 
specialist, he was an international expert on RSV and lung injury. He was a 
leading author on chronic cough and its relationship to reflux. He had over 100 
published articles in North America and internationally. He was on over 10 
editorial boards. Dr. Khoshoo was listed in "Best Doctors in U.S." and "Best 
Doctors in New Orleans." He has received multiple awards including the National 
Merit Scholar. In 1982, he graduated from the King Georges Medical College first 
in his class. Other notable achievements include the best paper award at the 
American College of Chest Physicians national meeting in Montreal, Canada in 
2005 and also the distinguished paper award from the North American Society for 
Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition in 2006. In addition to 
being an MD, he earned a PhD in medical research and even found time to complete 
his Master's in Business Administration from Tulane in 2009.

He was also invited to over 100 grand rounds and lectures at medical 
conferences, hospitals and universities around the world as the keynote speaker. 
Dr. Khoshoo was paramount in the Pediatric Sub-Specialty Clinic at West 
Jefferson Medical Center in New Orleans and would frequently see patients from 
around the state and region.

He was a mentor to students, residents and fellows. He often treated patients 
who could not afford medical care. He helped establish a medical care fund in 
his father's name.

Dr. Vik was actively involved in helping with volunteer efforts post-Katrina and 
was an active member of the House of Blues. His infectious love of life was 
reflected as an amateur wine enthusiast and a low handicap golfer.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the American Red Cross at www.redcross.org or 
Willwoods Community at www.willwoods.org would be appreciated by the family.

seven grandchildren, Randall and wife, Barbara, and Dennis Lynch of Calgary, 
Alberta, Canada and Jacob Lynch of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Jeffery

Lynch, Justin and Katie Duplantis and Michael and Allie Leon; three great-great-

She had a special place in her heart for her sons-in-law, Douglas Lynch of 
Airdrie, Calgary, Canada and Connie Allen of Lafayette; and she will be 
remembered by numerous cousins, nieces, nephews and friends in Houma and 
Lafayette and in the Orange, Texas area.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Elmer and Hildred G. Scales; her 
husband, Justin Duplantis; one daughter, Susan D. Allen; one sister, Betty Jean 
Sanders; and five brothers, J.W., Wallace, Elmer Jr., Gilbert and Richard 
Scales.

She was born in Orange, Texas on Oct. 14, 1921. She loved school, baseball and 
basketball, and riding horses. After high school graduation, she moved with her 
family to Houma and married her husband, Justin Duplantis.

Justin's National Guard unit was mobilized prior to World War II, and they lived 
in a number of states during his training. Opal was proud that she attended 
welding school during the war.

After World War II, Justin was employed in the oilfield, and they lived in 
Harvey, Gretna, Lafayette, Ruston and Houma, McComb, Miss. and Beaumont, Texas. 
Opal moved back to Lafayette in 1978 to care for her husband and her mother. 

Part-time work led to her becoming the first female manager of a chain of 
discount retail stores in Houma. She retired as assistant manager for Lerner, 
Inc, in Lafayette. She then became involved with volunteer work at University 
Medical Center, in their gift shop and on the Volunteer Board. Opal held the 
offices of president, vice-president, treasurer and secretary. She loved making 
flower arrangements and visiting with those who had loved ones in the hospital. 
Opal also volunteered with the Salvation Army and worked at the "Christmas Tree" 
located at the Acadiana Mall for many seasons. After many years of taking care 
of others, she moved in with her granddaughter and her family. Opal came in 
contact with many generations while living with them. She always found a way to 
touch each and every one she came in contact with.

She enjoyed bingo at the Rosehouse, pushing a shopping cart for exercise, and 
eating fried catfish at any restaurant in Lafayette.

The family would like to thank her companion in recent months, Stephanie Beaugh, 
for the cheer she brought to Opal's days. Thanks to the staffs of the fifth 
floor and ICU at the Regional Medical Center of Acadiana, and the staff and 
volunteers of Hospice of Acadiana. Special thanks go out to Dr. Linda Oge for 
the years of medical care, and to Drs. Manuel and Hall for their medical advice 
during the family's time of need.

Pallbearers will be her grandsons, Randall, Dennis and Jacob Lynch, Jeffery and 
Scott Duplantis and Danny Leon. Honorary pallbearers will be great-grandsons, 
Justin Duplantis and Michael Leon.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made in Mrs. Duplantis' name
