Larry J. Remont, 72, beloved husband, father and grandfather, passed away on 
Wednesday, June 9, 2010 in Houston.

Born on the 15th of Nov. 1937, in Cut Off, Larry was the second of five children 
born to Ozite Galiano and Edmond Joseph Remont. Larry graduated from Louisiana 
State University in 1960 with a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering, and 
also served in the National Guard.

Larry built his career in the Petroleum industry, focusing on drilling fluids. 
After a long history of work in Houston starting with Baroid, then moving to 
Maurer Engineering, Mizell Corporation, Petrolite, Global Drilling Fluids and 
Anchor Drilling Fluids, Larry then took his work to M-I Drilling Fluids Canada, 
Inc. and Reef Mud in Calgary. Larry so enjoyed sharing his knowledge in his 
field that upon return to Houston in 2002, he took his wealth of knowledge in 
drilling fluids to the classrooms. He shared his expertise throughout the world, 
as far from home as Egypt. During his career Larry co-authored 15 publications 
on his field. He was a 50-year, recognized, member of the Society of Petroleum 
Engineers.

Larry was also a long-time member of St. Francis de Sales Church in Houston.

During his free time, Larry enjoyed reading and spending time with his 
grandsons. His intellectual curiosity, patience and attention to detail were 
appreciated by all those he came into contact with and will be remembered 
forever.

Larry was preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his wife of 47 
years, Kay Dee Doiron Remont of Houston; one daughter, Dorree Remont Colson and 
her husband, Michael, of Houston and their children, Daniel and Walker; two 
sisters, Lois Burton of Houma and Miriam Tivet and partner, John Guidry of 
Houma; his brothers, Louis (Gene) and Erica (Rickey) Remont of Houma, and Dale 
and Sandy Remont of Lafayette; and a host of nieces and nephews.

Friends are cordially invited to a visitation with the family from 6 to 8 p.m.

at 2 p.m. Tuesday at St. Anne Catholic Community, 2140 Westheimer Road in

The family will then accompany Larry to his final resting place in Louisiana, 
where friends are once again cordially invited to a visitation with the family
