Antoine Randolph "Tee" Francis, 87, a native and longtime resident of Dulac and

A time of reflection and remembrance will be from 4 to 10 p.m. today at Clanton 
Chapel United Methodist Church in Dulac and from 8 a.m. to funeral time 
Wednesday at Hargrave Funeral Home in Morgan City. Funeral service will be held

Cemetery. Military Honors to be provided by The East St. Mary Funeral Squad Inc.

He is survived by his wife, Mary Lodrigue Francis; four sons, Randolph Francis 
and wife, Brenda, of Wedowee, Ala., Delvin Francis and wife, Angie, of Houma, 
Ray Francis and wife, Lisa, of Theriot, and Ted Francis and companion, Rochel, 
of Houma; seven sisters, Relta Lirette and husband, Barry, of Theriot, Debra 
Liner and husband, Gabriel Sr., of Theriot, Connie Guidry and husband, Lloyd, of 
Theriot, Penny Lirette and husband, Terry Sr., of Theriot, Sylvia Sanders and 
husband, Harvey, of Houma, Terri Ann Francis and companion, Kevin, of Theriot, 
and Jill Cooper and husband, Casey, of Theriot; 33 grandchildren; 24 great-
grandchildren; and numerous great-great grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his first wife, Mary Pearly Smith Francis; his 
parents, Louis Alcess and Corine Duthu Francis; three brothers, Clifford, Delvin 
and Joseph Francis; three sisters, Elnora Francis Billiot, Eva Francis Dion and 
Malvina Francis Landry; and one grandson, Chase Francis.

Born Dec. 4, 1923, Antoine lived among his family and close friends in Dulac 
most of his life. As a young man, he made his living shrimping where he grew up, 
except for about four years when he enlisted in the service during World War II. 
He served with the 9th Infantry Division, and 746th Tank Battalion in Normandy, 
Northern France, Ardennes, Rhineland, and Central Europe. He participated in the 
Allied Invasion of Normandy on D-Day.

Upon returning home from the service, he went to work first on a shrimp boat for 
some time and later worked as a tugboat captain for the remaining of his working 
days. "Tee" spent most of his retired life fishing with his wife Mary and taking 
care of his small boat that he used for trawling in the nearby lakes where they 
enjoyed many sunrises. He also enjoyed hunting until his eyesight got bad. 
Antoine looked forward to the local Indian Pow-Wows for good eating and visiting 
with his friends whom he didn't get to see very often. His favorite times were 
spent with his children celebrating birthdays and special occasions where all 
eleven of his children made it a point to be present. His time spent fishing and 
hunting with his boys and nephews made for good stories handed down with a lot 
of good laughs. He loved the Francis Family Reunions, and was a proud member of 
the United Houma Nation. His fishing days with his pastor, Rev. Kirby Verret , 
and his dog BoBo were some of his highlights. He will be missed in a big way in 
the communities of Dulac and Berwick.

WEST, NATHANIEL 

Nathaniel West, 64, a native of Mathews and resident of Avondale, passed away 
Thursday, Dec. 9, 2010 at West Jefferson Medical Center after a short illness.

Visitation will be from 9 a.m. to funeral time Saturday at the Westside Leitz-
Eagan Funeral Home in Marrero. A Baha'i Funeral Service will be held at 11 a.m., 
with interment to follow at Morning Star Baptist Church Cemetery in Raceland.

He is survived by his wife of 38 years, Joan Fries West of Avondale; three 
brothers, his twin, Nathan West, of Austin, Texas, Rolando Bradley and wife, 
Tracie and Elton Bradley and wife, Barbara, both of Raceland; five sisters, 
Linda White and husband, Rodney Sr. of Paradis, Carolyn Bland and husband, Adam 
Lee, Debra Wheaton and husband, William, Vivian Bradley and Sandra Johnson, all 
of Raceland; a maternal uncle, Sidney Charles, of Raceland and numerous other 
relatives and friends.

West was born on Dec. 29, 1946 as the first of identical twins. At age 17, he 
was paralyzed by an accidental gunshot wound and was confined to a wheelchair 
thereafter. He often said that because the accident changed the direction of his 
life forever, he felt blessed by God. An independent and determined person, he 
finished high school while in the hospital. In 1971, while attending college in 
Clarksdale, Miss., he met his wife, Joan Fries, of Oshkosh, Wis. They were 
married in Clarksdale in 1972. Although they had no children, they hoped their 
union might serve as an example of the power of love and unity.

In 1980, he received a Bachelor of Science degree from Our Lady of Holy Cross 
College in New Orleans. He worked for the Social Security Administration in 
Terrytown as a contact representative from 1991 until he began kidney dialysis 
in 2004. He loved his work and took great pride and joy in serving others, 
especially the elderly and persons in distress. He learned how to drive a 
conversion van, which gave him a wonderful sense of freedom.

He became a Baha'i in 1970 and spent the rest of his life trying to live in such 
a way that his deeds would be a testament to his faith. At the time of his 
death, he was a member of the Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of West 
Jefferson Parish. He was a man of great inner strength and faith, sensitive to 
the needs of others, quiet, non-judgmental, with a ready smile and infectious 
laugh. He will be missed.

Clyde G. Peterson, a native and life long resident of Patterson, born Sept. 27, 
1927, passed away on Monday, Dec. 20, 2010 at Teche Regional Medical Center in 
Morgan City.

The family requests that visitation be observed from 9 a.m. to funeral time 
today at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Patterson, with a rosary being prayed at 
10:15 a.m. Mass will be held at 11 a.m. today at the church, officiated by the 
Rev. Donovan Labbe, with burial in the church cemetery.

He is survived by his wife of 61 years, Jeannine Ganucheau Peterson; his 
children, Kirk and wife, Janice Cayce Peterson, Kim, Kevin and his wife, Inger 
E. Peterson, and Karla Peterson Adams and husband, Dr. Robert A. Adams III; five 
grandchildren, Brian Rappmundt, Christina Peterson Aucoin and husband, Timothy, 
Cayce Peterson, Lt. Mary Peterson, and Leah Peterson; and a great-grandson, 
Jake.

Standing as pallbearers will be Kirk Peterson, Kevin Peterson, Cayce Peterson, 
Kevin Gant, Tim Aucoin, Robert Adams III and Brian Rappmunndt.

Honorary pallbearers will be Skeets Folse, Connley Vining, Lee Delaune, Ned 
Stevens and Cyrus Gray.

His love and appreciation of nature was reflected in all that he placed his eyes 
on, whether it was a beautiful face or a timeless picture that caught his 
attention. As an accomplished photographer, he possessed a talent that allowed 
anyone who viewed his pictures an opportunity to share in the same miracles that 
he saw daily. He was an avid fisherman who spent countless days roaming the 
bayous of the Atchafalaya Basin and capturing its glorious scenes.

Clyde's life was filled with many accomplishments, some of which included 
serving our country in the U.S. Navy. After serving in the Navy, he furthered 
his education and he began his life with his family in Patterson where he went 
into business for himself. During this time, he built an unsurpassed legacy 
including serving over 23 years in the Patterson Volunteer Fire Department, four 
years as a Patterson Alderman and mayor pro-tem, and four years as President of 
Appaloosa Horse Association. In later years, he supported the sheriff's 
department as an active volunteer. But his greatest accomplishment was the joy 
and love that he brought to his family, his friends and everyone that he met 
with "a few minutes to talk".

Arrangements have been entrusted to Ibert's Mortuary, Inc. of Patterson.

forever.

KAPPEL, CARROLL 

It is with deep sadness that I bring to you the unfortunate news of Carroll 
Kappel's death. Carroll passed away on Sunday, Dec. 19, 2010, after a short and 
courageous battle with metastatic non-small cell cancer of the lung.

A private funeral service is scheduled at 10 a.m. Thursday at Cypress Fairbanks 
Funeral Home in Cypress, Texas.

He is survived by his wife, Yvonne; two sisters, Elizabeth Bourg and Linda 
Gaston; and three children Jon Kappel, Jason Kappel and Emily Bouthillette.

He was preceded in death by his mother and step-father, Madge and Willis Gaston.

Carroll handled his incurable disease with great valor and spent his final 
breaths sharing humor and comfort with his family. He loved life dearly but did 
not fear death. He imprinted a lasting legacy in our lives through his passion 
for living and his undying will to face each moment with humor, clarity and 
courage. Carroll was born in Houma in 1937. He spent his childhood and youth in 
Louisiana where he attended Nicholls State University. After spending time in 
the Army and a few years as a rough neck, he took on the budding field of 
computer science, where he became a pioneer. He helped develop systems and code 
for the geophysical industry at a number of firms and for the U.S. government at 
NASA but was always proudest of his time during the first, seminal years at GSI.

Carroll was an active member of his community and a loving friend, brother, 
husband, father and grandfather and will be deeply missed.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be offered to the 
American Cancer Society (at cancer.org).
