He was preceded in death by his parents, Henry M. Gros and Doris Lebouef Gros; 
and brother, James John Gros.

He went to sleep on earth Saturday morning and woke up on Sunday morning in 
Heaven. He was a gentle giant of a man who was a proud American. He served his 
country in the U.S. Marine Corps in Vietnam and was forever changed by that 
experience. He was wounded there but was not defeated. He was a true family man 
and dearly loved by his wife, daughters and their spouses, grandchildren and 
friends. He served his church with much love and humility. He was a Royal 
Ranger Commander for many years as well as serving as an usher. It was apparent 
Jesus lived big in him.

Landry's Funeral Home in Thibodaux is in charge of arrangements.
