He was preceded in death by his wife, Virginia Landry Daigle in 2010, his 
parents Edward and Gertrude “Momie” Daigle, his sister Elizabeth “Chibby” 
Begue, and his brother Gerald Daigle.

Bobby was devoted to his siblings, his family, 42 nieces and nephews and 
numerous other family friends. He was a humble man always ready to share his 
many talents of fixing anything and everything. Our family tradition of sharing 
weekly gatherings began with Momie’s Saturday breakfast with her boys. Bobby 
and Virginia began their own version with Sunday fried chicken lunch and it has 
evolved into Sunday morning breakfast for the past 10 years. He so loved having 
family as well as guests for the weekly event. This event has given his 
children, grandchildren and great grandchildren memories that will last a life 
time. The greatest gifts he gave his 8 children are each other and the love of 
family to share holidays, Sunday breakfast and family traditions.

He was a watchmaker and Master Jeweler opening Daigle’s Jewelry in 1952. He was 
one of the first avid runners in Houma running for 57 years and continuing to 
walk until 85 years of age. His children share many memories of Sunday swims, 
walks to Grandma’s and playing in our playhouse.

Although Bobby was a man of few words, he will always be treasured by family 
and friends alike.
