Melvin Alphonse Mire was born in Rayne, LA on June 30th, 1933. He moved his 
wife and two children to Thibodaux, LA in 1955 from Bosco, LA to sell insurance 
where shortly after his third child was born. After many years of selling 
insurance, he began working for the Lafourche Parish Sherriff's Office until 
his retirement.

An avid outdoorsman and cajun musician, he only had one greater passion – his 
love for and devotion to his family. Although he is gone in body, he will 
forever live on in the hearts of those whose lives he touched; those who knew 
him simply as "Popsie".
