He was a parishioner of St. Joseph Catholic Church. He was self-employed

grandfather. 

He will be sadly missed but knowing he is with our Lord and Savior is 
comforting to the family.

The family would like to thank the staff of Mary Bird Perkins, TGMC Bayou Home 
Care, and South LA Hospice, all the family and friends who walked with up 
through this journey with our dad and made it as easy as possible for us. God 
bless you all.
