Born, January 8, 1939, to Eunice LeRay Plaisance and Edwis J. Plaisance, Sr., 
he owned Acadian T.V. and Acadian Electrical Contractors. As a lifelong 
resident of the Thibodaux- Chackbay area, he was a prominent member of the Our 
Lady of Prompt Succor community where he enjoyed being a fourth degree knight 
in the Knights of Columbus. EJ saw himself as an experienced traveler both 
domestically and internationally. As a seasoned traveler, he enjoyed many trips 
with his grandchildren. He enjoyed the education and spiritual parts of the 
Vatican and Jerusalem as these were some of his last trips.

He is survived by his wife, Marilyn Ledet Plaisance, whom he has been married 
to for the last 58 years. His children, Melanie, Evan and Annette have blessed 
him with 9 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren. His oldest daughter, 
Melanie Plaisance Benoit, married to Randall Benoit, gave him three grand 
children: Matthew Benoit, Rachel Benoit Hebert married to Derek Hebert, and 
Monica Benoit Charpentier married to Joseph Charpentier. Evan Plaisance, 
married to Phyllis Percle Plaisance, gave him two: Lauren Plaisance Lasserre 
married to Lee Lasserre and Katie Plaisance Danos married to John Danos. 
Annette Plaisance Dempster, married to C.J. (Callen) Dempster, Jr. gave him 
four: Benjamin Dempster married to Jamie A. Dempster, Callie Dempster Aucoin 
married to Seth Aucoin, Tiffani Dempster and Hope Dempster. His eight great 
grandchildren are: Caleb Junguina, Callen and Cayden Dempster, Quynn Aucoin, 
Harper and Zander Danos, Gabriel Dempster-Martin, and Madeline Charpentier. He 
is also survived by his brothers: Patrick and Kenneth Plaisance, and 
stepmother, Delores Plaisance.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Eunice and Edwis Plaisance, Sr. and 
his brother Stanley Plaisance.

We would like to acknowledge our gratitude to his medical team of doctors and 
nurses from Home Health Center of Thibodaux Regional and Dr. Peter Fail from 
CIS during his most recent illness. Our deepest appreciation goes to the 
Chackbay Fire Department, Acadian Ambulance, and the Lafourche Parish Sheriff's 
Office.

In lieu of flowers, contributions would be appreciated to Our Lady of Prompt 
Succor Church in Chackbay, Louisiana.

To quote his granddaughter, Hopie, "Don't be sad, I've got him in my heart and 
all will be ok." Farewell and till we see you again….
