"Everybody always had kind words to say about him," Coman said. "It's a real loss
for the school district and all the boys and girls he served all these years."

Mr. Narcisse was a member of the Holy Name Society, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity,
Principals Association of New Orleans Public Schools and the Ursuline High School
