'Tim' Butcher, Jr., 53, who passed away peacefully on Wednesday, January 9,
2008 at his residence in Butte la Rose, LA. Interment will be in Calvary
Cemetery. Survivors include two daughters, Marie Elizabeth Butcher of
Austin, TX and Vi Landry of New Orleans, LA; one son Jamie Houston and his
wife Lisa of Seattle, WA; his parents, Thomas P. Butcher, Sr. and Elizabeth
(Betty) Richard Butcher; three sisters, Elizabeth Landry PHD and her
husband Dr. Leo, Ellen Floyd and her husband Terry and Maureen Whitehead

(Bobby) and his wife Ann and John and his wife Mary Michael, both of
Lafayette; nieces and nephews, Brett, Kate and Caroline Landry, Barrett,
Patrick and James Butcher, Andrew, Luke and Anne Marie Butcher, Emily Floyd
and Catherine Whitehead; and his girlfriend Ingrid Duffy of New Orleans,
LA. A native of Lafayette and a resident of Butte la Rose at the time of
his death, Tim's interests and knowledge spanned a wide array of subjects
but he was first and foremost an educator. His long career in the medical
profession began in high school with Acadiana Ambulance. After receiving a
Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing from LSU Medical Center in New
Orleans, he worked at Charity Hospital. He was later awarded the Masters of
Public Health Degree in Infectious Diseases from Tulane University in New
Orleans that allowed him to become an emergency nursing and paramedic
instructor. Tim presented lectures nationwide on emergency preparedness
with special emphasis on Haz-Mat and blast injuries. His passion for
learning eventually led him to accept the position of Director of Disaster
Management at University Hospital, where he worked before and during
Hurricane Katrina. After the storm, he became known as 'Timstradomous' by
friends and co-workers who knew that Tim's vast amount of preparation and
personal concern were instrumental in saving lives at Charity and
University Hospitals during the hurricane and its aftermath. Displaced by
the storm, Tim decided to follow his heart, once again accepting a teaching
position with the Education Department at University Medical Center (UMC)
in Lafayette. In 2007 he was recognized by UMC for his professionalism,
mentoring and caring. He was also awarded the 2007 Leadership Award by the
Louisiana Emergency Nurses Association and honored by the American
Meteorological Society. Since the storm, Tim has lectured nationally and
published several articles in national nursing publications about his
experiences and the need to be prepared for man-made and natural disasters.
After Katrina, Tim took up residence in Butte La Rose, along the
Atchafalaya Basin in the hurricane-proof camp he designed himself.
Embracing his Cajun heritage, he studied local birds and plants, and
indulged his passion for Big Band orchestras, Jimi Hendrix, and Cajun music
(he also loved to Cajun dance). On Wednesday, January 9, 2008, Tim died of
cancer in his sleep at his home, surrounded by friends and family. During
the difficult days of his illness Tim's sense of humor and consideration
for the feelings of those around him only became more pronounced. Whether
the connection was personal or professional, Tim is remembered for his
intelligence, humor and joie de vivre. The family wishes to thank the
loving care given to Tim by his nurses: Lisa, his daughter-in-law, and his
girlfriend Ingrid Duffy; Hospice of Acadiana; and the 5th Floor Oncology
Unit of Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center. In lieu of flowers,
donations can be made to Hospice of Acadiana, 2600 Johnston St., Ste. 200,

years before moving to Esplanade Avenue. Twelve years ago he closed The

Sassoon in London and was one of Paul Mitchell's first associates. For
years Arthur attended hair shows around the United States and Europe and
was an educator for major manufacturers in the beauty industry. Arthur
always said the only reason he became a hairdresser was to meet girls.
Arthur was instrumental in changing laws that allowed cosmetologists to cut
men's hair. For the last forty years, Arthur has never lost his passion for
cutting hair. At the age of 44, Arthur became a jockey and raced at both
The Fairgrounds and Jefferson Downs. When most jockeys were retiring,
Arthur was just beginning. The first horse he got on threw him, and he kept
riding and racing until he won a race at Jefferson Downs. Arthur liked to
spend as much time with his children as possible. He also liked to fish,
hunt, cook, and dance. Arthur will be forever loved and greatly missed by
his family and friends. Relatives and friends are invited to attend a

Jahncke - Carol Saunders Jahncke passed away on Tuesday, January 1,
2008. She was born July 21, 1929 in New Orleans to the late Mea East and
Eugene D. Saunders and was a resident of Covington most of her life. She
was the beloved wife of the late Herbert G. Jahncke, Sr.; mother of Kennedy
S. and the late Roy S. Harrison and sister of Sylvia 'Tee-Ta' Davis. Also
affectionately known as 'Gannie', she is survived by three grandchildren:
Sean, Jennifer, and Colin Harrison. Carol Jahncke was in many regards a
Covington icon. She owned several shops in Covington most notably 'Carol's
Corner', a small book store. Her love of Louisiana and Covington in
particular led her to write several books including Mr. Kensel's Covington,
Louisiana Visit, and The Christmas Spirit. Carol Jahncke's extensive list
of civic involvement includes her writing and promotion of the official
Covington hymn 'I'm in Love Again With Covington'. She logged many
volunteer hours with St. Tammany Hospital as well as The Hospice of St.
Tammany. In memory of her late husband, she donated several items to and
worked at the Maritime Museum in Madisonville where she was known, in
character, as Mrs. Thurston. Carol Jahncke was indeed an uptown philosopher
to all those who knew her: she was a hiker having hiked most of the
Appalachian Trail, she was a well accomplished golfer, and she was
especially an avid gardener. But most of all she was a lover who enjoyed
doing all of these activities with her late husband Herbert. Her grave
marker will read: 'Where Herbert leads, Carol follows… where to next?'

Kotter - James Ivy Kotter, 82, a former New Orleans native died
peacefully at his home in Mandeville, Louisiana after a lengthy battle with
prostate cancer. He was the son of the late Inez D. Koper Kotter and John
James Kotter of New Orleans. Kotter graduated from Rugby Academy in New
Orleans in 1943. He was an all around athlete excelling in track, football,
and tennis. He was chosen as the All State Full Back in 1943 and was
regarded as the fastest player in the history of Louisiana High School
football in his era. He was the captain of the Rugby drill team, football
team, and was a member of the track team. He played trumpet in the Rugby
band. Kotter enlisted in the Army Air Force in 1944 and trained as an
aviation cadet. He was scheduled to be deployed overseas for World War II
combat as a bomber pilot; however he contacted a serious eye infection
which destroyed his perfect vision. He could never pilot an Army Air Force
plane again. Upon his honorable discharge, he received the American Theater
Ribbon, Victory Medal and Good Conduct Medal. Kotter attended Tulane
University and graduated from the University of Southwestern Louisiana in
Lafayette, LA in 1951 with a BS in Mechanical Engineering. He was a
Research Mechanical Engineer for 33 years. For twenty-six years, he was the
Principal Mechanical Engineer responsible for technical leadership of
research and development projects. He is the author of 29 technical
publications, recipient of 23 U.S. patents, and the USDA Superior Service
Award in 1978. This award was given for his development of the Bale Opener
Blender, a machine that manufactures yarn from tufts of cotton taken
directly from the bale. He was formerly a member of the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers, The Fiber Society, and the Honorary Society-Sigma XI.
After retirement from the US government, under the auspices of Computer
Science Corporation, Kotter re-designed equipment for the US Army Armament,
Research and Development Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland.
His chief projects were the M178 Gun Mount and the ABC-M18 Headwound Gas
Mask and other items used in biological warfare. For Kotter, a US Veteran,
this was the most fulfilling achievement in his lengthy engineering career.
After his successful career, Kotter delved into his life long passion of
music/lyric writing, a gift he believed was nurtured by his mother's
devotion to the arts, who herself was an accomplished pianist. After
retirement, Kotter released five CD's with two additional scheduled for
future release. His recordings, reminiscent of the big band era, have made
the Top Ten on Broad Jam and his lyrics have appeared in several national
poetry association anthologies. His poetry selection 'Autumn Love' won the
Editor's Choice Award. During his lifetime, he has composed over seventy-
five music scores that have US copyrights. He was also a talented artist.
His chief works depict scenes of Louisiana bayous and wildlife. Aside from
all these life long achievements, James 'Jim' Kotter was a very quiet and
humble man, who loved Jesus Christ and country and will be greatly missed
by his family and friends. Kotter was pre-deceased by his wife of 57 years,
Johanna F. Maloney Kotter, and his infant great-grand daughter Angele
Madeline O'Brien. He is survived by his five children: JoAnn Kotter Ripple,
James I. Kotter, Jr., Don C. Kotter, Kenneth Coburn Kotter, and Barbara
Kotter Avila. He also leaves 13 grandchildren, two step-grand children and
one great-grand child. Relatives and friends are invited to attend the

Mathes - Pioneering Leader in Plastic Surgery Dies of ALS. Stephen
Mathes, MD, professor emeritus in the UCSF Department of Surgery and a
pioneer in reconstructive surgery, died on Nov. 20, 2007, after a long and
valiant battle with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). A longtime member of the
UCSF faculty, Mathes was a towering figure in 20th century plastic and
reconstructive surgery. He was a role model, educator, mentor and a gifted
surgeon. Mathes will be remembered by his many friends and those he trained
as brilliant, creative, supportive, energetic, lively and fun-loving. 'Dr.
Mathes was a respected leader in plastic and reconstructive surgery who
made seminal contributions to the field of plastic surgery,' said Nancy
Ascher, MD, PhD, professor and chair of the UCSF Department of Surgery. 'He
has had a profound influence on his many trainees, colleagues, patients and
on UCSF as a whole. 'UCSF and the plastic and reconstructive surgery
community have lost a leader, innovator, mentor and compassionate human
being,' she said. Born in 1943 and raised in New Orleans, Mathes attended
Fortier High School, Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge and obtained
his medical degree at LSU School of Medicine in New Orleans. While in Baton
Rouge, he played for the LSU tennis team; tennis remained his favorite
sport, and he enjoyed many matches with colleagues and friends throughout
his career. From 1970 to 1972, Mathes served as a major in the US Army
Medical Corps and was assistant chief of surgery at Fort Polk Army Hospital
in southwest Louisiana, where he treated soldiers from his home state who
had been wounded in Vietnam. Mathes then completed general surgery and
plastic surgery training at Emory University in Atlanta. Driven by his
experience working as a surgeon at Fort Polk, he developed a laboratory to
explore the anatomy and develop new ways to do reconstructive plastic
surgery. These anatomical preparations and his subsequent publications were
to become the source of the musculocutaneous flaps soon to be taught and
adopted nationally and internationally for the coverage of previously
untreatable wounds. Mathes chose an academic career in surgery and in 1977
published his first textbook, titled Clinical Atlas of Muscle and
Musculocutaneous Flaps. This text showed the vascular anatomy of flaps
throughout the body and demonstrated how to move healthy tissue as needed
to various sites. In 1978, Mathes moved to San Francisco to join the
faculty at UCSF. At UCSF, he was involved in basic science and clinical
research that was supported by the National Institutes of Health and other
grants. More than 42 research fellows from the United States, Europe and
Asia were supervised in his laboratory or on clinical projects as the basic
science work done in the laboratory was successfully applied by plastic
surgeons around the world to treat deformities and wounds. In 1984, Mathes
became professor of surgery at UCSF, and in 1985, he became head of the
Division of Plastic Surgery and residency program director. During his 26
years on the faculty at UCSF, 62 residents completed their plastic surgery
training. Mathes has received numerous awards recognizing his basic science
and clinical research. These include six first prize awards from the
Plastic Surgery Educational Foundation, extending from 1981 to 1999. Other
awards include the Special Achievement Award from the American Society of
Plastic Surgeons and Best Medical Book Award from the American Medical
Writers Association. Mathes was a member of 32 national and international
professional societies. He served as chairman of the Plastic Surgery
Research Council, director of the American Board of Plastic Surgery, chair
of the Residency Review Committee for Plastic Surgery, president of the
Association of Academic Chairmen in Plastic Surgery, president of the
Plastic Surgery Educational Foundation and trustee for the American
Association of Plastic Surgeons. Mathes published more than 233 peer-
reviewed papers and chapters as well as six books, including the eight-
volume edition of Plastic Surgery published in 2006. He was a visiting
professor in more than 25 countries, delivered more than 400 formal
lectures and participated in symposia throughout the world. He is survived
by his loving family, who will miss him greatly. They include his wife,
Mary H. McGrath, MD, a plastic surgeon practicing at UCSF; his mother,
Norma D. Mathes, of Cookson, OK; his sons David W. Mathes, MD, and wife,
Amanda, of Seattle, WA, Brian A. Mathes and wife, Vaso, and their two
children, Zoe and Norah, of Boston MA, and Edward J. Mathes and wife, Erin
Mathes, MD, of San Francisco; his two brothers, Paul Mathes of New Orleans,
LA, and Peter Mathes of Cookson, OK, and five cousins Melvin Mathes of

service will be held on Thursday, Jan. 24, 2008, at 4 p.m. in Toland Hall

Mathes Endowed Chair Fund at UCSF Foundation, P.O. Box 45339, San
Francisco, CA, 94145-0339. This fund will be the first endowment within the
Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and will serve as a lasting

Academy and Holy Name of Jesus for grammar school. He attended Jesuit High
School and was a member of Phi Kappa Fraternity and Valencia. He then
transferred to St. Paul's Seminary where he thought the life of the cloth
was calling him. Van often said, 'St. Paul's really changed and shaped me
for life and adulthood.' Although St. Paul's became a catalyst for Van
becoming the man he was, he soon realized that the seminary was not for
him. After graduation, he attended Pearl River Jr. College, Loyola
University, and Southeastern University where he majored in business. He
was a member and active alumni of ADG fraternity in college. Once out of
school, Van tried his hand at a few sales jobs. In 1967 Van entered the
United States Army where he was stationed in Germany and he traveled
throughout Europe every chance he got. These adventures in Europe gave Van
his second love - travel. Over Van's life, he traveled to five continents
and over thirty countries. Among his favorites were, Italy, Switzerland,
and China. Back at home in the U.S., Van began selling real estate at
Walker Land in 1972. While there he realized that he was in love again,
this time with a woman. In 1973 Van became engaged to his coworker Dianne
Silva. They were married a year later on October 5th, 1974. They decided to
move in a new direction, and Van went to Delgado Community College to
obtain his horticultural license. He opened Musso's Garden Center on
Metairie Road. Then in 1975, Van welcomed his first child, a daughter,
Allison into the world. The next four years he struggled with his new
business. Then in 1979 Van's second child, a son, Scott was born. With a
fairly new and expanding family, Van decided he once again wanted something
else. He closed down the garden center and became a stock broker at Dean
Witter Reynolds and quickly found his groove. He was one of the first
people in New Orleans to offer retirement planning. This became his
specialty and he rose through the ranks to become a Senior Vice President.
He retired in 2006. Van was a member of the Lions Club, Toast Masters, the
Wharton School of Business, and Dale Carnegie Courses. He was involved with
Junior Achievements and in 1990, he helped bring President Ronald Reagan to
New Orleans to speak at junior high school. He was very active in local
charities and often hosted fundraiser at his Uptown home. Throughout his
time as a stock broker he received many awards. He was a recipient of
Registered Representative Magazine's 'Outstanding Broker Award' and he was
featured in Research Magazine as one of the top retirement planning
specialist in the country. In 1994 Van wrote a book How to Retire Rich and
Stay Rich to help people realize their dreams and invest smartly. Sally Ann
Roberts featured Van in a 'Rags to Riches' news story. Van was survived by
his wife Dianne Silva Musso, his children, Allison and Scott. His siblings,
Marilyn, Dom, Jim, Kay Catalanotto, David, and many nieces and nephews.
Preceded by his parents, Anna Palmisano and Phillip Musso, his brother

O'Sullivan - Rita Stockstill O'Sullivan was embraced in God's arms
on Thursday, January 24th, 2008 at 6:10pm. An indomitable warrior, her
strength never waivered. She joins her mother, Bonnie Pratt, in heaven and
together they rejoice again. Rita is a true inspiration to her father,
Walter G. 'Bub' Pratt, and her daughter and kindred spirit, Amara Joy
Blust. She found her soul mate in Dan O'Sullivan and their hearts flowed
together on April 21, 2001. This union blessed her with 3 beautiful
'Children by Choice': Caitlin, Maureen and Kevin, whom she was proud to
consider as her own. She shared that special bond that only sisters can
understand with both Angelia Yacavone and Kay Chandler and was fortunate
enough to find additional sisters in Grace Marshall and Suzanne Parsons
Stymiest who served as her pillars of strength. Another joyful blessed
layer of Rita's life was her grandchildren, Alexis and Greyson Blust. What
a legacy of inspiration, courage and strength she leaves for them, and for
all whose life she touched over the course of her teaching and theatrical
careers. Over the course of the past twenty-five years, Rita has offered
her humor, her insights, and her demands for excellence to everyone she
touched. Whether it was in her English classes, theatrical performances and
productions, or her commitment to the children she taught theater. Rita's
dedication, contagious spirit, and love inspired us and made us better
people. Rita's visitation will be held at HONAKER FUNERAL HOME, 1751 Gause
Blvd. West, Slidell, on Sunday, January 27, 2008 from 6:00pm until 9:00pm.
The service celebrating the journey of this incredible woman's life will be
that evening at 7:00pm. Rita will finally rest in the place that brought
her the most peace, Pensacola Beach, FL where she will spend eternity with
her lord with sand between her toes. The O'Sullivan family would like to
sincerely thank our angels: Dr. Suarez, Dr. Diana Gillmore, and all of the
nursing staff at Slidell Memorial Hospital, 1 East. Rita as a loving wife,
mother, grandmother, friend, teacher, actress, director has surely earned
her place under the lights on Heaven's center stage while those of us who
she leaves behind share rave reviews in our memories of her life here on
earth. Arrangements by Honaker Funeral Home, Inc., Slidell, LA. Times
