He was 79 years old. A self-made man who enlisted in the U.S. Army after high school, upon his discharge he received a B.S. in Geology from Tulane University. He was later awarded a scholarship to Harvard, receiving an M.A. and a Ph.D. in Geology in 1953 and 1957, respectively. He went on to found the Forman Exploration Company and the Forman Petroleum Corporation. Most recently he was President of Dragon Energy Corporation. Forman was an indefatigable worker. While he built his career primarily along the Gulf Coast, his work took him to places as far flung as the jungles of Peru, the United Arab Emirates and the former Soviet Republic of Georgia. The quintessential independent operator, when boxed out of negotiations in the Emirates by larger companies he flew to the kingdom of Sharjah to personally negotiate a concession with the ruling sheik. He went on to maintain a satellite office in the kingdom and it was this type of individualism which became a hallmark of his career. He was a member of several honorary and professional memberships, including Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Xi, Sigma Gamma Epsilon, the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, and the Paleontological Society. He was also a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers and a senior member of the New Orleans Geological Society. A true Renaissance man, his interests ranged from Chinese porcelains and English antiques to Mesoamerican History and paleontology. Among his charitable works were significant donations to both Harvard University and Isidore Newman School. But it was his generosity on a more personal level that affected people most, particularly in helping with tuition for families in need. Forman lived an exceptionally rich and full life. Not long before he died he remarked to his son, "I have drunk deeply from the cup of life." He will be remembered for his remarkable intellect, his wry sense of humor, and his boundless generosity. Forman is survived by his longtime companion Suh Park of New York, N.Y.; his two daughters Sabrina Forman Pilant of New Orleans and Alexandra Forman Kirk of Washington, D.C.; and his son McLain Jay Forman II of New Orleans. He is also survived by his grandchildren Mary Esther Pilant, Julia McLain Pilant, and Eliza Eugenie Pilant.

'Trey' Lund III, daughter Pamela Lund Birbiglia, daughter-in-law Molly Burke Lund, grandchildren: Lyndsay Ann Lund and Anna Laura Birbiglia, and sister: Kalila Lund and Carolyn Lucas. Mr. Lund was born on September 11, 1934 in New Orleans, Louisiana to George H. Lund Sr. and Carrie Frank Lund, who preceded him in death. He served honorably in the United States Navy and later joined the United States Border Patrol in 1965. Subsequent to his faithful service as a Border Patrol Agent along the United States/Mexico border in California, Mr. Lund returned to his native New Orleans as a Border Patrol Agent and then as an Immigration Inspector with the Department of Justice, United States Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). In 1976, in furtherance of his service to the United States, Mr. Lund packed up his family and transferred to British Columbia, Canada, where he served as an Immigration Inspector in Vancouver. The family longed to return to the Big Easy, and in 1978, Mr. Lund and his family returned to Louisiana and settled in Metairie, where he continued his long and distinguished career with the former INS and the Department of Homeland Security, United States Customs and Border Protection. Mr. Lund held many positions of distinction during his noted career, including Immigration Inspector, Immigration Examiner, Immigration Deportation Officer, Supervisory Immigration Inspector, Supervisory Immigration Deportation Officer, and area Port Director at the New Orleans International Airport. After dutifully serving his country for over 41 years, Mr. Lund retired in 2004. Mr. Lund liked to read - his favorite novel was Jonathan Livingston Seagull. The book exemplified Mr. Lund's outlook on life: follow your dreams, see beyond day-to-day activities, have the courage to stand by your beliefs, understand what and who you really are, and learn to love, learn, and forgive unconditionally. As portrayed in the book, Mr. Lund rejected the idea that the stronger can reach more by leaving the weaker friends behind. Mr. Lund was also an avid hunter and fisherman and enjoyed the Louisiana outdoors. However, his true joy was the precious time he spent with family. Whether camping with his wife in their Bounder RV, fishing the waters of Myrtle Grove and Lafitte with his son, or exercising every morning with his daughter at Cureton's Sports Club and the East Jefferson General Hospital's Wellness Center, Mr. Lund loved quality time with his family. He was adored by his loving granddaughters and he cherished the many occasions when they came to visit 'Gramps'. Mr. Lund was a kind and gentle man who always lead by example - he will be sadly missed by his family, friends, and co-workers. Mr. Lund's family would like to offer their appreciation for the loving care provided by Dr. Angelo Russo and associates, in particular Lori, the staff of Hospice associates, Demetria and Rhonda.

Milly was born Ludmilla Bevcic in Trieste, Italy, on February 9, 1928 to Karolina and Franc Bevcic. She met Charlie McDonald while he was stationed in Trieste in 1953. They married and came to America. Milly was very proud to receive her GED and American citizenship. Although a heavy accent could be detected when she spoke English, if asked where she was from, her response would always be "America. I'm an American." The most important gift that Milly gave her children was the love of her culture and the knowledge of her language. She was born in a small village named Storje which is in the country of Slovenia. Slovenian was spoken at home as well as Italian, since the Italian border was only about five miles from home. The Bevcic family has been making Teran wine over 100 years. It is a wonderful part of our heritage. Working in Trieste, Italy, was an avenue in which Milly got to express her style in clothing, and she was always complimentary of those who wore fine clothing. She began collecting jewelry, and it was a fun hobby for her. Our home in New Orleans was always one that was open to traveling friends. The dinner table was a place where stories were told and memories were made. Milly was the family photographer and travel agent. Seeing the United States was a priority, and then the family traveled abroad. We never left home without fruit, snacks, and drinks. It was always an adventure with my family whether we were driving to Canada to see Uncle Louis' family or going to Destin or Grand Isle. Milly enjoyed life. She treasured her family and friends very much. We loved her and will miss her.

Something I never doubted. He was a bit on the dramatic side, but that's how he lived and that's how he died. He made a big splash wherever he went and an even bigger impression on whomever he met. On Wednesday night of June 18th, after being diagnosed with brain cancer this past February, he finally lost the good fight. He lived hard and he played hard. He never once questioned "Why me?" nor did he complain after enduring countless radiation treatments. He embraced life to its fullest and never looked back. Nelson spent his last few months trying to plan a fishing trip for our dad even though in his heart he knew it would never come to fruition. Nelson graduated from St. Martin's Episcopal School in 1968. Afterwards he attended LSU and from there served in the United States Navy. He lived most of his adult life in Virginia Beach and Norfolk Va. His proudest achievement was his son, Tommy, who will be attending Miami Law School this fall. Nelson is also survived by his father Tom Moskal, stepmother LilyB Moskal of Lafayette La.; mother Marianne Adams of Pittsboro N.C.; brother Stewart Moskal of Coral Springs, Fla.; sister, Roxane Berglund of Cary, N.C. and stepdaughters Susie Hadix of Ohio and Shaunda Hadix of Virginia Beach, Va. Other family include nephews Jake Moskal of Coral Springs, Fla. and Christopher Berglund, of Robbinsville, N.C. and nieces Carli Moskal of Coral Springs and Andrea Berglund of Boca Raton, Fla. Nelson spent the last five years of his life unselfishly taking care of our mother. His greatest passion in life was surfing. He moved to Titusville, Fla., last year so that he could be closer to the ocean and was seldom seen without a surfboard strapped to the roof of his car. Whether he was perfecting his recipe for barbecue shrimp from Manale's or serving up a mean Key Lime pie, regaling you with the most incredible stories, (fact or fiction we will never know) or playing the saxophone, you were never bored when Nelson was around. His favorite pastime was sitting on the beach at sunset with an ice cold cappuccino, watching the waves break and listening in his head to Nat King Cole sing "Its almost like being in love!" Although Nelson often colored outside the lines and ran with scissors, he had a big heart that was only surpassed by his incredible sense of humor and his love of life. Just last Thanksgiving, he and his son, Tommy, were snorkeling off of Key West in search of Hemingway. I'd like to give a special thanks to Susie Q. who sat at my brother's bedside for the last week of his life holding his hand, getting him ice cream and reassuring him that he was much loved. For that, our family will always love you. I'd also like to thank the caring staff at Sentara Leigh Hospital in Virginia Beach and the other health professionals that came into Nelson's life along the way. In Nelson's own words, "I HAD A GOOD RUN." Per Nelson's wishes he was cremated and a celebration of his life is planned for a future date.

As stated in a review of his work in the All Music Guide: "Victor Sirker was born in New Orleans, La., the perfect setting for blues and jazz artists. He grew up there, surrounded by the local music and the many gifted artists who influenced him over the years. In the late '70s, Victor was working as a waiter to pay the bills, playing his music when and where he could. A lucky break landed him a chance to play with Roy Ayers' Ubiquity. 24 hours later Victor found himself as part of the headline act at Howard University for KC & the Sunshine Band and Santana. During his long musical career Victor has worked with many popular artists, including the Neville Brothers, Professor Longhair, Dr. John, and Percy Mayfield. But the path was not always an easy one, and in the mid '90s he tossed in the towel for a few years. No matter how level headed it seemed to quit for good, to give up music forever, his heart never agreed. By 1998 he was back to stay and more determined than ever to make a go of it. A year later his hard work paid off, in the form of a debut album, Out of Darkness. He played regularly at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival in its early days and in the French Quarter." Victor was preceded in death by his wife, Diane L. Baker, his parents, Rosa and Victor Sirker, Sr., and sister, Victoria S. Buschman. He is survived by brother, Sean Sirker of New Orleans; sisters, Adelita S. Winchester of Austin, Tx., Karen Sirker of Washington, D.C., and Yvette Sirker of Hancock, Mass.

Nungesser, Carol W. Evans (deceased), James A. Wilkinson and Donald A. Wilkinson. He lived his childhood years with his family on an Iberville Parish sugar cane plantation known as "the Island". The family moved to New Orleans when he was a young teen. He was a proud 1953 graduate of Redemptorist High School, where he played basketball and starred on the Redemptorist Rams baseball team. He was the baseball team's starting catcher for three years, was named the Most Valuable Player in baseball in 1952, and was selected as a member of The Times Picayune "All Prep" baseball team of 1953, when he hit .386, third highest batting average among New Orleans high school players.

The Wilson's had strong family ties to Arkansas as well and spent a lot of time in Heber Springs at the family lake house. Seven years ago, she returned to Texas, making the Woodlands of Houston her home. She had allegiance to each of the places in which she spent her time.

They could also agree she was smart, very caring, a wonderful mother, a loyal friend, very quick witted and loved the finer things in life. She enjoyed time with her family and friends the most, and had this giggle that was infectious. She often traveled to visit those that lived far from her. She liked to read, garden, stay abreast on current affairs, and was a gourmet cook. She was full of grace and vivaciousness. Charlotte also liked to volunteer and be active in her community. In New Orleans she was a member of the Tall Timbers Garden Club, the New Orleans Gourmet Club, volunteered at the Hermann-Grima House in The French Quarter, and was active in her church, Aurora Methodist. Upon moving to Houston, she got involved in The Woodlands Garden Club, The Woodlands Newcomers Club, The Lunch Bunch, and was active in the Woodlands United Methodist Church where she served as a volunteer receptionist.
