Lawson and Reverend Russ Clunan. A brief visitation will be held immediately prior to the service at the

Adam Lantier, Jack Campbell, Stephen Loewer, and John Michael Loewer; as well as family friends Tim Walker
and Dan Diefenderfer. Serving as honorary pallbearers are Jack's granddaughters Shawn Lantier, Sara
DiCarlo, Lindsay Campbell, Elise Loewer, Suzanne Zelenka, and Sophia Mazzetti. Jack was born December 2,
1934 in Cameron, Texas and preceded in death by his mother, Inez Sneed Marceau and father, Glidewell Herd
Brook. He died on Monday September 14, 2009 after a lengthy illness. He is survived by his wife and best
friend of 55 years, Mary Jo Leonard Brook, and 5 daughters: Rene Brook Hoffpauir, Kristi Brook, Nyda Brook
, Jody Brook Galey, and Mary Ellen Brook; Sons in law include Wayne Hoffpauir, William Smith, and Steve
Galey. He will be sorely missed by his 11 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. Jack was also preceded
in death by his son Frederick Victor Brook and granddaughter Hannah Katherine Loewer. After graduating
from Centenary College, Jack enlisted in the US Army where he served in the 1st armored division as tank
commander. Following military service, Jack graduated from LSU Law School, where he was a member of the
Louisiana Law Review, Order of the Coif, and served as President of the Law School. Jack entered the
private practice of law in 1960 with Vinson Elkins in Houston and retired from practicing with the Law
firm of Brook and Van Loon in 2001. During the course of his career, he built and served as managing
partner of multiple large law firms operating in Baton Rouge, Lafayette, New Orleans, and Washington, D.C.
His proudest legal accomplishment was representing officials in Plaquemines Parish to recover lost oil and
gas interests. He enjoyed his years of service to the Leukemia Society of America, where he was President
of the Louisiana Chapter, and chairman of their televent fundraising efforts. He was a member of the Board
of Directors of Easter Seals, and a member of the LSU Tiger Athletic Foundation. He was a member of the
Louisiana and Texas Bar Associations, and was appointed to the Court Rules Committee for the Supreme Court
of the State of Louisiana from 1997-2002. Jack published numerous articles in both scholarly and trade
journals in the area of oil and gas law. Aside from his wife's cooking, Jack was most passionate about the
LSU Tigers. The fall of each New Year brought with it the humming of the fight song and endless
speculation about how this year would be the one that brought LSU one more National Championship in
Football. With this often came play by play descriptions, drawings, and storytelling of Billy Cannon's
famous run. In fact, one of his last requests was for family members to tell him once again about the
score in last Saturday's victory over Vandy. Memorial contributions honoring Jack's life can be made
either to the Frederick Victor Brook Scholarship Fund at Centenary College P.O. Box 41188 Shreveport, LA
71134-1188, or to St John's United Methodist Church, 9375 Highland Road, Baton Rouge, LA 70808. The family

known as a vibrant and soul-stirring entertainer in her adulthood, Juanita was encouraged to pursue her
passion early on by her musically inclined father. Juanita's parents also strongly encouraged a love of
the Lord and she accepted Christ as her savior at an early age. After accepting Christ, Juanita began
singing in the church as a young girl at St. Daniel Spiritual Church pastored by Rev. Lawson Givens. A
native New Orleanian, Juanita was educated in the New Orleans Public School System and graduated from

the University of New Orleans and soon after began her professional singing career. Her singing career
expanded over the last 35+ years and Juanita became an internationally known entertainer renowned for
mesmerizing audiences with everything from "heartfelt" gospel numbers to "sassy and gritty" blues tunes.
Her credits run a mile long…as she rendered performances all over the world from Europe to Australia.
Juanita was equally at home on the theater stage. However, Juanita's greatest passion was her family. She
leaves to cherish her memory: her mother, Margie H. Brooks; five siblings, Joyce O'Neal, Barbara Ann
Harris, Elder George Brooks, Jr., Detroit Brooks and Mark Brooks; five children, Awood Magic Johnson,
Timothy J. Cola, Jr., Timantha J. Brooks, Timisha J. Brooks and Jabari Brooks; a daughter-in-law, Chastity

000179	CAVALLINO John Joseph Cavallino, age 83, passed away on September 5, 2009 in his home of 53 years.
At the time of his peaceful passing he was surrounded by the love of his two adoring granddaughters, Gina
Watkins and Wendy Vaughn, the latter of whom he raised. He was the beloved father of Carol Cavallino
Watkins and Cheryl Cavallino Vaughn, and father-in-law of Ira G. Watkins III. He was preceded in death by
his parents, Louis Cavallino and Mary Franzona Cavallino, and his brothers Joseph Cavallino, Sam
Cavallino, Vincent Cavallino, Anthony Cavallino, Sr., Manuel Cavallino, and Frank Cavallino. He is also
survived by his sisters Marie C. Knight and Rosalie C. Chauvin, as well as a host of family and friends.
John was born on August 9, 1926 in Kenner, LA and resided most of his life in Metairie, LA. He proudly
served in the U.S. Navy during WWII. He was a dedicated family man who worked hard from his teenage years
until retirement to provide for his family. He was an enterprising and accomplished businessman, from
working in the family grocery business as a young man, to venturing on his own in grocery and retail
businesses, as well as commercial real estate. He was a proud father and grandfather, and a good friend to
many. His greatest pleasures were spending time with his granddaughters, dancing at the Jefferson-Orleans
with his wife, and playing golf and poker. He and his wife celebrated their 60th anniversary this year and
were clearly inseparable, as he passed only two days after her. He will be greatly missed and remains
forever in our hearts. Family and friends are invited to attend a joint memorial for John and Rita on

000180	CAVALLINO John Joseph Cavallino, age 83, passed away on September 5, 2009 in his home of 53 years.
At the time of his peaceful passing he was surrounded by the love of his two adoring granddaughters, Gina
Watkins and Wendy Vaughn, the latter of whom he raised. He was the beloved father of Carol Cavallino
Watkins and Cheryl Cavallino Vaughn, and father-in-law of Ira G. Watkins III. He was preceded in death by
his parents, Louis Cavallino and Mary Franzona Cavallino, and his brothers Joseph Cavallino, Sam
Cavallino, Vincent Cavallino, Anthony Cavallino, Sr., Manuel Cavallino, and Frank Cavallino. He is also
survived by his sisters Marie C. Knight and Rosalie C. Chauvin, as well as a host of family and friends.
John was born on August 9, 1926 in Kenner, LA and resided most of his life in Metairie, LA. He proudly
served in the U.S. Navy during WWII. He was a dedicated family man who worked hard from his teenage years
until retirement to provide for his family. He was an enterprising and accomplished businessman, from
working in the family grocery business as a young man, to venturing on his own in grocery and retail
businesses, as well as commercial real estate. He was a proud father and grandfather, and a good friend to
many. His greatest pleasures were spending time with his granddaughters, dancing at the Jefferson-Orleans
with his wife, and playing golf and poker. He and his wife celebrated their 60th anniversary this year and
were clearly inseparable, as he passed only two days after her. He will be greatly missed and remains
forever in our hearts. Family and friends are invited to attend a joint memorial for John and Rita on

his words, "How high's the water? Mama six feet high and risin'. I will NEVER go through this bullsh*t
again. Sunday night I readied myself to watch the events to come. At 2:00 am we lost electricity, so I
went to sleep. As I awoke to Banshee howls, I knew we were in for a world of Sh*t! The aluminum carport
crashed over the house and into the backyard, through the fence and into the neighbor's yard. At 8:15 AM I
watched the neighbor's tree crash into their house and the water was a risin'. Winds clocked at 125 MPH
tore around us. Sounds I do not want to hear again roared for hours. As the winds shifted from North to
West, shingles zipped off the roof in staccato fashion. The neighbor's shingles slammed into the house.
Windows and walls began to breathe in and out and the water was a risen'. Finally …. Katrina had passed. I
waded and sloshed thru the neighborhood, eyeing in awe the destruction that Mother Nature had left. The
fools such as I, began to emerge from their tattered homes to see what the hell just happened. Toppled
trees, cracked limbs, twisted gutter and siding were all over. In a scene from a war torn country, the
time came to gather supplies. ….Then came the night of the first day. A night as black as coal, serene,
dimly starlit clear skies overhead, eerie quietness broken by the hum of the generator...Gathered in our
cave, this modern stone age family listened to reports of destruction, looting, heroism, cries of
despair..., we were without utilities, low on food, water, fuel, cell phone power. Yet, unbeknownst to us,
the worst was on its way…" Times Picayune 09-01-2009

000251	DAUNS Dr. John Dauns, Professor of Mathematics at Tulane University, born Riga, Latvia, June 11,
1937 (as Jani Drinks), died in New Orleans, June 4, 2009. He is survived by his brother Peter (Jamaica
Plain, MA), his step-brother Helmuts A. Feifs (Durham, NC), and his friend Victoria Slind-Flor (Oakland,
CA). His early years were marked by hardship. In 1941 when German forces arrived, the family of four fled
Latvia. They began a long trek west. Eventually they made their way to the American zone in Germany, and
finally to the US in 1950. John, his mother, and Peter settled in Omaha, Nebraska, and two years later
moved to Boston. John was an MIT undergraduate, and received a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship for graduate
study at Harvard University, earning a PhD in 1964. He then accepted a faculty position at Tulane where he
has been a mathematics professor for 45 years. John was an extremely conscientious teacher, preparing
carefully every detail of his classes. He supervised four doctoral dissertations. In 1971/72 John held a
Humboldt Research Fellowship in Tübingen, Germany, and later held visiting positions at two South African
universities. He was an internationally known algebraist, reporting on his research at numerous
conferences. John authored four books and sixty seven research papers, all but one in the field of
abstract algebra. He also had a lifelong interest in physics. John was devoted to mathematics and could be
found in his office in Gibson Hall almost every day of the week. Yet he did make time for other
activities, which included sky-diving and swimming. It is a little known fact that John had a pilot's
license. John enjoyed good health until early May 2009, when he was told he had liver cancer, and that it
had already metastasized. Shortly afterwards he passed away. A Memorial Service will be held on Thursday,
September 17, 2009 at 3:00 pm in the Rogers Chapel on the Tulane/Newcomb campus. He will be sorely missed
by his colleagues in the Tulane Mathematics Department and worldwide. You are invited to visit

his death, working side by side with his father in the developing and building business. He was devoted to
his parents who were a constant part of his daily life. He will be fondly remembered for his extraordinary

loved ones, his company was indispensable. Our favorite and funniest stories invariably include him, and
they are retold time and again. Like his father, he could be counted on in rough times and was known to,
do, pay or risk nearly anything to to help out one of his own. We will miss the playful and accepting

of New Orleans, Metairie, and Mandeville for 84 years, she is survived by her beloved husband of 61 years,
pediatrician G. James Fruthaler; her children Carolyn Fruthaler Holley and husband Mike Holley, Paula J.
Fruthaler and husband Mike Larkin, and Phil Fruthaler and wife Katherine Fruthaler; and her grandchildren
John and Jessica Holley and Michael Fruthaler. She was preceded in death by her parents, Paul and Edwina
Emling Anderson, and her sister, Yvonne Anderson Champagne. She entered Newcomb College of Tulane
University in 1942 and decided to major in marine biology. Her professor offered her an internship at a
place called Woods Hole in Massachusetts. However, her mother told her that proper young ladies didn't go
so far away from their families, so she transferred to Tulane University's School of Journalism. While
there, she was Editor of the Hullabaloo newspaper and Co-Editor of the Jambalaya yearbook. After
graduating in 1946 with a Bachelor's degree in Journalism, she worked briefly in the Tulane Alumni Office
and then took a position at The Times-Picayune LLC. At the Times-Picayune she was Radio Editor (in the
days before television) as well as Young People's Editor, "Aunt Jane." As Radio Editor she enjoyed having
lunch with Bob Hope, Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy, and Robert Merrill and also interviewed many other
celebrities of the day. As Aunt Jane she oversaw "Aunt Jane's Letter Club," editing a Sunday feature page
that included correspondence and book reports written by local children and coordinating an annual picnic
for members of the Club. On June 5, 1948 she married Dr. G. James Fruthaler Jr. She continued to work at
the Picayune until 1949, when she and her husband moved to Nashville, Tennessee, and she began a new
career as the quintessential 1950's wife and mother. As a 50's mom, she was always home when her children
came home from school, helped them with their homework, and coordinated many fun birthday parties. She was
a Brownie and Girl Scout Troop Leader and Cub Scout Den Mother for her children and others. A self-taught
cook, she made the best red beans and rice and crawfish etoufee in town. When her husband decided that
camping was the best way to take family vacations, she learned to cook over a camp stove and sat patiently
for hours washing clothes at laundromats while the rest of the family explored whatever town they happened
to be in. However, she also loved gardening and made sure her yard was full of colorful flowers. She was
active in Beverly Knoll and Whitney Heights Garden Clubs and the Louisiana Garden Club Federation,
exercising her talents in writing and organization by serving as newsletter editor as well as in various
other offices. She helped develop Lafreniere Park in Metairie and was one of the first Great Ladies of
Jefferson Parish, recognized by the Ladies Auxiliary of East Jefferson Hospital. She was a member of the
Orleans Club. In recent years, she and her husband enjoyed extensive travel, frequently in company of
family and friends. They enjoyed visits to many different destinations in the United States and Europe,
particularly Hawaii and Orlando, where she no longer had to cook over a camp stove. The family would like
to invite friends for a visitation on Saturday, September 26, 2009 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at Lake Lawn
Metairie Funeral Home, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd., New Orleans, LA 70124, which will include a memorial

Tulane University in 1942 and decided to major in Marine Biology. Her professor offered her an internship
at a place called Woods Hole in Massachusetts. However, her mother told her that proper young ladies
didn't go so far away from their families, so she transferred to Tulane University's School of Journalism.
While there, she was Editor of the Hullabaloo newspaper and Co-Editor of the Jambalaya Yearbook. After
graduating in 1946 with a Bachelor's degree in Journalism, she worked briefly in the Tulane Alumni Office
and then took a position at The Times-Picayune, LLC. At the Times-Picayune she was Radio Editor (in the
days before television) as well as Young People's Editor, "Aunt Jane." As Radio Editor she enjoyed having
lunch with Bob Hope, Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy, and Robert Merrill and also interviewed many other
celebrities of the day. As Aunt Jane she oversaw "Aunt Jane's Letter Club," editing a Sunday feature page
that included correspondence and book reports written by local children and coordinating an annual picnic
for members of the Club. On June 5, 1948 she married Dr. G. James Fruthaler Jr. She continued to work at
the Picayune until 1949, when she began a new career as the quintessential 1950's wife and mother. As a
50's mom, she was always home when her children came home from school, helped them with their homework,
and coordinated many fun birthday parties. She was a Brownie and Girl Scout Troop Leader and Cub Scout Den
Mother for her children and others. A self-taught cook, she made the best red beans and rice and crawfish
etoufee in town. When her husband decided that camping was the best way to take family vacations, she
learned to cook over a camp stove and sat patiently for hours washing clothes at laundromats while the
rest of the family explored whatever town they happened to be in. However, she also loved gardening and
made sure her yard was full of colorful flowers. She was active in Beverly Knoll and Whitney Heights
Garden Clubs and the Louisiana Garden Club Federation, exercising her talents in writing and organization
by serving as newsletter editor as well as in various other offices. She helped develop Lafreniere Park in
Metairie and was one of the first Great Ladies of Jefferson Parish, recognized by the Ladies Auxiliary of
East Jefferson Hospital. She was a member of the Orleans Club. In recent years, she and her husband
enjoyed extensive travel, frequently in company of family and friends. They enjoyed visits to many
different destinations in the United States and Europe, particularly Hawaii and Orlando, where she no
longer had to cook over a camp stove. The family would like to invite friends for a visitation on
Saturday, September 26, 2009 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home, 5100 Pontchartrain

Hubie played 14 years in the minors. His best year was 1952 when he hit .327 and had 167 hits playing for
Clovis in the West Texas-New Mexico League but it was also his best year because he met his wife Pauline.
Known for his long home runs in the Minors, Hubie was called up by the Washington Senators the last week
of the season in 1952 but like in the movie "Bull Durham", he never got to bat in a Major League game. He
also signed with the Boston Red Socks. While stationed in Hawaii during WWII, Hubie played for the Navy
All-Star team that won the Central Pacific Championship in 1943, competing with such players as Phil
Rizzuto, Pee Wee Reese, Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio. Hubie served as a Pharmacist's Mate Second Class
and received his Honorable Discharge in December 1945. In the latter part of his life he enjoyed dancing
with his companion, Jane and his friends. The relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend

a China Medical Board Fellowship for the study of tropical medicine in Costa Rica, Salvador, and
Guatamala. In 1958 he joined a LSU Medical School safari to Kenya to study atherosclerosis in baboons
which led to the discovery that these primates were reservoir hosts of schsitosomiasis in East Africa. In
1966 he was a Visiting Professor at the Medical School of the National Univeristy of Mexico, where he
conducted a graduate course in medical parasitology and trained staff members in electron microscopy. In

curriculum which addressed their tropical medicine problems and proposed a medical school in Abha, Saudi
Arabia. He was also a longstanding Visiting Professor at the University of Alabama Medical Center in
Birmingham where he presented invited lectures to medical students. After his retirement he continued
teaching and was Co-Director of a yearly elective tropical medicine course for medical personnel held in
San Jose, Costa Rica sponsored by the LSU Medical School and the faculty of the University of Costa Rica.
Dr. Miller's research, supported by the National Institute of Health and the United States Army, was
primarily electron microscopy studies of parasites and their mechanisms for producing pathology. He was
the author of over 80 scientific articles and book chapters, an elected officer of the Electron Microscopy
Society of America (1970 -91), a member of the editorial committees of a number of scientific journals,
and a member of many national and international scientific organizations including Sigma Xi, a scientific
research society. Dr. Miller served three years of active duty as a combat medic with the Second Calvary
(Mechanized) during WWII on the European front including Normandy Beach, France and Germany. His unit
served under General George S. Patton and was influential in saving the famed Lipizzaner Stallions whose
safety at the Spanish Riding School in Vienna was feared. He also performed in the USO Band with Bob Hope
and attended Biarritz University for a year. Afterwards he remained in the U.S. Army Reserves assigned to
the 4010th U.S. Army Medical Hospital in New Orleans. He had been the unit's Executive Officer for many
years and retired with the rank of Colonel in 1984 after serving over 32 years. He was awarded numerous
commendations in his career, including the Meritorious Service Medal, Army Commendation Medal, American
Campaign Medal, European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal, World War II Victory Medal and the Army
Reserve Components Achievement Medal. In November 2008 Dr. Miller was honored by the Centennial Chapter of

000677	MORALES Helene Z. Morales died on Thursday, September 3, 2009 at her New Orleans residence. A
native and lifelong resident of New Orleans, LA except for a short period when she lived in New York at
the Algonquin Hotel and the Upper East side. Daughter of the late Ben and Sylvia Morales. Sister of Evelyn
Benjamin. Helene attended Newcomb College and Tulane University. She was a longtime airline employee,
working for Eastern, National and PanAm airlines. She was an avid reader and loyal friend, including best
friend Gail Donlen of Warner Robbins, GA, special friend Richard Palmer and Dr. Richard Kaufman (her first
oncologist now retired) of New Rochelle, NY. She loved "the law". Her mentor, Buddy Lemann introduced her
to a passion that would last forever. She herself wrote and filed a "writ application" for a certiorari to
the United States Supreme Court on a pending case she handled in federal court. A final case prior to her
illness was won in the lower court, but was appealed. She wrote a letter by hand to the Louisiana Supreme
Court. When it was received, immediately it was decided this letter would suffice in place of a
supervisory writ application. Had the outcome been in her favor, perhaps she would still be alive today.
Appreciation to Mark, Juliette and Holly. Thanks to Marshall at Mandina's, Chris at Houston's and Nash at
Clancey's. Special thanks to Rob and all of the employees at the Waldorf Towers in Manhattan that made
every stay so special. All of you worked very hard to make that last stay happen, but Helene was too sick
to travel. You can't imagine the difference you always made. There were also interesting and special
moments, such as New Year's Eve with Paul Newman, meeting with President Clinton, luncheons at "the
Mansion" in Baton Rouge with Governor Edwards. During a final farewell party at Gallier Hall, Helene told
the governor what she would miss most was the "Wednesday luncheons", to which he replied, "Come tomorrow".
She was honored to participate in Mayor Sidney Barthelemy's second inauguration and was asked to be an
usher at the swearing in ceremony. She was a person of great integrity and had simple and pure values. She
was generous in many ways no one knew about and gave to the needy without being asked, knowing they could
never return the favor or benefit her in any way. She always did what she thought was right, regardless of
what others may have thought. She was brave and smiling to the very end. Surely now you are where every
angel should be. May God bless you and watch over you forever. Funeral Services will be held on Sunday,
September 6, 2009 at 12:00 noon from the Metairie home of THARP-SONTHEIIMER-THARP, 1600 N. Causeway Blvd.

000773	RICHARDSON Gillian Christabel Richardson (née Spilman) (October 6, 1939 - September 25, 2009)
Dearly beloved Gillian Richardson passed away peacefully at home in Amesbury, Mass. on the morning of
September 25 after a four-and-a-half-year battle with breast cancer. She would have been 70 on October 6th
and was looking forward to her birthday celebrations to the last. Gillian Spilman was born the elder
daughter of Eric Wallace Spilman and Christabel Shillitoe shortly after the outbreak of World War II at
Ashford in Kent (UK). A keen horsewoman, skier and naturalist, she was educated at Greycoats School,
Oxford and followed a career in animal husbandry. In 1959 she established a mink-farm on her father's
manorial estate in Standlake, Oxfordshire which at its height numbered 7,500 animals. Gillian soon became
a national pioneer in the treatment and cure of little-understood diseases afflicting this breed. She
managed similar farms in Scotland for several years afterwards and never lost her interest in horses, dogs
and the rearing of tropical fish. During her seven years in New Orleans, Louisiana she worked at the
city's Audubon Zoo specializing in the Swamp Exhibit and the care of alligators, otters, foxes and the
Louisiana black bear. In June of 1968 Gillian was married to Charles Arthur Richardson of Quarndon in
Derbyshire by whom she had two sons Rupert Arthur Richardson (b. 1972) and Benjamin George Richardson (b.
1975). She married her second husband Henry Wells Sullivan in October of 1999 at Cambridge (UK). With him
she collaborated on numerous play-scripts and also wrote the lyrics to "Lyla's Lullaby" - a gift for her
granddaughter's second birthday. She is survived by her first and second husbands Charles and Henry, son
Rupert and his wife Kim, their two children Lyla (3) and Giles (2 months), son Benjamin and his wife
Susanna, and her younger sister Judy Linford. Her cremated remains will be transported in a biodegradable
urn to England and buried under an oak-tree in Derbyshire. Family and friends will celebrate her 70th
birthday in Bethel, Maine as planned on October 4th -7th - as a tribute to her life rather than as a
funeral service - with her ashes present and surrounded by photos and other memorabilia that meant a great
deal to her. A service of remembrance will be held on Sunday October 4th at 12:00 p.m. at Blue, The Inn on
the Beach, 20 Fordham Way, Plum Island in Newbury, MA 01951. Her funeral arrangements are entrusted to the
Twomey - LeBlanc and Conte Funeral Home, 193 High Street, Newburyport, MA 01953. To leave her family on-
line condolences, please visit www.contefuneralhomes.com. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in

Root of Sherman Oaks, California, and Richard Root of New Orleans, LA; their spouses, grandsons: Cody,
Alex and Casey Root; and many adoring nieces, cousins, and friends. Leona Root was born on July 18, 1924,
in Riverside, Illinois, to Judith Erickson and Leon Dickinson. The youngest of three daughters born to her
Swedish immigrant mother, she was raised in Teaneck, New Jersey and Boothbay Harbor, Maine, where her
Uncle, Frank Allen, headed the Boothbay Studios Art School. Leona grew up surrounded by the Arts. Her
Aunt, Ruth Erickson, was a noted pottery artist with the Grueby-Faience studio in Boston, Mass, and her
father was a skilled cartographer who invented the AAA TripTik map system. Leona attended Pratt Art
institute in New York City in the 1940s, where she risked arrest for hiding a classmate's elderly Japanese
mother in her dorm room to protect her from forced deportation to a Japanese internment camp. Leona
eventually moved to Sarasota, Florida with her recently widowed sister and three beloved nieces. There,
while working for the Sarasota Herald-Tribune as a graphic artist, she met her future husband, Rolland C.
Root of Rawlings, Wyoming. So began a happy and chaotic lifelong journey, as the couple moved frequently
about the country following her husband's career as a civil engineer, living in Florida, Louisiana,
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Washington, and in Veracruz and Mexico City, Mexico. Wherever she lived,
she quickly found a circle of new, lifelong friends, and her love of life and infectious laughter
complimented her husband's dry sense of humor perfectly. She was preceded in death by her parents,
husband, and older sisters Ruth and Helen. A Memorial Service will be held in Vero Beach, Florida at a

to them. Friends and family are invited to celebrate his life at a Memorial Mass on Saturday, September

000943	WILBY Langfitt Bowditch (Bun) Wilby passed away on Sunday, September 6, 2009 at Poydras Home in New
Orleans, LA. He was born on October 7, 1912 in Quarters #10, Fort Leslie J. McNair, Washington, D.C., the
son of Major General Francis B., and Dorothy Langfitt Wilby. He graduated from the Baylor School in
Chattanooga, Tennessee in 1930. He received an appointment to West Point in 1931, and entered that year
with the Class of 1935. After graduating from the Military Academy and receiving his regular army
commission, he was assigned to the Field Artillery at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. Shortly thereafter he
transferred to the Corps of Engineers and was assigned as a Battalion Stable Officer with the 2nd
Engineers at Ft. Logan, Colorado, an old frontier post. One of his assignments there was to take one of
the last horse drawn wagon trains in the U.S. army (complete with heavy-drinking mule skinners) on
maneuvers to Cheyenne, Wyoming. In 1938 he received his Masters in Civil Engineering from the University
of California at Berkeley, and was nominated to the National Honorary Scientific Society, Sigma Xi on the
merits of his thesis on Fluid Flow in Open Channels. His love affair with Louisiana began when he was
assigned to the 2nd New Orleans Engineer District in 1938. It was there that he met his future wife, Routh
Trowbridge from Franklin, whom he married in 1941 while serving in Puerto Rico. In March 1942, he was
assigned to the 81st Infantry (Fighting Wildcat) Division where he would serve throughout the war,
participating in amphibious and combat operations at Angar and Pelilieu, and mop up operations on Leyte.
In September of 1945, he landed in Tokyo and was put in charge of unloading a backlog of 183 ships waiting
in Tokyo Harbor. In 1946-48, he supervised the reconstruction of Misawa Airbase at the northern tip of
Honshu Island in Japan, a base still in use to this day. In the post-war period he had various command and
staff assignments with the Corps of Engineers in New Orleans, Idaho, Washington State, Upstate New York,
Virginia, and Japan. In 1958, he returned from Japan to Vicksburg, Mississippi, where he became Secretary
of the Mississippi River Commission until 1960. His final 3 years of military service were spent as a
Professor of Military Science at Rice University in Houston, where he retired as a Colonel after 28 years
of service in 1963. He subsequently joined Brown & Root in Houston where he wrote the project management
manual for the design of offshore oil platforms, and served as a Special Assistant to the President until
retiring again in 1977. After consulting for BR for another 2 years, he fully retired in 1979. Since 1979,
his great loves have been family, the community, and sailing. He sailed his boat regularly on Galveston
Bay and the Gulf of Mexico and brought it over to Cypremort Point when he and Routh sold the house in
Texas and moved to Dixie Plantation in Franklin in 1986. While in Franklin, in 1991, he was a founder of
the St. Mary Literacy Council which addressed the issue of adult illiteracy in the community. He was a
past President of the Southwest Civic Club in Houston, and was active with both Boy and Girl Scout Troops
there. He was also an active member of his church, and served on the vestry of both Palmer Episcopal
Church in Houston, and St Mary's in Franklin. He is survived by 4 children: William L. Wilby, of Rumson,
New Jersey, Mary Wilby Schreiber of New Orleans, LA, Elizabeth Wilby Hunter of Houston, TX and Thomas S.
Wilby of Atlanta, GA; his sister-in-law, Elizabeth Trowbridge Henslee, 7 grandchildren, and one great-
grandchild. The family would like to extend special thanks to Mrs. Shirley Chatman, Poydras Home, and all
of his other loving care-givers at Dixie over the past few years. The family requests that visiting hours

is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its
own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with truth.
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." Simply put, she was
extraordinarily happy and one of the most generous, loving and gracious people ever. She truly was heaven
sent and meant everything to those around her. She will be missed as a mother, grandmother, aunt, and
friend. A funeral Mass will be celebrated at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, September 11, 2009 at St. Mary's
