She was born to James J. Jr. and Joycelyn M. Arroyo, on November 19, 1948, in New Orleans, LA. She attended St. Mary's Dominican High School, and received her Bachelor of Science and Master of Education degrees from Louisiana State University. Neesie was a dynamic and passionate teacher for 35 years who had a specialist degree in reading and a certification in severe and profound special education and dedicated herself to the noble and challenging profession of teaching children with severe emotional problems. She was also an avid lover of nature and of animals. She owned four horses: Arabella, Emma, Eminence, and Cody, with whom she spent much of her free time. She was able to skillfully parlay her love of teaching and of nature and animals by developing programs for her students to interact with her horses, other animals, and nature. Her creative programs proved therapeutic for her emotionally disturbed students and she was always striving to learn new ways to keep her students engaged, inspired, and excited about learning. Her horse therapy program received wide acclaim and in 1990 she was invited by President George H. Bush to travel to Moscow to instruct educators and health care workers on her findings. She was a great ambassador for her profession and was chosen to travel nationally and internationally to various conferences to share ideas and develop relationships. She was the president of the Baton Rouge Audubon Society, a member of the United States Dressage Federation, Phi Kappa Delta Honorary Educational Fraternity, and Delta Kappa Gamma Honorary Educational Sorority, among other merits and citations too numerous to mention here. Neesie was also an International Special Olympics Volunteer, Louisiana Project Wild Facilitator, Louisiana Clean Team coordinator and volunteer, and supporter of the Battered Womens' Crisis Intervention Center. She was a beloved daughter, sister, aunt and friend and was surrounded by her family and loved ones in her final hours. The family is extremely grateful to her wonderful friends who supported her through her sickness. Neesie is survived by her parents, and six sisters and brothers: Cynthia A. Rucker, Christine A.

Folse, age 52, an attorney and resident of Baton Rouge, LA died on Friday, February 12th, 2010 at 12:30 pm in a tragic accident in St. James Parish, on Hwy. 70, near the Sunshine Bridge. Born in Donald-sonville, LA, Nathan graduated from St. James Parish High School, Xavier University of Louisiana, and Southern University Law Center. Nathan had a special gift. He could "walk with kings but never lost the common touch." His friendships were as diverse as his many interests that included hunting, boating, RVing, weekly visits to movie theatres, and shopping at sporting goods retailers. He had an affinity for gadgets, high tech devices, sporting equipment and big boy toys. Nathan always spoke with a cautious tongue, never saying too much but just enough to answer the question or satisfy the listener. He was a great comforter, advisor, mentor and role-model to many and will certainly be missed by all those who loved him and valued his friendship. He was a member of the Baton Rouge Bar Association, LA State Bar Association, LA Association of Trial Lawyers, Beta Tau Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, Louis A. Martinet Legal Society and the Monday Night Football Club. He started his legal practice as a law clerk with Baton Rouge City Court, continuing with the Office of St. James Parish Public Defenders, Assistant City Attorney for Donaldsonville, then as an Assistant District Attorney for the 23rd Judicial District. In the last 5 years, in addition to maintaining private practices located in both Baton Rouge and Donaldsonville, LA, he was the attorney for the South Louisiana Port Commission. Although a beloved husband, father, son, brother, cousin, uncle, great-uncle and a friend to many, his most important role and greatest accomplishment was fathering his two surviving children: Melissa Michelle and Nathan J. Folse, Jr. Nathan is also survived by his beloved wife of 30 years, Joni Moret Folse; mother, Vivian H. Folse; brother, Robert K. Bowman, Sr. and wife Sue Lynn; mother-in-law, Orita P. Moret, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Nathan was preceded in death by his father, Nathan Oscar Folse; brother, Nathan Oscar Folse, Jr., and father-in-law, Curtis A. Moret Sr. Visiting is at St. George Catholic Church at 7808 St. George Drive, Baton Rouge, LA from 9:00 am Friday, February 19th, 2010 until Mass of Christian Burial at 11:00 am conducted by Rev.

He was 57 years old. Survived by his loving wife of 30 years Deborah Magnon Huling; daughters Amanda Huling Aucoin and Gabriela Caitling Huling; son Kyle Magnon Huling; son-in- law Ralph Aucoin, Jr. and daughter-in-law Brittany Vanek Huling; brother Jeff Huling and sister Ann Huling. He was preceded in death by parents Daniel and Elaine Huling of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Huling was a graduate of Loyola University of New Orleans where he received his undergraduate and master's degrees in business administration. He was an active parishioner at St. Matthew the Apostle Church in River Ridge. His days at Loyola catapulted him into the industry and life he loved. Early on, together with several classmates who became friends, and friends who became business partners, he wove Fat Harry's Bar and West End Cafe into integral parts of the New Orleans cultural and social fabric, making both places veritable New Orleans "institutions" that became household words in every neighborhood from Uptown to Lakeview. Carl defined the best in what it meant to be part of the "hospitality" industry. His success was borne out of a true love of his family, friends, and employees. This in turn made him a noticeably generous host. His love and concern drove him hard and gave him an exciting and enthusiastic vision that made the conditions ripe for him to garner good times for virtual millions. The pure volume of the business--the fact that almost every New Orleanian has indeed graced the inside of Fat Harry's or enjoyed a good meal at West End--shows the scope and magnitude of his entire body of his life's work. In doing so, he changed the face of Uptown, Lakeview and the city at large, making these areas of our city never the same again. A significant many will forever be indebted. A grateful citizen, Carl was especially proud and happy to give back to the city he loved so much and be one of the first to re-establish his business after Katrina, feeding countless First Responders and volunteers for weeks after the storm. The family would like to thank those who cared for him at Ochsner Hospital throughout his illness.

He was 76 years old. Mr. Katz was the son of the late Meyer and Juliette Katz. He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Judy. The two of them have been avid duplicate bridge players for many years. Mr. Katz is also survived by his children: William "Billy" Katz (wife Jana), Terry Katz Weaver (husband Brad), Josh David Katz, the late Steven Maurice Katz and Lisa Katz. Hippo's grandchildren include: Ryan Grace Katz, Mason Katz, Brooks Weaver, Braden Weaver, Reese Weaver, Meyer and Courtney Katz. Hippo was a successful insurance executive with clients throughout South Louisiana. He was best known as one of the leading political figures in New Orleans and Jefferson Parish. For more than 30 years, Katz was involved in political campaigns in New Orleans and Jefferson, as a major contributor to candidates, as a campaign strategist and a friend to people in politics. Hippo, whose nickname was suggestive of his girth, was famous for his sense of humor, his laughter, his good cheer, his optimism and his ability to tell hilarious stories. His greatest quality was his incredible generosity, some say "to a fault". In the 1980s, Hippo served on the staff of the late Mayor Dutch Morial and became one of Dutch's best friends. He lost his dearest friend of many years, Sheriff Harry Lee, almost two years ago. Hippo missed Harry greatly and continued to speak of him daily. Hippo spoke of the time when he could see Harry again and play booray and poker with his friend from above. Hippo considered himself one of the most fortunate and blessed people in the Metro area. A graduate of Newman High School and Tulane University, he was proud of his accomplishments, of his marriage of more than a half centruy to Judy and the achievements of his children and grandcildren. He also greatly enjoyed his fame as a political analyst, gained from his appearance on a local TV show, "Louisiana Newsmaker". Hippo was involved in many philanthropic endeavors. He recently began an effort to start a fundraising campaign to build a lighting system at Kirsch-Rooney Stadium on Delgado's campus so baseball games can be played at night there. It was Hippo's dream to help future generations of New Orleans and Metro area baseball players have the opportunity to fulfill their dreams of playing baseball. For more information about Hippo's foundation, call Saundra Levy at the Jewish Endowment Foundation here, (504) 524-4559. In what turned out to be the last week of his life, Hippo told friends he thought of himself as an incredibly lucky guy. He said that when he was young, he never could have imagined that he would have so many friends or that he would have become so well-known. Graveside ceremonies were conducted Wednesday at Lake Lawn Cemetery with Rabbi Edward P. Cohn of Temple Sinai officiating. 2/5/2010 **************************************** 000473 KATZ Maurice (Hippo) Katz on February 2, 2010 at his residence in Metairie, La. Age 76 years.

At 6' 4" tall and well over 300 pounds, he could have been a professional football player but instead became a world-class computer scientist and technical manager. Although Jim had multiple degrees from several universities, including a BS in Geology, an MS in Geochemistry and an MS in Computer Engineering from the University of Toledo, Ohio, his greatest accomplishment was in bringing a team together and getting them to perform extraordinary feats. Jim started his career in 1976 at Raytheon in Bedford, MA, leading the team that developed simulation software for the Patriot missile. Following a short stint at RCA, he moved to Sanders and began what became a thirty year relationship with Lockheed Martin. When there was a major program that needed top notch leadership, they sent Jim. He managed major programs in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Louisiana and Virginia. His teams ranged from 25 to 2,500 people and his last major program was winning and running the FBI's $300 million dollar Sentinel program, providing critical information to 30,000 law enforcement personnel. Jim, ultimately, was as much a family man as a consummate executive. His wife of over 30 years, Robbin, was his true soul mate, who he lost to Leukemia two years ago after a long battle with the disease. He has had a close relationship with his sister, Maureen, one year his senior, since they lived in Toledo and for several years in New Hampshire. When Maureen and her husband, Terry, moved to Virginia's Eastern Shore, they were delighted that Jim and Robbin purchased the waterfront lot next door and Jim has lived there for the last two years. In addition to boating, he was Treasurer of the local SPCA and loved his four dogs and three cats. It is a sad irony that, following a low key celebration of his 60th birthday on February 18th, he had severe head and back pains and drove himself to the hospital at about 2:30 am that same night. He called Maureen at 5:30 am to let us know he was in the hospital. His condition, which the doctors were unable to definitively diagnose but suspected might be an aortic aneurism, was severe enough that an air ambulance was called to take him to a Norfolk hospital. Maureen got there in time to have fifteen minutes with Jim. As he was being put on the gurney for the short trip to the helicopter he experienced a terminal seizure from which he could not be resuscitated. Although we are deeply affected by his loss, he is reunited with Robbin and free from pain. His wishes were to be cremated and we will hold a memorial service with refreshments for him and distribute his ashes at our house at 4375 White Tail Lane in Machipongo, VA on Saturday, February 27, 2010 @ 4:00 p.m. Please let us know by email ( maureen@tidewaterfarm.com ) or phone (757-678-7520) if you are planning to come. He requested that any remembrances be made to the Eastern Shore SPCA at PO Box 164, Onley, VA 23418. He is survived by his sister, Maureen Lawrence, and many cousins, nieces and nephews. Memory tributes may be sent to the family at www.williamsfuneralhomes.com.

The son of John Charles Ward and Mary Walsh Ward, the brother of John Charles Ward, Jr., and uncle of Patricia Ward, all of whom predeceased him, Mr. Ward is survived by a niece, Aileen Ward Tischauser, three nephews, Stephen Ward, James Ward and Christopher Ward and his former wife, Karen Walsh, all of the Chicago area. A graduate of Marquette University, Mr. Ward embarked on several different careers throughout his life, including spending time as a teacher, a cab driver and working offshore. Known as "Pa" to the staff of the Bluebird Restaurant, Mr Ward would come early and help set up the restaurant for opening. He was also a familiar sight behind the counter at the newsstand, which he owned and operated for several years pre-Katrina in the Baronne Building on the corner of Baronne and Common. Throughout his life, Mr. Ward faced many challenges, including the gradual loss of his sight. A quiet, gentle man, who rarely complained, Mr. Ward resolutely set out to learn new skills and a new way of life which allowed him to maintain his independence. Following the closure of the Baronne Building and the loss of his business as a result of Hurricane Katrina, Mr. Ward decided to retire. He continued to expand his horizons and began taking computer classes at the Lighthouse for the Blind although he was by then completely blind. His retirement allowed him more time to devote to his beloved Saints and Chicago Cubs. No matter what he was doing, Mr. Ward always took time to help a friend. A gathering to share stories and celebrate the life of Patrick Ward will be held at Schoen Funeral Home, 3728 Canal Street, on Saturday, February 20, 2010, between the hours of 2:00 p.m., and 3:30 p.m. If you have photographs of Pat Ward which you would like to share at that gathering, please bring them with you.

Wade's many friends are invited to attend the gathering which will honor and celebrate his rich life as an artist, bon vivant and exceptional friend and kinsman. Those attending are encouraged to bring Wade's artwork to display during the gathering. Wade, age 58, died January 20, 2010, from the aftermath of a cerebral hemorrhage. He was born June 21, 1951, in Montgomery, Ala., the son of the late Eureka and Harrison Welch. He graduated from Lee High School in Montgomery then attended the University of Alabama. He received an undergraduate degree in finance and a master's degree in communications. Wade worked in development and public relations for Miles College (Birmingham), the Atlanta Ballet, the Baton Rouge Symphony, Baton Rouge Arts Council, and the Louisiana Secretary of State. He moved to New Orleans in 1983 to manage the 927 Art Gallery in the French Quarter. He later worked for Le Pavilion Hotel and the riding stables at City Park. He was very active in the Baton Rouge Polo Club and also taught riding in Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Wade emerged as a serious artist in the 1980s. His whimsical, highly detailed pen and ink drawings were exhibited in New Orleans and Baton Rouge galleries and published in a wide variety of magazines, newspapers and books. The strikingly original drawings showcased the world of the "Mugwumps," Wade's idiosyncratic tribe of sharp-featured grande dames, domineering children, rotund captains of industry, over-confident hostesses, befuddled art patrons and unlikely philosophers of daily life. His work is in many private collections as well as the Louisiana State Museum and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. At the time of his death he was represented by the Coup d'oeil Gallery in New Orleans. Wade is survived by his sister, Patsy Welch Jordan, and husband Pete, Troy, Ala., his brother Blitz Welch, and wife Amanda, Montgomery, Ala., an uncle, George L. Welch, Tuscaloosa, Ala., an aunt, Marguerite Welch Jones, Sheffield, Ala., eight nieces and nephews, a host of cousins, and many devoted friends and companions. At his request, Wade's remains were cremated. The family suggests that any memorials in his honor be made to the First Unitarian Universalist Church of New Orleans or the Welch Family foundations through the Greater New Orleans Foundation (www.gnof.org).. 2/20/2010 **************************************** 000944 WELCH A Celebration of the Life of Walter Wade Welch will be held Saturday, February 20, 2010 at 2:00 p.m., at the First Unitarian Universalist Church, South Claiborne and Jefferson Streets, New Orleans, La.

Born in New Orleans, La. to Edward and Ruth (Murphy) Zimmermann. Brother to Edward, Ruth Cortes, and Sister Rita Zimmermann, all deceased. Jim was, and will always be remembered as a true New Orleanian. He attended Jesuit High School and Loyola University there, met his wife of 43 years, the former Julie Rose Strauss there, and continued to delight in sharing his love of the history and cuisine of New Orleans with those who also called New Orleans home, and others unaware of that great city's charms. Jim enlisted in the Navy before the U.S. entered WWII, and saw action in the Battles of the Coral Sea and Midway on the U.S.S. Yorktown, surviving its sinking, next serving on a minesweeper, the U.S.S. Herald in the Aleutians campaign. He ended the war as a warrant officer aboard the U.S.S. Core, first in the Atlantic to antisubmarine duty, and then back to the Pacific for the war's end. He continued his naval career in the reserves, retiring as a Lieutenant Commander. After a long career, working in the oil and gas industry, he retired as his position as director of the accounting division at Columbia Gas Development, relocating from Houston, TX, Jim and his wife Julie realized their shared dream, making Hot Springs Village their home. Sadly, Julie passed away in 1988, but Jim continued to enjoy his friends, family, and love of the Village, and a good game of bridge. He was an active parishioner at Sacred Heart Catholic Church for almost 30 years, and also served as a former treasurer there. Jim was a valued member of the Village Bridge Players, earning the title "Life Master". At 91 years of age, he was that indeed. He will be dearly missed by his many friends, fellow parishioners, and card players. He remains a strong role model for his sons, daughters, grand and great-grandchildren, who will always hold him close in their hearts with the greatest of affection and love, supported by many cherished memories. James is survived by his four loving children: James R. Zimmermann, Jr. of Flippin, Arkansas, and his wife Philomena; Timothy Kevin Zimmermann, of San Leandro, Ca., and his wife Linda; Julie Alice Zimmermann, of Brooklyn, NY; and Louise Miller of Lake Kiowa, TX, and her husband Harry. "Gramps" also leaves behind 9 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren, and cousins and nephews. "Big Jimmy"as he was lovingly called, also takes leave of his 10 great- grandchildren.. In New Orleans, his cousins are C.J, Billy, Jimmy, Bernadette, Adrian, Eileen and Jimmy Murphy, Barbara Rizzo, Patsy and Kathleen Garvey and Marie Nelson. Originally from New Orleans, are also his nephews David, Richard and Edward Cortes, and his niece, the late Silvia Cortes Beaupain, their wives and children. "Daddy" lived a happy and full life, and although we are so blessed to have been gifted his love, we feel a mammoth loss at his passing. May God's pure light shine upon him. May he rest in eternal peace! Visitation will be at Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church on Monday, February 22, 2010 from 4:30 - 5:30 pm, with Rosary starting at 5:30.
