000032	ARMSTRONG Richard (Dick) Williams Armstrong, Jr., 81, of New Orleans, LA and
Midland, TX passed away on March 13, 2010 after a six year battle with prostate cancer.
Dick was born to Richard W. Armstrong and Harriet E. (Powell) Armstrong in Conneaut, Ohio
on Independence Day, July 4, 1928, which probably accounts for his lifelong love and
appreciation of America and American history. He grew up in Conneaut next door to the farm
that had been in his family since the 1880s and graduated from Rowe High School in 1946.
Dick attended Ohio State University, graduating in 1953 with a BS in Education. After
graduating, he served from 1953-55 as a Lieutenant in the US Army Signal Corps 9494 TSU
working in electronic warfare operations in Japan and Korea. Dick returned to the States
and enrolled in Marietta College where he received his degree in Petroleum Engineering in
1957. It was here that he met the love of his life, Sue Jackson. After a whirlwind
romance, they were married on June 8, 1957, and have enjoyed over 52 wonderful years
together. Dick worked for Continental Oil Company (Conoco) for 30 years in production
engineering, operations, training and safety in such places as Denver City, Wichita Falls,
Abilene, and Midland, TX, Artesia, NM, and New Orleans, LA. After retiring from Conoco, he
became the first Executive Director for Clean Gulf Associates (a non-profit oil spill
response organization for the offshore production industry in the Gulf of Mexico) for 17
years, retiring in 2004. In 2005 he was awarded a Corporate Leadership Award by the
Minerals Management Service for his work at CGA that improved oil spill response in the
Gulf. In recognition for his years of dedicated service, Clean Gulf commissioned the M/V
RW Armstrong, a 46' rapid response oil skimming vessel. Over the years Dick worked the
election polls in Texas and Louisiana, plus participated in neighborhood associations. He
was a 50-year member of the Evergreen #222 Masonic Lodge in Conneaut, Ohio. Dick was an
avid jogger until health issues overtook him, participating in over 17 Crescent City
Classic, Turkey Day, Corporate, and Bridge races in New Orleans. He also enjoyed
traveling, having been to 49 of the 50 states, hunting in New Mexico, Louisiana and
Colorado, and reading, especially early American history and biographies. One special trip
Sue and Dick made was to renew their vows for their 50th wedding anniversary by Reverend
Paul Whipple, the minister who married them. He was preceded in death by his parents, his
sister, Ruth Horwood, grandson, Trevor Pitts, and brother-in-law Tom Reed. Those left to
cherish his memory are his wife, Sue Armstrong of New Orleans; two daughters, Jeanne Pitts
and her husband David, Midland, TX and Marjory Armstrong, New Orleans; a son, Brian
Armstrong and fiancée Stefanie, New Orleans; and three grandchildren, Jennifer, Nick and
Sara Pitts. He is also survived by his father-in-law, Robert Jackson, and sister-in-law,
Bonna Reed; brother-in-law Donald Horwood and his wife Pat; nieces Joanne Turner, Dianne
Hicks, and Dorothy Reed and nephews Aaron Horwood, and Robert, Garvan, Ben, and Casey
Reed. Arrangements are being handled by Marcy Funeral Home, 208 Liberty St., Conneaut,
Ohio. Family viewing and services are at the funeral home on Saturday, March 27, at 2 p.m.
with calling hours from noon until the time of the service at 2:00 P.M. Burial will be at
the family burial site in Kelloggsville Cemetery, Monroe Township, OH, where six
generations of his family are interred. Pall bearers are Brian Armstrong, Aaron Horwood,
Donald Horwood, David Pitts, Nicholas Pitts, and Edward Powell. Honorary pall bearers are
David Dietz, John McQuilkin, Frankie Palmisano, Frank Paskewich, Bill Powell, Jerry
Puffer, Alan Punkar, Harry Rich, and Edward "Bud" Wheeler. The family would like to
express their deepest thanks to Dr. Christopher Theodossiou at Ochsner Cancer Institute
for his expertise, kindness and compassion these last few years; Robbin and Chris Murray
for all of their invaluable help and thoughtfulness; Tom Reardon for his special help
during these last few years; and Dick's nurse, "JoJo" Johnson, and the staff of Serenity
Hospice Service for their wonderful compassionate care during the final month of Dick's
illness. The family suggests memorials in his name be made to the Prostate Cancer

Michael and Tommy Aucoin; five grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, as well as numerous
other family and friends throughout the New Orleans area and her native Everett,
Massachusetts. Hazel married watchmaker and local businessman Hubert "Bert" Aucoin and
together founded Aucoin Hart Jewelers. When Bert died suddenly in 1972, Hazel faced an
uncertain future, yet remained committed to her late husband's dream. Thru a tireless work
ethic and great personal sacrifice, Hazel set an example which her sons would follow in
bringing their family business into national prominence. Though her business was a great
success, her greatest legacy is the strength of her character. Throughout her life she
made deep impressions of selflessness, loyalty, honesty, determination and strength. She
was never afraid to make difficult decisions for the right reasons. She touched all those
who knew her with a determined and generous spirit. She spent the last years of her life
surrounded by a growing family she lovingly dedicated her life to. It is at Hazel's
request that a private mass be held with her family. Hazel always made an effort to make
sure her family and friends knew they were loved. In honor and memory of Hazel Aucoin, we
ask you do the same for yours. We miss and love you, "Granny", and take comfort knowing
you're reunited with your beloved husband Bert. Leitz-Eagan Funeral Home in charge of

in Allen County, Indiana on March 11, 1922. After the attack of Pearl Harbor in 1941,
Capt. Butts entered the U.S. Merchant Marine Service. He was trained at Sheepshead Bay New

tug boat. Continuing to advance his licenses at every opportunity, in 1957 Capt. Butts was
elected into the Crescent River Port Pilots. Harold remained a river pilot for 32 years
until he retired in 1989. In 1979, Harold Butts met Patsy Artigues, of Gretna, and after a
couple of years they were married and settled in Gretna. After his retirement, Harold
loved to travel and work in his woodworking shop. He was an active member in community

mother and sister, and later made numerous trips to Europe, as well as visits to Canada,
Israel, and many sites in the United States. For most of her adult life she was active in
the Colonial Dames, the DAR and the Kappa Kappa Gamma alumnae. In Columbus, she served in
the Newcomers group, and later, in the Chattahoochee Valley Episcopal Ministry. She was

000354	FAULK Clarence E. Faulk, Jr., 1950, taken upon the occasion of him being elected
President of the Louisiana Press Association The Ruston Community and the wider spheres of
journalism, radio, real estate, self storage warehousing and philanthropy lost a friend
with the death of Clarence Eugene Faulk, Jr. Mr. Faulk passed away at his residence on
Friday, March 5, 2010. Services will be held for Mr. Faulk at Trinity United Methodist
Church on Wednesday, March 10, 2010 at 11:00 A.M. with Rev. Jerry Hilbun officiating under
the direction of Kilpatrick Funeral Home in Ruston, LA. Visitation will be held on
Tuesday, March 9, 2010 from 5:00 - 7:00 P.M. at Kilpatrick Funeral Home Chapel, Ruston,
LA. "Mr. Clarence" as he was affectionately called in later life, was born January 9, 1909
in West Monroe, Louisiana. He wass preceded in death by his parents, Mr. Clarence Eugene
Faulk, Sr. and Mrs. Josephine McClendon Faulk of West Monroe. Mr. C.E. Faulk, Sr. was a
founder, President (1934-1945), and Chairman of the Board of Delta Air Lines from 1948
until his death in 1951. Mrs. Josephine Faulk died in 1962. His sister, Eleanor Faulk Cone
of Falls Church, VA, was a graduate of Cornell and Tulane Law schools and died in 1993.
His brother, Robert McClendon Faulk of Vero Beach, FL, was a Fighter Pilot in WWII and a
career commercial pilot for Delta Air Lines and died in 1988. "Mr. Clarence's" much loved
wife, Louise Page Faulk, originally from Topeka, KS, died in 2003. Mr. Faulk is survived
by two sons, Clarence Eugene "Gene" Faulk III of Canandaigua, NY, and Dr. W. Page Faulk of
St. Simons Island, GA, and a daughter, Amelia Faulk Rauser of Rockville, MD. In addition,
Mr. Faulk leaves ten grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. His grandchildren are:
by Gene, Alec Faulk of Ruston, who manages Westside Self Storage, Andrew Faulk of
Worcester, MA, and Jolly Faulk of Framingham, MA, who has two daughters, Jessica and Jane;
by Page, Robin Faulk of Studio City, CA, Josie Faulk Comerford of Chicago, IL, Saskia
Faulk Antonakis of Pully/ Lausanne, Switzerland, who has two daughters, Athena and
Artemis, and Holly Faulk Chevalier of St. Felix de Lodez, France, who has a daughter,
Leopoldine; and, by Amelia, Christy Rauser Johnson of Alexandria, VA, who has two
daughters, Carolyn and Leigha; Katy Rauser Barnum of Annapolis, MD, and Henry Rauser of
San Diego, CA. "Mr. Clarence" will be missed by his many friends and family and by his
longtime caregiver, Mr. Johnifer Evans of Ruston, who is like family. Mr. Faulk's
remarkable life could be organized into four main interests: newspapers and attendant
publishing, radio broadcasting, commercial and residential real estate and one of the
first mini-warehouse businesses in Ruston, Westside Storage, which he built at the age of
seventy. Mr. Faulk served for many years as the president of the Louisiana Press
Association and the Louisiana Broadcasters Association. He was well suited for these
positions because he owned the Ruston Daily Leader and radio station KRUS for decades.
These endeavors were familiar to him, for he had grown up in a publishing family where his
father was publisher of the Monroe News Star before selling the newspaper and going into
the airline business. After two years at the University of the South in Sewanee, TN, he
transferred to the School of Journalism at the University of Missouri where he met Miss
Louise Page, who also was studying journalism. They were married in 1931 and had 72 years
of happy life together. That same year Mr. Faulk became the publisher of the Ruston Daily
Leader, a position he maintained for thirty-one years until 1962. In addition, overlapping
this period, in 1947 he brought Ruston its first radio station, KRUS, and managed it for
21 years (i.e., 1947-1968). Those who knew him best in business and in his personal life
recognize that his love for Ruston and his place in the community were major driving
forces of his life. Together with Mrs. Faulk, he owned numerous rent houses, a sixteen-
unit apartment complex and several commercial buildings in Ruston. In 1988, he was awarded
the highest honor a Ruston resident could receive when he accepted the Russ Award from the
Ruston-Lincoln Parish Chamber of Commerce for his tireless efforts on behalf of the Ruston
Community. Of great importance to him were his memberships in Trinity Methodist Church,
where he served many functions, including teaching Sunday school for 12 years; and the
Ruston Kiwanis Club, where he was a member for 70 years and served as a president. Other
entities to which he was devoted include the Ruston-Lincoln Parish Centennial, the Peach
Festival, the Lincoln Parish Housing Authority, which he chaired for twenty-nine years,
and the Lincoln Parish Library. Also, in good times and in bad, he was a faithful
supporter and contributor to the Department of Journalism at Louisiana Tech University,
where he founded the Clarence and Louise Faulk Chair of Journalism. Mr. Faulk's one
hundredth birthday in January 2009 was the occasion of a festive party at his home in
Westwood Hills in Ruston. He accepted many honors that day with grace and humor, while
also acknowledging the role of his late wife in each award. He expressed particular pride
in the honorary doctorate degrees that Louisiana Tech University awarded him and Mrs.
Faulk in 1985. During his one hundredth birthday party a framed Certificate of Honor was
presented to Mr. Faulk by President Dan Reneau of Louisiana Tech University for his
contributions to the University; a proclamation designating January 9 as "Clarence Faulk
Day" was presented to Mr. Faulk by Ruston Mayor Dan Hollingsworth; an Expression of
Commendation along with a Letter of Special Recognition from Louisiana Governor Jindal
were presented to Mr. Faulk by Representative Hollis Downs, a member of the Louisiana
House of Representatives. Also, United States Congressman Rodney Alexander presented Mr.
Faulk with a Letter of Congratulations and a United States Flag that had flown over the
Capital in Washington. "Mr. Clarence" was a well recognized source of oral history about
Ruston and North Louisiana, and he greatly enjoyed telling stories that were filled with
historical gems. In fact, he became known as an expert on the 1934 ambush of Bonnie and
Clyde, since as a young newspaper reporter he covered the story on the scene. He had many
stories about this area during WW II. Classified 4-F due to serious eye problems,
nevertheless, he served as a First Lieutenant in the Home Guard. He also was a member of
the War Price and Rationing Board, and was chairman of the Lincoln Parish effort for the
United States Savings Bonds Program. He was a detailed source of information about Camp
Ruston, a Prisoner of War Camp located just west of Ruston that held thousands of German
and Italian prisoners during WW II. "Mr. Clarence" loved to travel with his wife and was
full of stories about their adventures throughout nearly all the world. However, the thing
that he perhaps enjoyed as much as anything was to escape to a hunting lodge in Tensas
Swamp with a few friends, just being in the woods, swapping stories around a camp fire and
communing with nature. He was a wonderful man and a real repository of our past and "Old
Ruston." He will be deeply missed. Online condolences may be sent to the family at

000429	GILLEN Bennett "Benny" Martin Gillen Benny Gillen died Monday, March 8, 2010 at the
age of 68 after a brave but brief battle with brain cancer. The son of a newspaper editor,
Benny was born in New Orleans, LA. Named for his great uncle Martin F. Gillen, Vice-
President of the Lipton Tea Company, Benny began his life enjoying the sights, sounds and
experiences offered along Magazine St. and the French Quarter. Later, after moving to
Baton Rouge where his father worked to create the Louisiana Motor Transport Association,
Benny soon developed a close circle of childhood friends that remained to this day, Darryl
Wheat, Dickie Fletcher, Manuel Garza, Buddy Denny and Harry Wilson. Perhaps rambunctious
and mischievous as a youth, Benny developed into a quiet, compassionate and truly caring
adult. As an employee with Southern Beverage for over 20 years, Benny was described as a
hard worker, trustworthy and dependable. Among his friends, Benny was often viewed as a
historian as he had a remarkable memory and could recite the names of musicians and songs
of the Classical, Jazz and Blues music that he so greatly enjoyed. Although estranged from
them, Benny had an unwavering love for his three daughters, Belinda Azar, Karen Smith and
particularly Kim Bryant who thoughtfully remained in contact with her father to the end.
He would often be heard proudly boasting of their various accomplishments. Benny was
preceded in death by his parents, Maj. Thomas T. Gillen, Sr. and Elizabeth "Betty" Bennett
Gillen and his older half-brother, Thomas T. Gillen, Jr. He is survived by his children
and their families as well as his nephew, Michael S. Gillen, who provided housing, care
and support to Benny during his final months. Sincere appreciation goes out to Steven
Warren and Irene Efferson for being there in Benny's time of need and to his physicians,
surgeons, nurses and Hospice of Baton Rouge for making his transition as comfortable as
possible. At the request of his children, there will be no service. In memory of Benny,
donations may be made to his favorite radio station, WBRH Radio FM 90.3, to continue their
broadcast of Jazz music. Times Picayune 3/10/2010

imposed on him with grace and nobility and his perseverance inspired all who knew him. We
are at a loss without him. Mike was born to Roy and Patricia Harvard on November 5, 1956
in Houston, TX. He was raised in Freeport, TX and attended Brazosport High School. He
received his bachelor's degree in Marketing from the University of Texas at Austin and his
MBA from Loyola University in New Orleans. After graduation he accepted a position with

transferred to Houston, TX. While residing in Houston, Mike along with his partner Jim
Mathews created the Envalco Corporation. The company grew and Mike and Jim were recognized
by the 1996 Houston 100 as one of the fastest growing businesses in Houston. In 1997 he
was recognized as a finalist at Houston's Entrepreneur of the Year Awards Banquet. Soon
after another partner, Doug Zimmerman was brought into the company to assist in developing
the actuator business. After several years the company was sold to Mcjunkin Corporation
where he continued to work in the industry. In his leisure, Mike enjoyed coaching his
children, Allison, James, and Emily in baseball, softball, and basketball in Klein. He was
an avid golfer and tennis player, rain or shine. He loved music and played many hours of
guitar along with his brother Tim whom he loved and admired. He also enjoyed and
appreciated the photo scrapbooks his talented sister, Julie put together for him. Mike is

James Harvard, and daughter Emily Harvard all of whom he loved and cherished, his brother
Timothy Harvard, sister Julie Harvard Felder, nephews; Cory max Harvard, Andrew Harvard,

his home since 1991. He was involved in a fatal accident in the early morning of March 2nd
on the way to the Terrebonne General Medical Center where he worked as the Director of
Pediatric Specialty Center for West Jefferson Medical Center. Dr. Vik leaves behind scores
of friends, hundreds of patients and family members who were touched by his effluent
nature, attention to detail, quick wit, and phenomenal humor. Dr. Vik not only treated the
physical ailments of his patients but was vested in their overall well being. All of Dr.
Khoshoo's accomplishments are too numerous to name. As a pediatric GI specialist, he was
an international expert on RSV and lung injury. He was a leading author on chronic cough
and its relationship to reflux. He had over 100 published articles in North America and
Internationally. He was on over ten editorial boards. Dr. Khoshoo was listed in "Best
Doctors in US" and "Best Doctors in New Orleans." He has received multiple awards
including the National Merit Scholar (top 100 students nationwide). In 1982, he graduated
from the University, King Georges Medical College, first in his class. Other notable
achievements include the best paper award at the American College of Chest National
Meeting in Montreal, Canada, 2005 and also the distinguished paper award at the NASPGHAN,
2006. In addition to being an MD, he earned a PhD in medical research and even found time
to complete his MBA from Tulane in 2009. He was also invited to over 100 grand rounds and
lectures at medical conferences, hospitals and Universities around the world as the
keynote speaker. Dr. Khoshoo was paramount in the Pediatric Sub-Specialty Clinic at West
Jefferson Medical Center in New Orleans and would frequently see patients from around the
state and regional referrals. He was a mentor to students, residents and fellows. He often
treated patients who could not afford medical care. He helped establish a medical care
fund in his father's name. Dr. Vik was actively involved in helping with volunteer efforts
post Katrina and was an active member of the House of Blues. His infectious love of life
was reflected as an amateur wine enthusiast and a low handicap golfer. He leaves behind
his wife Dr. Monica Dhar and son Jay Khoshoo and a very large extended family, friends and
patients who will miss him immensely. This man was definitely a silent hero. Dr. Khoshoo
was a true loss to the medical profession and a devastating loss to the city of New
Orleans. Relatives, friends of the family, colleagues and all those who loved Dr. Vik are

in combat both in Norway and in France. After WWII he returned to civilian duty with the
Department of Navy as Master of USNS Card. He delivered numerous shipments of helicopters
to Vietnam where in 1964 his vessel was sunk in Saigon harbor. His old friend Bill Colby
was CIA station chief in Saigon. Captain Langeland is survived by his nephew, Robert

she proudly spoiled. Pat was a loving, caring wife and an exceptional mother to her three
sons. Pat was born in Newark, New Jersey on March 27, 1942 and grew up in Belmar. Her
younger brother, Arthur still resides in New Jersey. Pat met Victor at NAD Earle, while
both were employed on the Navy base and they were married April 10, 1964. Pat dutifully
endured the life of a "navy wife" and was adept at creating a new home each time the
family was transferred. She was a talented cook and took pride in her talent in decorating
her home. Pat will be missed by her sisters and brothers-in-law, and her nieces and

who was lucky enough to have known her; she was kind, loyal, and had a highly developed
sense of humor. She was the first to laugh at herself and the first person to help others
in need. Pat was generous in life, and as an organ donor, was just as generous in passing.

Ladies". She enjoyed many special memories with her newfound sisters she met after moving

of Ann Holden (husband August Leopold), and sister of Kim Bremermann. Jane leaves behind
her beloved partner in life, Colan Preston. Jane attended St. Martin's Episcopal School

be best remembered for her boutique shops in both New Orleans and Hawaii, where she
expressed her unique flair and artistic talents. The family suggests that contributions be

001107	WAKEFIELD William Elnot Wakefield III I praise you because I am fearfully and
wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden
from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of
the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained from me were written in
your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
Although very unexpected by all those touched by Bill's life on earth, Bill Wakefield was
welcomed home on March 17, 2010, into the arms of his heavenly Father. Born October 23,
1957, Bill Wakefield grew up in New Orleans, LA, graduating from Carrollton Presbyterian
School. He earned a B.S. at Tulane University, where he played baseball, followed by a
masters degree at LSU. After serving as a probation officer in both Baton Rouge and
Dallas, TX, he earned a 2nd masters degree at East Texas State University in counseling.
Bill worked at the Minirth Meier Clinic in Dallas and then moved to Baton Rouge, serving
as a private practice counselor for the past 20 years. Bill was a dedicated and giving
husband and father, ever serving his family; his unique sense of humor and love of
athletics defined him in many ways. His love for Jesus Christ fueled his passion for
ministry to others. He selflessly touched many lives through Front Line Ministries, his
church involvements and his counseling relationships. Bill will be missed greatly by his
wife and two daughters, Joyce DeWit Wakefield, Sara Elizabeth and Margaret Joy; his uncle
and aunt, Charles and Theresa Lynch and a number of aunts, uncles and cousins. He was
preceded in death by his parents, William E. Wakefield, Jr. and Mary C. Goedde Wakefield.
Visitation will be at Rabenhorst Funeral Home, 825 Government Street, Baton Rouge, Sunday,
March 21, 2010 from 5 pm until 7 pm. Visiting continues at Istrouma Baptist Church, 10500

001110	WALSH Patrick Dennis Walsh, Ph.D. May 13, 1955 - February 28, 2010. A longtime
resident of Slidell, La, Pat passed away unexpectedly at his home. Pat was born and raised
in New Orleans, one of five children born to the late Edward and Zoe Rita Walsh and was
the beloved husband of Tere Mares for 32 years. He was a loving father to his children,
Christen Roberts, her husband Jeff and the late Matthew Patrick Walsh. He was also a very
loving grandfather to Carolina Joy Roberts and his granddog Yaeger. Pat will forever be
remembered by his brothers Michael, Timothy and Charles, his loving sister Patricia Walsh,
as well as his numerous nieces, nephews and cousins, along with countless other friends
and family whom were blessed to know him. Pat graduated from Loyola University New Orleans
with a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice in 1978 and a Master's degree in Criminal
Justice in 2002. In 2006, he also earned his Doctorate in the Administration of Justice
from the University of Southern Mississippi. He was an assistant professor at Loyola
University New Orleans in the Department of Criminal Justice and was recently awarded the
position of Associate Chair for the department. He was a forensic criminologist having
over 25 years experience in the private security and loss prevention sectors, specializing
in internal theft, robberies and the thought process of robbery offenders. He was also a
state-licensed private investigator, a graduate of the Reid Interview and Interrogation
School and a former licensed polygraph examiner. Pat was a member of the Academy of
Criminal Justice Science, the American Society of Criminology, the European Society of
Criminology, the Homicide Research Working Group and the International Association of
Investigative Psychology. He was a published author of over 20 articles in journals,
textbooks and encyclopedias relative to his professional career. Pat loved to entertain
family and friends with his many stories and crazy antics. He was full of endless
knowledge and was forever putting others' needs ahead of his own. He inspired so many by
his enthusiastic teaching style; his willingness to go the extra mile for anyone with a
desire to learn or to better themselves. He was deeply passionate about law enforcement,
ethics, history, football and his number one role, that of "family man." For many years,
he coached his children's baseball, softball and soccer teams; volunteered at school
events; and could always be relied upon to "make it happen." Pat touched the lives of many
people with his kindness and generosity, and maintained his trademark sense of humor all
the way to the end. A mass will be celebrated on Friday, March 5, 2010, at St. Margaret
Mary Church, 1050 Robert Blvd, Slidell, LA 70458, at 12 p.m, with visitation beginning at
