Brown, Jr. January 20, 1928 - June 21, 2010 Ollie Brown, son of Ollie D. Brown and Versia Sapp Brown of Waller Texas, attended the University of Texas at Austin, where he earned his Bachelor's and Law degrees. It was there he met and married his wife of 60 years, Margaret Campbell. At UT, Ollie was a student waiter at the Scottish Rite Dorm. The friendships he made during those years endured throughout his life. Each September, Ollie and Margaret hosted a "Dark Horse" reunion. Ollie was proud to be in this exclusive club of men. A Life Member of the UT Ex-Students' Association, Ollie was an avid supporter all things UT. Hook em Horns! Ollie served two years active duty in the Judge Advocate General's Corps in Salzburg, Austria, followed by 25 years in the Army Reserve, and retired with the rank of Lt. Colonel. He was honored to command the fine men of the 2nd JAG Detachment. Still proud, still serving, still saluting. Ollie's career in the oil and gas business spanned 40 years. As a Landman and Attorney, he worked for Hawkins & Hawkins and Freeport McMoRan. Along the way, Ollie guided the remaking of a Hawkins subsidiary in Joplin Missouri into Doane Products, one of the world's largest private-label manufacturers of dried feed. Ollie and Margaret raised their five children in New Orleans, LA, where he was active in business and community affairs. He served as President of the Petroleum Club, as Treasurer and Board Member of Isidore Newman School, and was a member of the "LBC" who lunched at Galatoire's Table 22 every Friday. In retirement, Ollie and Margaret moved to Kerrville, Texas. Ollie took up golf with the enthusiasm reserved for new converts, and it brought him equal parts of joy and grief, even the last week of his life. Always civically active, Ollie served as a Board Member of the Museum of Western Art, as President of Riverhill Country Club and Homeowners Association, and as a Kerrville City Council Member. An enthusiastic history buff, Ollie found cherished friends among old adversaries who faced each other on June 6, 1944. Though too young to be there himself, he celebrated those who fought in that desperate struggle. When friend, Stephen Ambrose, had a dream to honor these men, he asked Ollie to join him. Together they worked tirelessly to found and fund the National WWII Museum in New Orleans. One of Ollie's greatest gifts was his capacity to make and maintain friendships. Though there are too many to name, you know who you are. The "Last Man Standing" torch has officially been passed. He is survived by his wife, Margaret Campbell Brown; five children: Steven Brown, Katharine Neary, Caroline Compton, Worley Brown and Warren Brown, their respective spouses and ten grandchildren. Services will be held at First United Methodist Church of Kerrville, TX on Monday, June 28, 2010 at 10:00 AM. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made "In memory of Ollie Brown" to either: the National WWII Museum, 945 Magazine Street, New Orleans, LA 70130 or the Museum of Western Art, P.O.

He was the oldest of three, having a younger brother, Gerard Glendinning Harris, and a younger sister, Lorell Irene Harris Barber. He graduated from high school coinciding with the United States entering World War II. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy and served from April 1943 to March 1946 as a radar man on the USS Rocky Mount. He was a plank owner, the designation given to the members of the original crew of a ship. After being honorably discharged from the Navy, he met a WAVE, Elizabeth Towar Harris, who he married September 7, 1946. He attended the University of Rochester and graduated in 1952 with a Masters in Geology. Soon after graduation, Ellwood, Betty, Sheila, and Claudia, traveled to Shreveport, Louisiana, where Ellwood took a job with Shell Oil Company as an exploration geologist. Ellwood and Betty had four children: Sheila, Claudia, Ellwood (Woody), and Matthew. Ellwood relished his years in New Orleans. He enjoyed his work at Shell and embraced the New Orleans life. He was there long enough to attend the first Saints game in 1965 (a loss) followed by many seasons of many Saints losses, but he did lived long enough to see the Saints become Superbowl Champions XLIV. Ellwood married Susan Martin Harris June 2, 1984, in Slidell, Louisiana. They traveled extensively, particularly following Ell-wood's retirement in 1986. They traveled around the country, visiting all states with the exception of Alaska. Ellwood's and Susan's favorite place to visit was East Tennessee, the Smoky Mountains region. After being forced to evacuate New Orleans a number of times through the years, Katrina proved to be the "final straw." Ellwood, Susan, and Bettye (Susan's mother) relocated to Maryville, Tennessee, in December 2005. Overall Ellwood enjoyed good health until 2009. Then he developed several medical issues that took their toll physically, but he always worked hard at recovery. His spirit and will to live were strong, his body unfortunately not so, and he passed away on the morning of March 23, 2010. I think he would say that he enjoyed his life, that he lived a good life, and that he valued above all his relationships - with loved one and friends. He tended to be underestimated - I think others would say Ellwood was tender hearted, gentle, fun loving, positive, certainly a character, and a man worthy of respect. On March 25, 2010, a small family Memorial service was conducted at Colonial Hills Nursing Center so that Ellwood's mother-in-law (Momzie) could attend. A Celebration of Life Gathering was held on June 6, 2010, at Smithview Pavilion in Maryville, TN, with many family members and friends in attendance. Ellwood's ashes will be scattered in the mountains of East Tennessee. Memorial donations may be made to: Friends of the Smokies, PO Box 1660, Kodak, TN 37764-7660.

You laughed out loud; you floated with grace as you walked, you ran nimbly for paddle balls and tennis balls, you were graceful and ethereal on the dance floor, you were my first dancing partner, you knitted my first hat and my first sweater, you held my hand when I rode my first wave, you turned heads wherever you went. You were blessed with a rare and great physical beauty and you were further blessed with the depth of my father's love for you, Ted Hirsch, your husband. I thank you for giving me life and for helping me better define the woman I would become. May God welcome you and keep you in peace on this last journey.

He was an avid sportsman, but most enjoyed simply spending time in the Louisiana marshes and on the Florida beaches. Survivors include his wife of 35 years, Marvita Needham Hudson; his daughter, Megan Hudson; his father, William M. "Dub" Hudson, Jr.; one sister, Tamara Meador and her husband Gerald; one niece, Brandi Segura; and one nephew, Patrick Meador and his wife Kirsi and their daughter, Saige.

Daughter of the late Theodule Decareaux and Carmen Bienvenu Decareaux, Mrs. LeBlanc spent her early years, as the Times-Picayune put it, "amphibious[ly]," developing a swimming career that would lead to several AAU records in 100-meter and 220-meter backstroke, making her the leading amateur swimmer in the South. At the same time she was clocking miles in the pool, Mrs. LeBlanc racked up another 8,000 miles on foot, walking 4 miles to and from school each day, never missing a single one in eleven years. After graduating from Lutcher High School, she attended LSU on a swimming scholarship, and was on her way to a championship college career before deciding to experience life in "the city" and move to New Orleans to live and work. There she met Ashton J. LeBlanc, whom she married in 1947. Mrs. LeBlanc was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother and friend who throughout her life inspired others with the quiet determination, perseverance, patience, strength, and generosity of spirit with which she lived. She was a dedicated homemaker and a devout Catholic. A parishioner of St. Andrew the Apostle Parish for 45 years, she was active in church and school activities while her children attended St. Andrew School. An avid Saints fan who had attended games through thick and thin since the inception of the team, Mrs. LeBlanc finally got a little preview of heaven this year when she was able to cheer the Saints to victory in the Super Bowl. In addition to her parents, Mrs. LeBlanc was preceded in death by her husband Ashton; her daughter Patricia LeBlanc Trahan; her son Ashton J. ("Manny") LeBlanc; her sisters, Florence Decareaux Bossier, Roberta Decareaux Clement, and Dot Sons. She is survived by three daughters, Sue LeBlanc Ferrer, Janet LeBlanc Domino, and Beth LeBlanc, as well as her brother Cesir Decareaux. She leaves behind to cherish her memory eight grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren, and one great-great grandchild. Also mourning her loss are sons-in-law Jorge Ferrer and Mike Domino, daughter-in-law Ann Hastings LeBlanc, close family friend Susan Krantz, and former son-in-law Beal Trahan, Jr. We especially wish to express our heartfelt gratitude to Mama's extended family at the Azaleas, who loved and helped care for her, as well as to Mrs. Delores Trimble, who was a blessing to us in Mama's final days. A funeral Mass will be held at Jacob Schoen & Sons on Canal St. on Wednesday, June 23. Visitation will be from 8:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., when the Mass will take place.

Mullen's Animal Medical Clinic was an Uptown institution for over 40 years, until he retired in 2005. While attending a sock hop at the nearby All Saints School, an all girls boarding school in Vicksburg, Mississippi, Harold met the school's beauty, Miss All Saints, Ruth Gonzalez. He courted her all the way back to her native Cuba. They were married in post revolutionary Havana in 1959 in a ceremony officiated by Ruth's father the late Rt. Rev. Romualdo Gonzalez and attended by many wide eyed friends and relatives from Mississippi and Alabama. Harold loved to spend time with family and friends, often entertaining them with his guitar playing and singing. His charm and wit, laced with a treasure trove of country lore, could bring a smile to anyone's face. Before Katrina, he enjoyed fishing from his infamous craft, the "Boo Boo", and spending time at their home in Bay St. Louis. He was a fiercely loyal husband, father and friend. A truly selfless person willing to help any person or animal in need, regardless of the circumstances or ability to pay a vet bill. Harold is survived by his daughter Ruthie, grandson, Jack "Tripp" Forrest, III, as well as a son, Mark, his wife, Jamie, and their children Amelia and Will. Also survived by his brother-in-law Romualdo "Romi" Gonzalez, Jr. and his nephews Romualdo "Romi" Gonzalez, III and Pablo Gonzalez. Relatives and friends are invited to attend the Funeral Service at LAKE LAWN METAIRIE FUNERAL HOME, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd. (in Metairie Cemetery), on Tuesday, June 15, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. Visitation will begin at 11:00 a.m. Interment will immediately follow at Metairie Cemetery.

He passed away peacefully at his home in Baton Rouge, Louisiana at 9:00 pm, May 24th, 2010. At age 22, Paul graduated from the University of Newcastle with Honors as an Electrical Engineer and was immediately offered a position with the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company. After five years, Iran nationalized the company and dismissed all foreign employees including Paul. Due to his value to the company, he was given a retainer of 6 months full salary. However, boredom made him decide to immigrate to Canada to see what opportunities awaited him there. Before leaving England to go to Canada, he became engaged to Margaret Brown (Margo), whom he married three months later. In Canada he secured a good job with a large Engineering firm. His good fortune continued. Their only child, Lynn Christine now Dr. Lynn Murphy, was born on their first wedding anniversary. After living in Toronto for two and a half years, Paul's company asked him if he would consider going to west Pakistan as Chief Engineer to help build the Warsak Dam. They accepted and loved living there. The people and their social life are all fondly remembered. Their contract expired after three years and they were ready to return to Canada. Whilst living in Peshawar, American friends convinced them that America, especially California, was the place to live. So upon returning to Canada, an American visa was applied for, which promptly arrived a few months later. Renting their home and driving a flashy new Buick, they left Canada and drove route 66 all the way to Malibu, California. They finally had arrived in sunny California at Christmas 1957. After 3 days, Paul sought out the largest Electrical contracting firm, Fischbach and Moore, where he was happily accepted. It being Christmas: he was paid a whole week's salary and given a turkey on a silver tray after working but four days...America: what a wonderful country. They bought a brand new home in San Fernando Valley in a beautiful citrus grove. Paul set to work helping to build a new Los Angeles airport. He loved his work and the challenges. Later, after completing a list of successful jobs, Paul was promoted to Vice President but only if he would go to New Orleans, LA and open a new office to explore opportunities for new job expansion. He accepted the challenge and eventually Paul became President of the whole southern division, responsible for all offices from Florida to California. He was an extremely talented, brilliant, and creative engineer. Throughout his life Paul was an avid student of history. He was also an excellent photographer. Paul retired at 62, after retirement he received the Margery Stitch Loving Cup award for his volunteer work to the city of New Orleans. Hurricane Katrina forced their move to Baton Rouge. Leaving behind their many friends and beloved Metairie Country Club, of which Paul had been a member for forty years. All of their friends were sorely missed. He is survived by his ever-loving wife Margo, his daughter Dr. Lynn Murphy, her husband Dr. Christopher McEwen, and his only grandchild Andrew Paul McEwen. In memory of Paul, it is requested that donations be given to the Amedisys Hospice of Baton Rouge, LA. (amedisys.com (225) 767-6823 - 990 Stanford Ave, Baton Rouge, LA ).

Tom was born in Philadelphia, April 13, 1947. He attended Williamsport High School and, upon graduation, went to Williamsport Technical Institute where he studied drafting. His spirit beckoned him to drift south rather than pursue a traditional career. A hippie, a beatnik, a biker, a painter, left, right, and sideways, Tom tried it all. Always complete with the perfect hat, he was not afraid to live life to its absolute fullest. New Orleans was a perfect fit for such a rich character, and here he discovered a love for leather work and shoe making. It was this calling that brought him to meet his mentor, friend and adopted father, Calvin L "Shoe" Dayes. It is safe to say that Tom was a master of many...., and in his own sweet time. Tom prided himself a curmudgeon and cantankerous cuss. But we knew him as a curmudgeon and compassionate human being. He would argue his compassion, but he was apt to argue just about anything. It was part of his charm. A hard worker and talented artist. A philosopher at times, and always a loyal companion. He will be sorely missed. A truly great friend, Tom Strain. Tom was preceded in death by his mother, Helen Youngman Carlson, a step-father, Alton Carlson, and his brother Jim Strain. He is survived by his sister, Laura Winters, who he loved dearly, and her children, Aimee Winters-Andrade, and Frank Winters, and many good and honored friends.

Wallace Tutt, III Family and Friends are saddened to report the untimely passing of J. Wallace Tutt, III, on June 12, 2010, on Harbour Island, Bahamas. Born in Meridian, Mississippi on March 28, 1957, raised in Nanafalia, Alabama, Wallace is survived by his partner, Don Purdy, his parents, Frances and Dave Barr; his brothers, Walter and Webb; his nephews David, Robert, William and Wallace IV, his niece Camilla; and dogs Cameron and Mousey; as well as a large family of devoted friends. Wallace Tutt, III, the arbiter of good taste and style throughout America and the Caribbean, J. Wallace Tutt III is well known for his discerning eye and attention to detail. Throughout his storied career, Tutt has worked in many arenas (from a lawyer to a real estate developer) and has always excelled in every endeavor. Tutt is famous for his historical renovations and building projects. Wallace Tutt's foray into hospitality these last seven years (as the proprietor of the Rock House hotel in Harbour Island in the Bahamas) seems to be a natural fit for his genial entrepreneur. The Alabama native made his mark in South Florida with his Tutt Construction Company. Tutt has provided contracting services for numerous high-profile clients including, the late Gianni Versace, Cher, Thomas Kramer, Princess Johanna Von Wittgenstein, Charlotte Weber, Sheldon Lowe, Jost Hellmann and Barry Schwartz. His projects have spanned Alabama, California, Delaware, Florida, New York, North Carolina, Washington D.C. and the Bahamas. Tutt also has an eponymous interior design firm. Tutt's love affair with the Bahamas began in the 1990's. In 1995, he purchased and developed Caribe Cay, a beautiful, tiny island gem right off North Eleuthera. In 2002, Tutt and his partner, Don Purdy, opened the Rock House, a ten-room boutique hotel in Harbour Island. Immediately, the Rock House became one of the most sought-after hotels in the Bahamas. The hotel's restaurant is regarded as one of the best dining establishments in the region. However, Tutt's impact on Harbour Island goes beyond his hospitality. He is a major part of the community and contributes greatly to island life. He became a permanent residence of the Bahamas in 2005. Memorial services were held in Miami on Saturday, June 19, 4-6 PM, Fontainebleau Hotel. Memorial services will be held in Alabama - Tuesday, June 22, 2 P.M., Nanafalia Baptist Church; and Harbour Island -TBD.

In bonding through love and laughter, her life was full and meaningful. Cookie tried to complete her plan on earth to the best of her ability through prayer and charity. Missing her is an understatement, her love of Jesus, the USA, her red white and blue, Louisiana, and of course the Saints.
