Over the years her desire was to pass on a handmade quilt for each of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Every year at Christmas she delighted in hosting a holiday gathering for the St. Mary Magdalen carolers in her home. She was a wonderful and genuinely kind person whose life was devoted to selfless acts to all. Her passing is a loss to everyone she knew. She will be terribly missed by all.

The second son of Henry Ealy and Irma Williams joined his brother at Bush Elementary School in 1947 and St. Monica's Grade School in 1948. But it was his grandparents, Nina and Charles Collins, who provided him with the direction that led to his graduation from Xavier Prep High School in 1962 as a member of the Scholastic Coach's 12th Annual All-American High School Track and Field Team. He was clocked at 9.5 in the 100-yard dash at the Dillard University-Esso track and field meet during the Spring of 1962. Douglas earned a scholarship to Southern University where he and George "log" Anderson led Southern to many victories in the Sprints and Relays over the next two years. His next adventure was with the United States Army's Third Armor Division in West Germany during the mid 1960's as a Tank Commander. Initially he sought to make the Army a career, but the unresolved conflict in Vietnam forced him to leave after five years. Subsequently, he returned to the United States with his loving wife Myra and their son Douglas, Jr. The young couple moved to Los Angeles around 1967 where Douglas found employment with United Parcel Service. Myra and Douglas were blessed with three more children, Corey, Bridgette and Keith. Douglas even took some classes at Los Angeles City College during the early 1970's as he searched for his place in the Golden State. He would later find employment at Cal Tech. By the mid-1980's Douglas had started and new family with Vera and they were blessed with a set of twins Christopher and Kristin. He also entered into a life long relationship with the Blackhawks Motor Cycle Club of Pasadena. He considered himself a Bar-Q-Ologist and on many occasions dazzled us with his Ribs, Chicken and Seafood off the grill. His other hobbies ranged from fishing to helping "His" Lakers with NBA Titles. Many of us were touched by his kindness, humanity and compassion. Others were entertained by his jokes and sense of humor. Nevertheless, we were all the beneficiaries of his legacy. July 19, 2010 Douglas was received into the bosom of our ancestors. He is survived by his brother Henry, and his children: Douglas, Jr., Corey, Bridgette, Keith, Christopher and Kristin. He is also survived by 20 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren, many family members, friends and those who loved him so much-his extended family.

Lambert Joseph Gonzales, Jr., ("Bobby") passed away peacefully Sunday, 27 June 2010, at his residence in Metairie, LA in the presence of his family. He is survived by his beloved wife of 66 years, Gloria Schaff; a son, Lambert Joseph Gonzales III; a daughter, Janice Gonzales and her husband, Francis Julian Barry, Jr.; grandchildren: Maria Bertha Anna Barry and Francis Julian Barry III, and his fiancée Meghann Fitzpatrick; and a sister, Lorraine Braun Gonzales, as well as nieces, nephews, and cousins of the Gonzales and Schaff families. He was preceded in death by his parents Henrietta Morgan Bird and Lambert Joseph Gonzales, Sr., and by his sister Helen Gonzales (Mrs. Joseph A. Gemelli, Jr.). Mr. Gonzales was born 20 November 1919 in New Orleans and was educated at St. Rose de Lima School on Bayou Road, St. Aloysius High School (Class of 1936), and Soulé Business College. During his career in the United States Coast Guard, he completed courses at the Franklin Technical Institute in Boston, Massachusetts, and the USCG Training Station at Groton, Connecticut. In 1956-57, he returned to the Training Station to teach his branch specialty. His Coast Guard career spanned 26 years, from his enlistment in the opening months of World War II to his retirement as a Master Chief Petty Officer in September 1968. In addition to service in Louisiana, he was stationed in Aransas Pass, Texas; Juneau and Ketchikan, Alaska; Groton, Connecticut; and at Coast Guard Headquarters in Washington, D.C. He was part of the Coast Guard unit that first established and maintained telephone communications down to the mouth of the Mississippi River and throughout remote areas of the Gulf Coast during World War II. In 1965, he was part of the detachment at the Industrial Canal that was cited by the Commandant for their mission to rescue citizens flooded in the Ninth Ward by Hurricane Betsy. His last assignment was in the Electronics Engineering Department of the Eighth Coast Guard District in New Orleans. Following his retirement from the Coast Guard and until 1981, he was on the staff of Tulane University in the Housing Department and at Tulane Law School. Mr. Gonzales was passionate about opera and was also a fiercely competitive athlete from his teenage years. His memberships in the NOAC and in the City Park Tennis Club dated from the 1930's. As a student and as an NOAC member, he won contests in swimming, boxing, and wrestling. He also played basketball and was the mascot of the NOAC's AAU championship baseball team of 1933. He continued to compete at the City Park Tennis Club whenever his career in the Coast Guard permitted. In 1956, he won the Class B singles championship of the annual CAA tournament. The newspaper report of his victory described him as a "rabid tennis enthusiast." The same news item noted music as his other great interest. A lifelong lover of opera, Mr. Gonzales ushered for opera productions during his high school years and heard many of the great stars of his day, including Grace Moore and Nino Martini who came to New Orleans in 1939 with the Metropolitan Opera touring company. In Alaska, he was a faithful listener to the Texaco Metropolitan Opera broadcasts; and during his tour of duty in Connecticut, he made frequent trips to New York City to attend Met performances. Upon his return to New Orleans in 1960 and for many years thereafter, he held season tickets for the New Orleans Opera Association performances. His last attendance at a live performance was the production of Carmen in March 2009, when the Opera Association returned to the Theatre for the Performing Arts. His appreciation of opera continued to the very day after his stroke (17 June 2010) when he was still able to express his recognition of the aria "Nessun Dorma."

Lambert Joseph Gonzales, Jr., ("Bobby") passed away peacefully Sunday, 27 June 2010, at his residence in Metairie, LA in the presence of his family. He is survived by his beloved wife of 66 years, Gloria Schaff; a son, Lambert Joseph Gonzales III; a daughter, Janice Gonzales and her husband, Francis Julian Barry, Jr.; grandchildren: Maria Bertha Anna Barry and Francis Julian Barry III, and his fiancée Meghann Fitzpatrick; and a sister, Lorraine Braun Gonzales, as well as nieces, nephews, and cousins of the Gonzales and Schaff families. He was preceded in death by his parents Henrietta Morgan Bird and Lambert Joseph Gonzales, Sr., and by his sister Helen Gonzales (Mrs. Joseph A. Gemelli, Jr.). Mr. Gonzales was born 20 November 1919 in New Orleans and was educated at St. Rose de Lima School on Bayou Road, St. Aloysius High School (Class of 1936), and Soulé Business College. During his career in the United States Coast Guard, he completed courses at the Franklin Technical Institute in Boston, Massachusetts, and the USCG Training Station at Groton, Connecticut. In 1956-57, he returned to the Training Station to teach his branch specialty. His Coast Guard career spanned 28 years, from his enlistment in the opening months of World War II to his retirement as a Master Chief Petty Officer in September 1968. In addition to service in Louisiana, he was stationed in Aransas Pass, Texas; Juneau and Ketchikan, Alaska; Groton, Connecticut; and at Coast Guard Headquarters in Washington, D.C. He was part of the Coast Guard unit that first established and maintained telephone communications down to the mouth of the Mississippi River and throughout remote areas of the Gulf Coast during World War II. In 1965, he was part of the detachment at the Industrial Canal that was cited by the Commandant for their mission to rescue citizens flooded in the Ninth Ward by Hurricane Betsy. His last assignment was in the Electronics Engineering Department of the Eighth Coast Guard District in New Orleans. Following his retirement from the Coast Guard and until 1981, he was on the staff of Tulane University in the Housing Department and at Tulane Law School. Mr. Gonzales was passionate about opera and was also a fiercely competitive athlete from his teenage years. His memberships in the NOAC and in the City Park Tennis Club dated from the 1930's. As a student and as an NOAC member, he won contests in swimming, boxing, and wrestling. He also played basketball and was the mascot of the NOAC's AAU championship baseball team of 1933. He continued to compete at the City Park Tennis Club whenever his career in the Coast Guard permitted. In 1956, he won the Class B singles championship of the annual CAA tournament. The newspaper report of his victory described him as a "rabid tennis enthusiast." The same news item noted music as his other great interest. A lifelong lover of opera, Mr. Gonzales ushered for opera productions during his high school years and heard many of the great stars of his day, including Grace Moore and Nino Martini who came to New Orleans in 1939 with the Metropolitan Opera touring company. In Alaska, he was a faithful listener to the Texaco Metropolitan Opera broadcasts; and during his tour of duty in Connecticut, he made frequent trips to New York City to attend Met performances. Upon his return to New Orleans in 1960 and for many years thereafter, he held season tickets for the New Orleans Opera Association performances. His last attendance at a live performance was the production of Carmen in March 2009, when the Opera Association returned to the Theatre for the Performing Arts. His appreciation of opera continued to the very day after his stroke (17 June 2010) when he was still able to express his recognition of the aria "Nessun Dorma." Mr. Gonzales was a sixth generation New Orleanian and a descendant of St. Domingue refugees. His family are especially grateful to his niece by marriage Edna DeLucca (Mrs. David Klein), R.N., for her extraordinary generosity of assistance and expertise in his last illness, and to her husband David and children Audrey and Gatlin for bearing with the many impositions that were made upon their time. His illness was made easier to bear by the tenderness and compassion of Denise Brock and her loving caregivers Sandi, Betty, and Lorena, who quickly became members of the family and have continued to assist us in our time of great need.

Harter and died at his residence, Ville St. Marie, Jefferson, La., July 16, 2010, just fifteen days shy of his 92nd birthday. When I asked him what was the best time of his life on Father's Day of this year he said "now". Not many people at the age of almost 92 could or would be able to say that. He graduated from high school as a member of the New York State Honor League (top 10 % in the state) while having skipped two grades. He graduated from Penn State College in 1939 in Petroleum Engineering. He attended The Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania where he received his MBA in 1941. He served in the Army as a Captain from December, 1941 till March, 1944. He met Constance Viola Osborne while she attended Beaver College in Philadelphia, Pa. in 1941. At that time he was jokingly referred to as "The Debutante's Delight". They married in 1942 in Camp Shelby, Ms. Eventually they were transferred to New Orleans by Chevron Oil Co. where he lived the rest of his life. While there he and his wife, Connie with several families started Woodland Presbyterian Church at Big Tree Camp on the River Road in Algiers. His professional life was quite broad and always concerned with the oil industry. He actually would have preferred to be a lawyer but his Father insisted on Petroleum Engineering, as they had discovered oil on their property in upstate New York. Daddy was the Division Superintendent of the Delta Region for Chevron Oil and Standard of California till 1968. He then was the V.P. of the Eastern Hemisphere Operations for The Offshore Co. till 1970, from 1968-1971 the V.P. of Production for the Merlin, Everett, Jake Co., and the V.P. of Louisiana Land and Exploration, LOOP, until 1974. Then he opened his own companies in oil service related industries. He retired in 1992. He is survived by his 3 loving children, Colonel Earl William Harter, Jr. (RET) (the late Bettina Lee Barnes), Alexandria, Virginia; Cynthia Harter DeBlanc, Mandeville, La.; and Becky (Anthony Bultman), Folsom, La.; his 4 loving grandchildren, William (Lindy); Andrew (Alana); Peterson; and Marigny Jian and his 4, almost 5 great-grandchildren (Ryan, Donovan, Zoe and Cailyn). He is also survived by his sister, Elizabeth Stinson and her son Craig Heberle (Gay), Houston, Texas. He had the good fortune to live in the same Residence as his dearest friend, Olga Vicknair. He was an avid sailor, golfer, voracious reader, world traveler, jokester and card shark. As the bon vivant that he was, he instituted regular card games, monthly cocktail parties and 4 pm coffee hour with his Big Band music at Ville St. Marie. He was a member of Delta Sigma Phi and was a 32d Degree Mason. Services will be held Saturday, July 31, 2010, his 92nd birthday, at Ville St. Marie, 4112 Jefferson Hwy., Jefferson, La., at 5 pm. It will be a birthday celebration as well as a tribute to his joie de vivre. Thank you to the loving residents and caring staff of Ville St. Marie. Please join us.

From her conversion onward, Gerry was a devout member of St. Jules Catholic Church and served as a Catechism teacher, as well as donated her cooking expertise for many church meals. Gerry was an avid reader. Her readings included Reader's Digest Condensed novels, any suspense novels (particularly Mary Higgins Clark), daily newspapers, and magazines. Her most favorite daily reading was the Bible, along with the Christian daily devotional "The Upper Room". Always one to share, Mother bought subscriptions for family and friends so that they too could be encouraged. A consummate homemaker - Gerry was an accomplished seamstress who sewed numerous outfits for herself, and her daugter, Diane, Diane's friends, and for her grandchildren. She was an excellent cook, and her signature dishes are too numerous to list---just look to her family for evidence of their appreciation of her cooking. Gerry traveled thoughout the United States with her children and their families. She also delighted in watching soap operas, especially "The Young and the Restless" and old movies. Gerry took comfort in praying the rosary often and in sharing her scripture-based wisdom and compassion with family, friends, co-workers, and all she encountered. She was preceded in death by her maternal grandmother, Mariah Myler; her parents: Jonas and Fannie Myler Jones; her eldest child, Richard Harris; and the father's of her children: Richard Harris and Salvador Dimicelli.

He was the son of the late Milton and Nellie Kirsch. Glenn is survived by his wife of 46 years, Rose Johnson Kirsch, and three children, Terri Kirsch Whitcomb, Debra Kirsch Burkhalter, and Stephen Conway Kirsch, four grandchildren, Olivia Whitcomb, Emily Burkhalter, Chloe Whitcomb, and Peyton Burkhalter, and sister, Janell Kirsch Jones. Glenn's transition was preceded by his late siblings, Ted Kirsch, and Sandra K. Seiler. Glenn's social life was proudly devoted to his extended family of in-laws, nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles, all to which he served indiscriminately as confidant, adviser, and comrade. Glenn received a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from LSU (in New Orleans) in 1964. He worked as an Internal Revenue Service agent during the following 32 years, until he retired to his home in Metairie to work independently as a financial planner and income tax consultant for 13 years. In tribute to his marriage, he named his business GAR Income Tax (for Glenn And Rose). Always enthusiastic to help others, Glenn donated his spare time to perform volunteer tax services for several local Senior Citizen centers. Glenn found particular joy and satisfaction from sports. He championed and presided over the New Orleans Commercial Tennis League in the early 1980s and throughout most of the decade. He was also a dedicated fan and booster of the LSU athletic department, and, as the popularity of internet communications has grown in recent decades, Glenn became known as "TigerGlenn". Glenn was truly and always a loving husband, devoted father, and a loyal and treasured friend to many. With his authentic, sincere kindness and wisdom, Glenn touched the lives of more people than he and his family even realized. By the example he left us and the outpouring of love and appreciation since his passing, we are assured Glenn Kirsch left the world a better place. The Kirsch family would like to extend sincere thanks to Dr. A. Oliver Sartor and his secretary, Bev, for their tireless and devoted efforts to comfort Glenn and his family during his battle with prostate cancer. In lieu of flowers, Glenn requested donations be made to Tulane Cancer Center- Sartor-Research; Depts. of Medicine and Urology, Tulane Medical School, 1430 Tulane Ave., SL-78, N.O., LA 70112.

She was 68. With her when she died were her beloved daughters Laura Elizabeth McGee and Sharon Tyler McGee, both of Hendersonville; her son, John McGee of Plano, Texas; and her sister, Millie Ball Marshall, of New Orleans. Betty was born Elizabeth Tyler Ball on Valentine's Day, 1942, in Atlanta, when her father, who worked for 42 years for Southern Bell, briefly was based there. Her mother, Mildred Porteous Ball, owned a gift shop, The Red Gate, in their Uptown New Orleans home. Betty graduated from Louise McGehee School in New Orleans, attended Newcomb College and graduated with honors from Vanderbilt University, where she was a member of Chi Omega. She was queen of Athenians Carnival ball. Right after graduation in 1963, Betty married Capt. James W. McCarter Jr., USMC, at St. Charles Avenue Presbyterian Church, where both families were longtime members. They had two children, Sean William and Michael Tyler McCarter, by the time Jimmy was deployed to Vietnam; he was killed in action in 1967, and posthumously awarded the Silver Star for heroism. Betty remarried, and had a daughter, Jean Elizabeth McGee. Her second husband, an officer in the Air Force, was sent to Thailand in 1971. A few weeks later, a fire at their home in Metairie killed Sean, Michael, Jean Elizabeth and her stepson Kevin McGee. While her husband later was stationed in Texas, they had two more daughters, Laura and Sharon. Betty got involved in Republican politics and went back to school to earn a paralegal certificate. After she and her husband divorced, she moved with her daughters to Winston-Salem, NC, where she was a member of Law Review and, at age 47, graduated third in her class at Wake Forest University's School of Law. She was a lawyer at Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice in Winston-Salem. She loved the mountains, visiting often at her mother's vacation home in Lake Toxaway, NC, and after retirement, Betty lived there for several years. She enjoyed sitting on the screen porch overlooking the lake and reading mysteries. She and her daughters were intrigued by politics and attended several Republican National Conventions. But the joys of her life were Laura, Sharon and John. When she was diagnosed with COPD, she was told she had two years to live. Sharon, a social worker, moved home to care for her. Betty lived 5 .5 more years, and Laura, a political campaign manager, was there between campaigns to help with her care. Devout in her faith, Betty inspired others with her strength. Other survivors include her grandchildren, Nikki and Taylor McGee, of Allen, Texas, and two first cousins, Byrd Ball of Atlanta and Anne Vickery of New Orleans. Among devoted friends were Bay Chamberlin of New Orleans and Flat Rock, NC; Damon Pike of Atlanta; and "The Big Four," lifelong friends who met at New Orleans' Allen Elementary School: Susan Sadler Hayman, Nina Jacobs and Kay Munch Perrin. Betty loved her dogs, who over the years included Missy, Maggie, Bailey and Beau. Betty's cremated remains will be divided between Arlington National Cemetery, where Capt. McCarter and their sons are buried, and Metairie Cemetery, where her parents are interred. A memorial service will be held in the fall in New Orleans. May she rest in peace. Laura and Sharon McGee can be reached at 32 Cyprus Creek Lane, Hendersonville, NC 28791.

Nicole was enjoying the trip of a lifetime in South Africa, attending one of her many passions, soccer, when she was struck by a drunk driver while walking home, on a pedestrian pathway, with two of her siblings. Interment will be in St. John Mausoleum. Reverend O. Joseph Breaux, Pastor of St. Alphonsus Catholic Church in Maurice, LA will be the Celebrant of the Funeral Mass and will conduct the Funeral Services. Nicole is survived by her parents, Dr. and Mrs. Daniel Charles Murphy; three sisters: Danielle Murphy, Kellie Murphy and Lauren Murphy Smith and her husband Jeremy Smith; two brothers: Brian Murphy and Lucas Murphy; her maternal grandparents: Mr. and Mrs. Walter Rebouché of Bunkie, LA; her paternal grandmother, Mary Patricia Murphy of Baton Rouge, LA; a numerous amount of loving aunts, uncles, and cousins; and two energetic dogs, Xander and Jackson. She was preceded in death by her grandfather, Donald Paul Laborde of Bunkie, LA and Charles Joseph Murphy of Lake Charles, LA. Nicole was born in Lafayette, LA on December 22, 1985. She attended Cathedral Carmel School and graduated from St. Thomas More Catholic High School in 2004. As a Saint Thomas More multi sport athlete, she gained recognition as the first female at STM to earn All State in three sports; Cross Country, Track and Soccer. Accepting an academic and soccer scholarship she went on to attend the University of Tampa in Tampa, Florida, where she pursued her dream of playing collegiate soccer. Nicole was a four-year starter for the Tampa Spartans and played a significant part in capturing the Division II NCAA National Championship in 2008. After graduating Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences, she was accepted into LSU Medical School in New Orleans, Louisiana. Once returning to her home state and among several extracurricular activities, she successfully completed two years of medical school and was ecstatic about beginning her 3rd year, involving clinical rotations. Nicole was adventurous; she woke up each morning with the intention of seizing the day. She loved to travel, and did so as frequently as possible. She visited numerous places; the Bahamas, France, Italy, Costa Rico, Japan and finally, South Africa, where she spent her last days here on earth. Nicole was also fond of the beach, and a certified scuba diver. On the contrary, another love was snow skiing. She also enjoyed the rush from skydiving and was working on jumping solo, as opposed to tandem. Nicole remained in impeccable shape, exercising on a regular basis; running, swimming, or biking. She participated in multiple triathlons and on a whim, entered and completed a marathon, with a time that qualified her to run in the Boston Marathon. She proudly served as a member of the United States Army as a Second Lieutenant, Army Medical Corp. In no way can words describe how much she will be missed and, more importantly, never forgotten. Pallbearers will be Jeremy Smith, Michael Rebouché, Scotty Venable, Nicholas Riché, Derek Juneau, Tyler Juneau, Frank Murphy and Chris Murphy.

North, Jr. died on Tuesday, July 6, 2010 at the age of 89. He was born in Gilliam, Louisiana, grew up in Old Hickory, TN and was a resident of Covington and Mandeville, LA for the past 27 years. John graduated from Castle Heights Military Academy in Lebanon, TN and Vanderbilt University where he earned Bachelor's and Master's Degrees. He was a veteran of the Marine Corps and served in the South Pacific during World War II. While in high school at Castle Heights he was recognized as an outstanding natural athlete, lettering in football, basketball and track. He set numerous school records and was inducted into the Castle Heights Hall of Fame. John was offered football scholarships at several universities but chose to attend Vanderbilt, close to home. In his freshman year he played football, basketball and ran track for the university. This was at the height of World War II, and after his freshman year he enlisted in the Marines to serve his country. He was severely wounded on the Island of Tinian and earned the Purple Heart. After his honorable discharge with the rank of Sergeant, he returned to Nashville and began to rehabilitate his wounded legs so that he could play football again. He rejoined the Vanderbilt team and served as captain, played offensive and defensive end and was the place kicker. In spite of limitations due to his war injuries he was chosen for the All American team his senior year. He was drafted by the Washington Redskins and played professional football for the Baltimore Colts for three years. John was a receiver for the Colts and held the record for the longest pass from the line of scrimmage (thrown by Y.A. Tittle) for many years. After his retirement from the Colts, he began his long coaching career, first as a high school coach in Alabama and then for college teams, including Tennessee Tech, the University of Kentucky and Louisiana State University (LSU) on the staff of Charles McClendon in the early 1960's. He left LSU to accept a position with the Detroit Lions where he worked for eight years. He joined the staff of the New Orleans Saints and was appointed head coach early in the 1973 season. His tenure with the Saints spanned two plus turbulent years and included a player's strike and a rained out training camp. In spite of these setbacks, the Saints gained respectability and reached several milestones including the team's first shutout. Coach North will be remembered for his hardnosed approach to football and his sideline antics. After Coach North left the Saints in 1975 he ended his NFL coaching career with seven years as an offensive coach for the Atlanta Falcons. After leaving the Falcons, Coach North returned to the New Orleans area and served one year as quarterback coach for the USFL New Orleans Breakers. After retirement from football, he worked as a licensed Real Estate Agent on the North Shore. He was an active member of St. Timothy Methodist Church, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and remained an active member of the NFL Alumni Association .

JONATHAN PARKS, S.D.B. (1949-2010) Fr. Jonathan D. Parks, S.D.B., pastor of St. Rosalie Catholic Church in Harvey, La., since 2004, died on July 11 at West Jefferson Medical Center in Marrero, La., after a months-long illness. He was 60. Father Parks, the son of Charles and Elaine Weicks Parks, was born in New Orleans on Sept. 26, 1949, and raised in Gretna, La., where the family attended St. Joseph's Church. Father Parks was introduced to the Salesians when he attended Archbishop Shaw High School in Marrero, where he was in the second graduating class (1967). Strongly influenced by the Salesians who taught him, especially Father Paul Avallone, the school's first director and principal, he entered Don Bosco Seminary in Newton, N.J., where he professed his first vows as a Salesian on Aug. 15, 1969. Father Parks earned a Bachelor's degree from Don Bosco College in Newton in 1972 and was assigned as a teacher at Archbishop Shaw High School for two years; he taught U.S. history and religion. In 1974 he enrolled in the Pontifical College Josephinum in Columbus, Ohio, for theological studies. He earned a M.Div. and was ordained to the priesthood on May 19, 1978, in Columbus. After ordination he served young people and the Salesians as a teacher and school administrator in Cedar Lake, Ind. (1978-1979), Ramsey, N.J. (1979-1980 and 1988-1990), Tampa (1983-1988), Don Bosco Tech, Boston (1980-1983), and St. Dominic Savio High School, East Boston (1990-1993, 2001-2004). After earning a doctorate in educational administration/superintendency at Boston College in 1996, he was appointed superintendent of schools for the Salesians' Eastern U.S. Province in 1999 and served until 2004. Father Parks also was vocation director for the Salesians from 1983 to 1984 and 1993 to 1996, and associate pastor of St. Rosalie Church from 1996 to 2001. He was a frequent speaker at the National Catholic Education Association, and member of various boards including the National Religious Vocation Conference, and Cafe Hope in Marrero, La. He was a member of the presbyteral council of the archdiocese of New Orleans and a consultant to the Office of Education of the archdiocese. Former Salesian provincial Father James Heuser said of Father Parks: "The West Bank of New Orleans gave us a gift in Father Jonathan, with his strong sense of family and friendship, and an effusive and joyful Southern style. It blended well with the warm relational approach advocated by Don Bosco. In these last years he returned to the West Bank and was a gift to them, enriching so many who struggled through hard times with his priestly zeal and simple devotional faith. Greatly loved by many, he will be greatly missed." Mary Wenzel, Principal of St. Rosalie School, recalls Fr. Jon once said so eloquently at a funeral mass, "Let us all remember,…. his life has only changed, not ended." He has now obtained the reward of eternal happiness with God, which he lived and preached in his ministry every day. I ask you to please pray for the repose of the soul of Fr. Jon Parks, for his family, and for the St. Rosalie School and Parish communities." Fr. Jon current assignment was as Pastor to the parishioners of St. Rosalie in Harvey LA. Although he cherished the education challenges of his chosen vocation, congregation was his life. Significant were the children, they brought him special joy. He even remarked that when it was his time to depart this earth, that it would be children who would lead him to the gates of heaven. It was Fr. Jon's unique gift of mixing humor and life experiences that endeared him to all who were lucky to enjoy his friendship and fellowship. He was always ready with a clever or witty remark for the occasion or a word of encouragement. (or maybe even a song or two, Sponge Bob Square Pants maybe) Father Parks is survived by his twin brother Joseph Anthony Parks of Pineville, La., his younger brother Kenneth (Iona) of Virginia Beach, Va., and his sister Christine (Raymond) Fleming of Gretna; nephews Conor Parks and Kevin (Amy) Marmillion and niece Janet Lambert; and grandnephew Kenneth Lambert Jr. Public wake services for Fr Jon will be held from 8:00 AM -11:00 AM at the Alario Center, 2000 Segnette Boulevard, Westwego, LA 70094 on Wednesday, July 14, 2010.

(1979-1980 and 1988-1990), Tampa (1983-1988), Don Bosco Tech, Boston (1980-1983), and St. Dominic Savio High School, East Boston (1990-1993, 2001-2004). After earning a doctorate in educational administration/superintendency at Boston College in 1996, he was appointed superintendent of schools for the Salesians' Eastern U.S. Province in 1999 and served until 2004. Father Parks also was vocation director for the Salesians from 1983 to 1984 and 1993 to 1996, and associate pastor of St. Rosalie Church from 1996 to 2001. He was a frequent speaker at the National Catholic Education Association, and member of various boards including the National Religious Vocation Conference, and Cafe Hope in Marrero, La. He was a member of the presbyteral council of the archdiocese of New Orleans and a consultant to the Office of Education of the archdiocese. Former Salesian provincial Father James Heuser said of Father Parks: "The West Bank of New Orleans gave us a gift in Father Jonathan, with his strong sense of family and friendship, and an effusive and joyful Southern style. It blended well with the warm relational approach advocated by Don Bosco. In these last years he returned to the West Bank and was a gift to them, enriching so many who struggled through hard times with his priestly zeal and simple devotional faith. Greatly loved by many, he will be greatly missed." Mary Wenzel, Principal of St. Rosalie School, recalls Fr. Jon once said so eloquently at a funeral mass, "Let us all remember,…. his life has only changed, not ended." He has now obtained the reward of eternal happiness with God, which he lived and preached in his ministry every day. I ask you to please pray for the repose of the soul of Fr. Jon Parks, for his family, and for the St. Rosalie School and Parish communities." Fr. Jon current assignment was as Pastor to the parishioners of St. Rosalie in Harvey LA. Although he cherished the education challenges of his chosen vocation, congregation was his life. Significant were the children, they brought him special joy. He even remarked that when it was his time to depart this earth, that it would be children who would lead him to the gates of heaven. It was Fr. Jon's unique gift of mixing humor and life experiences that endeared him to all who were lucky to enjoy his friendship and fellowship. He was always ready with a clever or witty remark for the occasion or a word of encouragement. (or maybe even a song or two, Sponge Bob Square Pants maybe) Father Parks is survived by his twin brother Joseph Anthony Parks of Pineville, La., his younger brother Kenneth (Iona) of Virginia Beach, Va., and his sister Christine (Raymond) Fleming of Gretna; nephews Conor Parks and Kevin (Amy) Marmillion and niece Janet Lambert; and grandnephew Kenneth Lambert Jr. Public wake services for Fr Jon will be held from 8:00 AM -11:00 AM at the Alario Center, 2000 Segnette Boulevard, Westwego, LA 70094 on Wednesday, July 14, 2010.

Usner, Sr. passed away on July 16, 2010 at the age of 80. Mr. Usner, a life-long resident of New Orleans, was the son of the late Daniel A. Usner and Aline Scheibe Usner. He was preceded in death by his brother, Richard Usner, and his sister, Nadine Wibel. Born and raised in the Irish Channel neighborhood of New Orleans and educated at Our Lady of Good Counsel and Jesuit High School, Mr. Usner became a highly regarded small businessman in this city. For 40 years he was the owner-proprietor of Dan Usner's Auto Service at 6201 South Claiborne Ave. Before that, he had operated a service station and repair shop in the Touro Hospital area. Hard work, honesty, and generosity were Mr. Usner's guiding principles, as he worked tirelessly to meet the needs of his customers, to secure a livelihood for his employees, and to provide comfort and opportunity to his beloved family. Many a resident of the Broadmoor neighborhood and beyond can recall special efforts made by Mr. Usner to keep their cars running smoothly or to fix a difficult problem. Employees can testify to the kindness and trust that he steadfastly showed them. Local schools, universities, churches, and community groups could always count on his generous contributions to their fundraising activities. When Mr. Usner could find time away from the demands of his business, he enjoyed camping, boating, and fishing. During the 1970s, he organized and led the Louisiana Service Station Association in a courageous struggle for state legislation needed to protect dealers against unfair practices of the major oil companies. He also served briefly on special advisory groups for the U.S. Department of Energy. Mounting health problems and adverse market conditions never deterred Mr. Usner from keeping his auto service open, but in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina he lost everything to the flood and was unable to reopen his business. Mr. Usner is survived by his wife of 58 years, Joyce Durel Usner; a daughter, Aline Usner Celestin of New Orleans, and two sons, Warren (Joan) Usner of Pearl River, LA, and Daniel (Rhonda) Usner, Jr. of Nashville, TN; six grandchildren, Tony Usner, Jacob Usner, Justin Celestin, Jordan Usner, Katie Usner Rabalais, and Molly Usner; and one great grandchild, Haiden Rabalais.

Immigrating from the village of Duba, Croatia to New Orleans in 1929, he was an oyster bedder in the bayous of Louisiana for over sixty years. Life was difficult as he faced the hardships of extreme weather conditions, hurricanes, mosquitoes, and separation from loved ones. Although the work was often back breaking, Milenko, along with his fellow countrymen, always exhibited an unrelenting perseverance and determination to achieve a better life-The American Dream. Milenko's ever-present radiant smile spoke volumes, but was a glimmer of what lied within. Indeed, he was the essence of humility. The gifts he bestowed upon those who knew him were the immeasurable treasures of his heart: his love of life and family, strong work ethic, perseverance, generosity, compassion, faith, and appreciation for life's simple things.
