In her younger years, she volunteered to assist the Marianite Sisters of Holy Cross by driving the nuns (before they had their own transportation) for appointments and outings. She also served as secretary to Sister Madeleine Sophie Hebert, M.S.C. at St. Mary of the Angels. When Sadie moved from Mazant Street to Paris Avenue, she enjoyed entertaining family and friends by serving her delicious French-cooked meals and playing Pollyanna and the card game, "In between". She also enjoyed playing canasta with two different groups of lady friends. Later, she was caregiver to her husband, Johnny. She continued to enjoy her home on Paris Avenue until Hurricane Katrina destroyed it. Post Katrina, she lived with her oldest son, Bobby, and "daughter," Margaret. She had an exceptional "special angel", Theresa George, who took great care of her from Katrina until her passing. During that time, she especially enjoyed her companion, Spade-man (her loving dog) keeping her company by talking to him and petting him on the sofa while watching TV. Sadie fell this past May, and even though her health was declining, she was progressing amazingly with physical therapy. The services of Christian Home Health were appreciated by Sadie and her family until the end. Sadie was a very caring, gentle, and generous person and made a difference in the lives of all who she knew.

Sadie had a full life. She was the dedicated wife of the late John Peter Bavido; loving mother of Robert John Bavido and wife, Margaret Lara Bavido, John Peter Bavido, Jr. and wife, Mary DeLuca Bavido, and Ronald David Bavido; grandmother of Gay Ann Bavido and partner, Missie Barcia and son, Tony Barcia, Robert John Bavido, Jr. and wife, Theresa Dybas Bavido, and Sandra Bavido Wegmann and husband, Paul Robert Wegmann; great-grandmother of Brittany, Karlie, and Alexa Bavido; and also survived by many loving nieces and nephews. In her younger years, she volunteered to assist the Marianite Sisters of Holy Cross by driving the nuns (before they had their own transportation) for appointments and outings. She also served as secretary to Sister Madeleine Sophie Hebert, M. S. C. at St. Mary of the Angels. When Sadie moved from Mazant Street to Paris Avenue, she enjoyed entertaining family & friends by serving her delicious French-cooked meals and playing Pollyanna and the card game, "In between". She also enjoyed playing canasta with two different groups of lady friends. Later, she was caregiver to her husband, Johnny. She continued to enjoy her home on Paris Avenue until Hurricane Katrina destroyed it. Post Katrina, she lived with her oldest son, Bobby, and "daughter," Margaret. She had an exceptional "special angel", Theresa George, who took great care of her from Katrina until her passing. During that time, she especially enjoyed her companion, Spade-man (her loving dog) keeping her company by talking to him & petting him on the sofa while watching TV. Sadie fell this past May, and even though her health was declining, she was progressing amazingly with physical therapy. The services of Christian Home Health were appreciated by Sadie & her family until the end. Sadie was a very caring, gentle, and generous person and made a difference in the lives of all who she knew. God will surely recognize her many loving contributions as He welcomes her home to Heaven to join Him and all her dearly departed family members. Sadie was preceded in death by her parents, Clifton and Ella Laborde Bonnette, and her sisters, Ollie Lewis and Rena Youman.

She was born in Chicago, Illinois on November 20, 1920, to Sophie and John Michonski, hard-working Polish immigrants. Lottie married the love of her life, Joseph John Daugird, Sr., a decorated war hero who served with General Patton, and together they raised a family of four children in Chicago. Once all her children were in school, Lottie entered the workforce, received her notarial commission and landed a job at Hoyne Savings Bank, where she was promoted to Assistant Vice President of the mortgage department. After approximately 40 years of full-time service, Lottie retired, due to medical reasons, at the age of 82. She would have continued to work at Hoyne her entire life, had she been physically able to do so. When she turned 65, she announced, "you retire to enjoy yourself and I'm already doing that". She loved her job and she loved her co-workers as though they were family. After retiring, she moved south to live with family in Metairie, Louisiana. Up until right before her passing, she would spend her days doing crossword puzzles, reading murder mysteries and watching detective dramas. A simpler existence for someone who was once so active, but she was happy. "You bloom where you are planted", she would often say. Lottie was preceded in death by her parents, Sophie and John Michonski; husband, Joseph John Daugird, Sr.; children, Joseph John Daugird, Jr. and Deborah Daugird Knickles; and, siblings, George Michonski, Helen Weinschenk, Walter Michonski, Bernice Gernaey, Benjamin Michonski and Leroy Michonski.

Lottie was known for her kind-hearted, gracious and generous spirit, as well as for her keen mind. Her loving nature touched the lives of many, both people and animals. She left this world knowing that she was loved and would be deeply missed. She was right. We will always respect and cherish our memories of her.

Admitted to Tulane University at the age of fifteen, as a junior David joined the Marines shortly after Pearl Harbor, proudly serving as adjutant to Gen. Roy Geiger. Before and after the war, David was a champion golfer, winning local tournaments and played in both the US Amateur Championship and the U.S. Open. David started his business career selling boxes for his beloved father's company, Great Southern Box Company. He started Fine Woods Company, selling plywood across the South. He sold this business to start the New Orleans Professional Football Company with some of the city's finest business leaders, including Edward Poitevant, Robert Monstead, Hugh Evans (president of D.H. Holmes) and many others. This organization promoted several NFL exhibition games locally. Their efforts helped land an NFL franchise, but it was House Minority Whip Hale Boggs who successfully obtained the New Orleans Saints franchise from NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle, in return for approval of the merger of the NFL and AFL. By the time of the first kickoff for the Saints in 1967, David had left the organization to head the effort to create the Louisiana Superdome. After obtaining the key support of Governor John McKeithen, David left to launch the first major professional tennis tour, World Championship Tennis, with his partner, Lamar Hunt.

He was extremely proud of his work in raising money for local causes, including Loyola University; he chaired the Archdiocesan Capital Campaign, setting a record amount. He received numerous local awards, including the Times-Picayune Loving Cup; the Weiss Award; the Hornblower Award; was inducted into the Saints Hall of Fame, the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame, and the Superdome Wall of Fame. He appreciated the love and support of so many New Orleanians throughout his career, and adored the New Orleans Saints and their thrilling march to the NFL Championship this past year.

Times Picayune 8/4/2010 **************************************** 000368 GUSTE Monsignor Robert Ignatius Guste, dearly beloved and renowned Roman Catholic evangelist, entered into eternal life on Tuesday, August 3, just after 3 PM. A native son of New Orleans, Louisiana, Monsignor Guste participated in the establishment of the Catholic Charismatic Movement, leading countless missions, retreats and pilgrimages at home, across the U.S., and abroad. In the late 1980's, he established the Living Waters Ministry, offering inspiration, Spirit-filled guidance, comfort and love over the radio with a daily installment. His love for the Lord exuded from a naturally joy-filled disposition, a manly sense of humor and a cheerful love of praise in music. Monsignor Guste was born in New Orleans on October 14, 1926. He attended Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School, then began studies for the priesthood at St. Joseph's Seminary. Ordained a Priest on June 3, 1950, his early administrative assignments included: Federation Chaplain of the Family Life Movement, Director of the Apostleship of Prayer, Assistant Pastor at St. Raphael's Parish, St. Cecilia's Parish, and St. Maurice Parish. He was then appointed Pastor of St. Anthony's Parish in Luling, LA (1964-1973), subsequently serving as Pastor of St. Francis de Sales, a lively inner-city parish from 1973-1982. Father Guste also served as the Regional Director of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine. Father Guste has been actively engaged in numerous movements for spiritual renewal, including The Cursillo Movement, the Third Order of Mount Carmel, and the Jesus Caritas Fraternity of Priests. Community involvement included work on behalf of interracial justice and correction reform chairing the Criminal Justice Commission of the Louisiana Interchurch Conference. He also devoted much attention to the cause of Respect for Life, participating with zeal in Priests for Life. Early in his career as a Catholic priest, Fr. Guste authored the booklet For Men of Good Will, promoting equality and justice for all. Later, he penned Mary at my Side, sharing with sensitivity the role of the Blessed Mother in his life. In his theological study, The Gift of the Church, Monsignor Guste affirms the need for, the love of, and the meaning of the Catholic Church, and addresses common objections and questions about the Church today. Monsignor Guste is preceded in death by his father, William J. Guste, and his mother, Marie Louise Alciatore Guste. He is survived by his brothers and their wives: William J. Guste, Jr. and Dorothy Schutten Guste, Roy Francis Guste and Beverly Taylor Guste, and Father Jules Guste, founder of the Society of our Mother of Peace. Survivors also include 29 loving nieces and nephews. With deep devotion and affection, he lovingly baptized, married, and cherished every member of his numerous clan. Along with noteworthy accomplishments, "Uncle Bobby" will be lovingly remembered for his powerful booming voice filled with the love of the Holy Spirit, and for his praise in music with his ever- handy trumpet.

Dr. La Grange was born on June 1, 1934 in Belle Rose, Louisiana to Dozilien (Pete) and Lucy La Grange. He graduated from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, in 1956. After college he spent two years in Wiesbaden, Germany to fulfill his Army ROTC obligation. His experiences in Europe were some of the greatest of his life. During this time he developed an interest in European culture, history, architecture, and cuisine. In addition, a physician friend, with whom he served, inspired him to pursue a career in medicine. In 1964 Clint graduated from the LSU School of Medicine, which included an externship at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. During that time he sublet his apartment in the French quarter to Erin Margaret Flanagan. When he returned to reclaim his apartment, he was unable to convince Erin and her roommate to vacate. After some persuasion and cheap labor to facilitate the actual move, he was successful in both getting his apartment back and a date with Erin. They were married in October, 1964. Upon completion of his Otolaryngology residency at Louisiana State University in 1969, he and Erin moved their family to Ventura County, CA where he practiced medicine for 34 years. He served as the Chair of the Department of Surgery at St. John's Regional Medical Center in 1985 and 1986. Clint was an "old-school physician" with a sense of humor who spent time with his patients-regardless of their ability to pay. He was highly regarded by his medical peers. While his medical practice and surgery schedule kept Dr. La Grange busy, he found time for hobbies, including skiing, gardening, cooking, painting, travel, and opera. He and Erin were happiest cheering on the LSU Tigers together. He loved the outdoors and spending time with his family in Mammoth Lakes and Yosemite. In his later years he very much enjoyed being a doting grandfather to his seven grandchildren. He is survived by his wife of 45 years, Erin, and five children: Michele Wiebelhaus (husband Tim) and their children Gwyneth and Ian; Clinton La Grange Jr., M.D. (wife Jennifer) and their children Danielle and Renee; Liesl Noble (husband Jon) and their children Jack, Erin, and Joe; Erik La Grange; Edward La Grange; and his sister, May Giambrone. He was preceded in death by his brothers: Louis and Edward La Grange. He will be remembered for being a great husband, father, physician, and person. He will be missed by everyone who was bless-ed to have known him. Services will be held on Wednesday, August 18, 2010 at 11:00 a.m. at the St. Mary Magdalen Chapel, 2532 East Ventura Blvd., Camarillo, California.

Times Picayune 8/29/2010 **************************************** 000540 LEONARD Someone once wrote that the measure of a man is the company he keeps. But it is the company that kept Edward (Eddie) Louis Leonard, Jr., which defined him. With an unassuming natural gift at drawing others to him, "What a good man" would become the phrase of admiration uttered by those who knew him throughout his lifetime. Born February 13, 1941, in New Orleans, Eddie had a happy and carefree childhood under the live oaks and loblolly pines of Covington with his brother, Lawrence (Larry) Kirk Leonard, and among lifelong friends formed at St. Peter's and St. Paul's Christian Brothers' Schools. He was also blessed to have a large extended family on both his mother's (Revere) and father's (Leonard) sides giving him a family tree that stretched from Covington to Lee Road to Folsom to Ramsey in St. Tammany Parish. A child of the World War II years, Eddie witnessed the V-J celebration on the street in front of his Aunt Margie's restaurant, Revere's Café. The family-run restaurant, adjacent to the St. Tammany Parish Courthouse, was a Covington fixture where his aunt, mother and two uncles worked alongside each other for many, many years; he considered the Café a home away from home. But it was at St. Paul's College where Eddie really came into his own. He was a curious student and outstanding athlete lettering in football, basketball and track & field. Before graduating in 1959, the fair-haired student-athlete was awarded the Jimmy Dunn Award Winner for outstanding all- around athletic performance at St. Paul's. Nearly a half-century later in 2006, when the St. Paul's Athletic Association named him to its Hall of Fame, he accepted the award the way he'd practiced athletics his entire life, with grace, humility and little fanfare. Long before this recent honor, Eddie met his future wife, Cora (Toni) Mae LeBlanc, at a sno-ball stand outside Johnny Lee Cleaners. This modest introduction paved the way for a marriage and lifelong relationship that provided a home base for eight children and twenty-three grandchildren as the years passed. The Air Force provided employment for Eddie in the early years of parenthood; leaving the service, he matriculated at Southeastern Louisiana University where he earned a Bachelor's degree and began the career he'd stay with until his retirement in 2001, Louisiana Air National Guard in Hammond. "Chief" Leonard took great pride in his years with the 236th, especially the last decade of the 20th century as he returned to the distance running of his youth and competed in races with other family members. His last nine years were spent tinkering around his childhood home ("25th"), entertaining and being entertained by grandchildren and reconnecting with high school friends (the "Grey Wolves") and colleagues over breakfast and pleasing conversation. A lifelong member of the Roman Catholic Church, this faith would bring him great comfort and solace as he lived the final weeks of his life surrounded in temporal love before going home to rejoice in Christ with his mother, Ella Mae Revere Leonard, and father, Edward Louis Leonard, on August 6, 2010. Eddie is survived by his brother, Larry; his wife and best friend, Toni LeBlanc Leonard; eight children by marriage: Susan Murari Short (Stephen), Edward Louis Leonard, III (Cindy), Scott Anthony Leonard (Jennifer), Joel Louis Leonard (Lauren), Stephen Kirk Leonard (Sherry), Leslie Elizabeth Thompson (David Gassen), Matthew LeBlanc Leonard (Bonnie Smith) and Jacqueline Clark. In lieu of flowers, Eddie hoped donations might be made to St. Paul's Alumni Association. Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend Mass of Christian Burial on Tuesday, August 10, 2010 at 2:00 PM at St. Joseph Abbey, 75376 River Road, St. Benedict, LA.
