Successful Business Man Leaves His Mark on Hancock County. With a joy for life and a love of people, Luke J. Caruso left his mark on his family, friends and community. Mr. Caruso, born November 16, 1931 in New Orleans, Louisiana, passed away on Thanksgiving Day, a favorite family holiday he annually enjoyed with his wife, children and grandchildren. A successful businessman for more than 45 years, he and his wife Julie Ann traveled throughout the south managing a chain of Stuckey stores in Alabama and Mississippi. When Highway 90 was first established in Hancock County, their business led the way, servicing tourists and tour buses from throughout the country. Their store became Hancock County's first welcome center complete with pralines, hot coffee and a friendly staff. Recently, they reinvented what was once the Waveland store into a center for area businesses now known as Caruso Plaza. A 1951 graduate of St. Stanislaus (SSC), Luke spent most of his life in Bay St. Louis, the youngest of Pascal and Margaret Caruso's two sons. While at SSC he was active in athletics and played on the basketball and football teams. When he entered college at the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) he played on the varsity football team that beat Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Auburn, a feat he often liked to recall with family and friends. Before he graduated from USM, Luke left for a two year tour of duty in the U.S. Army, stationed in California, serving in the Korean War. He returned to USM and graduated with a B.S. in Geology. He is remembered fondly by many in Hancock County as Coach Caruso. He taught science and was a coach for 10 years with the Bay-Waveland School District at Gulfview, North Bay Elementry and Bay High School. A devoted Catholic and dedicated family man, Luke was active in community work. He is a life long member of Our Lady of the Gulf Catholic Church. He was one of the founding families of Our Lady Academy and was a member of the inaugural school board. He also served as King of two different carnival Krewes: Nereids and Triton. One of his greatest joys was his annual retreat to Manresa with close friends to focus on strengthening his faith. He is preceded in death by his parents, his brother Vincent and his sister in law Johanna. He is survived by his wife of 47 years, Julie Ann Williams Caruso and will be remembered with great admiration by his three children, Nancy Caruso (Sal) Wambsgams M.D., Royce (Lynn) Caruso, and Margaret Caruso White. He was dearly loved by his nine grandchildren (Joseph, John, Jamie, Jarred, Jacob, Stephen, Kyle, Mark, and Bethany) and seven grear-grandchildren (Shawn, Will, Grant, Jordan, Ashtynn, Katelynn, and McKenzie). For the past 40 years he was supported by his spirited caregivers Betty Lee Thomas, Eloise Johnson and Jumy Johnson. The family recommends donations, in lieu of flowers, to the Hancock County Food Pantry. Funeral arrangements are being handled by Edmond Fahey Funeral Home. The funeral will be at Our Lady of the Gulf Catholic Church on Monday, November 29. Visitation will begin at 10:00am until 12noon followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at noon. Interment will be at the Gulf Coast Memorial Cemetery on Highway 90 in Bay St. Louis, MS.

Otway Lear was a man who enjoyed the simple pleasures of life, the company of friends and family. He had a love for cooking and making mayhaw jelly. He was at home in the kitchen always cooking for any and everyone who stopped by. He always carried a harmonica in his back pocket and enjoyed playing it. He was an entertainer of sorts who told his stories over and over again. He had many tricks up his sleeve, his favorite was to tell you how old you were and how much change you had in your pocket by some math equation that always mystified everyone because he was always right. He enjoyed fishing and making crab nets. He so loved passing along his wisdom to his grandson Sam. Life can become so difficult as we get older. The restraints of our aging take a toll on our bodies. Otway Lear spent his last days at Heritage Manor of Mandeville, LA where he enjoyed sitting out on the front porch in a rocker watching the squirrels and playing a tune on his harmonica.

After Spring Hill he began working in the cattle business, and in 1954, started selling automobiles at Standard Motors in Baton Rouge. He quickly went into business on his own selling used cars, and then Ramblers in St. Gabriel. In 1964, he opened a Chrysler-Plymouth dealership in Gonzales. The Toyota dealership which opened in 1969 recently celebrated its 41st anniversary. In the early 1960s, leveraging his cattle-rearing background, the "The Tradin' Country Boy" restored the old Louisiana tradition of lagniappe or something extra by giving his "Country Sausage" to all who gave him a chance to earn their business. In 1980, Price LeBlanc introduced the endearing and all familiar "Dahlin'" salutation and slogan in honor of his beloved mother. He often attributed his success and the attainment of countless awards for customer satisfaction and sales to a simple truism, "treat others as you would like to be treated." Quotes like: "Without our friends we're nothing!" and "Make sure you treat people right when you're going up the ladder, otherwise you just might see them again ... going down," are vintage Price LeBlanc. He lent support to and helped raise funds for many non-profit organizations in the area including: Catholic Charities, Our Lady of the Lake Foundation, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Habitat for Humanity, Epilepsy Foundation of Louisiana, National Federation of the Blind, St. Joseph's Academy, Catholic High School, LSU, LSU 4-H, Spring Hill College and St. Gabriel Catholic Church. The LeBlanc family thanks those who attended to our Dad in his final years. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Catholic Charities, St. Gabriel Catholic Church, or the charity of your choice. He was a loyal son of his community and the congregation of St. Gabriel Church, whose rolls contain generations of his family going back to Acadia and France in the early 1600s. 11/23/2010 ********** 000567 LeBlue Trudy Buffinet LeBlue passed away on Friday, October 29, 2010 at the age of 53.

A native New Orleanian, born on September 15, 1951, to Jabins J. Luquette and the late Edwina Louise Lotz Luquette, she is survived by two sisters, Lynn Joy Luquette and Darcel Luquette Ferina, and many nieces, nephews, and other extended family members. Karen was a playful individual, fun to be around, and a ham for the camera. She enjoyed listening to music, attending concerts, watching soap-operas, and playing cards and board games at family get-togethers. Karen is survived by her three beloved canine "children", Maddie, Susie, and Looter, who will be lovingly cared for by her family members. She was an alumnus of John F. Kennedy High School ('69), and a licensed cosmetologist who graduated from John Jay Beauty College. Some of her favorite perfumes were "Ambush", "Tigress", and "White Shoulders". A Catholic, she was devoted to Our Mother Mary, often saying novenas and the Rosary, and loved to light and burn candles privately in her home. The following quote is a wonderful summation of her personality: "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave, with the intention of arriving in an attractive and well-preserve body, but rather to skid in sideways-iced tea in one hand and chocolate in the other-body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming, "Woo Hoo! What a Ride!" The family will hold a private gathering to honor Karen's life in lieu of a burial service. She was-and is still-very much loved, and will be very sadly missed. Donations to the Humane Society are requested, in lieu of flowers.

She was the fourth of four children. Catherine attended Mrs. Jessie Private School, McDonald #5, and graduated from Walter L. Cohen High School (WALOCO), class of 1957. She continued her education at Xavier University in New Orleans, Louisiana. In 1961, she graduated with a B.A. degree in Elementary Education. She later received a M.A. in General Elementary and her teaching credential at Cal State Long Beach. She also was accredited her Clear Specialist Instruction in Special Education and Clear Administrative Service Credential from Cal State Dominguez Hills. Catherine began her teaching career with the New Orleans School district as a student teacher as part of her major. She accepted a position with the New Orleans School District (NOSD) after she graduated from Xavier. In the two years she spent in the NOSD, she gained more and more knowledge and honed her teaching skills. Catherine then moved to California in 1965 with her young son Raymond to seek a better life and employment opportunity. She wasn't able to work in the teaching profession right away so she began her gainful employment as a domestic worker. Catherine wasn't a person to be kept down; when circumstances changed she was ready and well qualified. She started her California teaching profession with Compton Unified School District and worked at Tibby Elementary School for twenty-two years. Catherine looked for new challenges and a higher salary and accepted a position with the Los Angeles Unified School District in Special Education at Avalon Garden School. She was a devoted teacher for over thirty years before she retired. She was introduced to Charles Newton on Christman Eve 1967 - what a gift for both of them. They married on August 12, 1968 and remained in love with each other. Catherine and Charles, a.k.a. CATCHS, traveled to many countries including Japan, Thailand, Korea, Hong Kong, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Israel, France, Canada, and Mexico. CATCHS celebrated their 42nd wedding anniversary with a cruise to Alaska and Canada, their last trip together. One of Catherine's goals was to be able to enjoy lunch without rushing back from a thirty minute break. She enjoyed dining at fine restaurants with friends and family. Her love of games began with pinball machines and she graduated to the big time with casino slot machines. Baptized into the Catholic faith as a child, her assurance in the Catholic Church and its religious teaching was predominant in her life. She was unwavering in her faith. Through trouble, hardships, sorrow and pain, she knew Jesus and his Mother Mary would be at her side to give her peace and comfort. She leaves a legacy of strong faith, dedication and concern for injustice at all levels. Whenever she noticed a wrong, she tried to make it right. Her philanthropic and giving spirit was lived out of being a "cheerful giver". On November 3, 2010, Catherine Green Newton went home to be with Jesus and Mary. She was preceded in death by her parents and brother Jesse Green Jr. To cherish her precious memory, she leaves her husband Charles Newton, son Raymond Hodges, granddaughter Brittany Hodges, sisters Letha Green Hester and Dorothy Green Menifee, along with many nieces, nephews, cousins, in-laws, other loving family, and dear friends. 11/19/2010 ********** 000699 NICHOLAS Mrs. Rosie Mae Celestine Nicholas on Thursday, November 11, 2010 entered into eternal rest at the age of 79.

He was born in New Orleans on October 21, 1931, the only child of George Albert Pettit, Sr. and Kathryn Johanna Norton Pettit. A graduate of Jesuit High School and Loyola University, he earned his medical degree from LSU School of Medicine, summa cum laude, in 1955. After completing an internship and residency at Barnes Medical Center in St. Louis, MO, he served in the Public Health Department at Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington, D.C. In 1959, he accepted an appointment as Instructor in Medicine at LSU Medical Center. He enjoyed teaching, and held this position for several years. Dr. Pettit began his private practice in internal medicine and cardiology in 1960, and continued to practice in Gretna until his retirement in 1995. In 1952, he married Mae Ruth Miller, and they remained together until her death in 2002. He is survived by their three children: Richard and John Pettit, and Elisabeth Berman; and four grandchildren: Rachel and Camille Pettit, and Stephen and Malcolm Berman. Dr. Pettit was much appreciated and trusted by his patients. He practiced medicine the old-fashioned way, typically spending as much time talking to his patients about their lives, interests, and opinions, as he did treating their medical problems. In his free time, he typically kept to himself, reading history or philosophy, or enjoying his passion for classical music and opera. A family member had this to say about him: He was a true original. When I talk about the fine Southern tradition of amusing eccentrics, he is first on my list. I knew I could always count on him to tell me things that were unusual and fascinating. He was usually holed up in his office, of course. But then he would emerge, and enlightening pronouncements would ensue! Then he would vanish again, behind the door. I will always remember him with the greatest fondness. The family would like to express their appreciation to his caregivers, Marie Sesay, Lori Page, and Carey Goins for their kindness and dedication during his long illness. Dr. Pettit was cremated and, per his request, no service was held.

Dean was born on September 30, 1953 in Portland, Oregon to William G. Shuler and the late Maxine Shelton Schuler. In the spring of 1960 the family moved to central California. They lived in Danville until 1967 when they moved to Bloomington, Minnesota. In 1969, they moved to St. Louis, Missouri where Dean graduated from Kirkwood High School. He went on to graduate from Southwest Missouri State University in Springfield in 1975. Upon graduation Dean moved to California and began attending Sonoma State College in their Masters of Psychology program. Dean worked briefly using his degree then enjoyed travelling (hitchhiking) around the country before settling in New Orleans in 1983 working in the limousine transportation business with Ed Sakakeeny. He moved through the industry working with Ambassador Limousine, Premier Limousine, and A Confidential Limousine. In 1991 Ed and Dean picked up the Elite Limousine permits and in 1994 changed the company name to Signature Livery. That same year they became a Carey Affiliate. In 1996, Dean was instrumental in getting a long-term contract with Carey International. The company grew over the next several years doing conventions and corporate accounts. They got the Super Bowl contract in 1997 and again in 2002. When hurricanes Katrina and Rita hit, the company set up shop in Woodlands, TX and moved their fleet out of the city. When they could move back in, Signature Livery worked federal contracts with Carey International for FEMA transportation needs. Recently, they worked transportation for the Coast Guard during the BP oil spill. Dean had a passion for the livery business and researched it extensively. He had no patience for sloppy research or bad numbers. He wrote a monthly column for Limousine Digest since its publication in 1991. He was always willing to help livery operators who had questions on how to build, operate, and market their business. This Icon of the Industry will be missed. Dean was preceded in death by his mother, Maxine Schuler and his brother Scott Schuler. He is survived by his father William G. Schuler, his brother Jim Schuler (Denice) of Morrilton, Arkansas, niece, Meg Belew (Kyle) of Kansas City, Missouri, nephew, Andrew Schuler of southern California and Dean's great nephew, Aidan Belew.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Horace Arthur Thompson and Henrietta Rachel Deck of New Orleans and Waveland, Mississippi and his sister Dorothy Thompson Hubbard of Waveland, Mississippi. Horace is survived by his beloved wife of 70 years, Ethel Hyde Strack Thompson, their four children; Horace "Topper" Thompson III and his wife Susan of Washington, DC and Pass Christian, Mississippi; Carolyn Thompson Abaunza and her husband Donald, of New Orleans; Bruce Henry Thompson and his wife Bébé of New Orleans; Susan Louise Thompson of McAllen, Texas; eight grandchildren; Charles Clark Thompson , Jeffery Hyde Thompson, Donald Richard Abaunza Jr, Megan Thompson Lovoi, Todd Carrère Thompson, Sheldon Thompson Schmidt, Jove Graham, Forest "Fory" Graham, and four great grand-children, Phineas, Sage and Piper Thompson, and Thompson Schmidt. Horace graduated from Tulane University in 1938 where he earned a B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering. He was active on campus as a member of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity and competed in track, boxing, swimming, and diving. In his sophomore year Horace joined the first Platoon Leadership Class of the United States Marine Corps. He began his business career with the Humble Oil Company in Texas and later with the Standard Oil refinery in Baton Rouge. In early 1941 he began active duty with the Marine Corps on Midway Island in the Pacific. Lieutenant Thompson commanded an artillery battery and defended Midway the night of December 7, 1941 and again at the Battle of Midway. He served on General Douglas MacArthur's staff in the Philippines as one of four Marine liaison officers helping to plan the invasion of Japan. Following the war Horace commanded the New Orleans Marine Reserve unit until he retired from the Corps as a Lieutenant Colonel in 1951. In 1946 Horace, "Punchy" as he was known to his business colleagues, founded Thompson Equipment Company, TECO, to provide advanced process equipment to the growing petro-chemical industries. The business thrived under his leadership and is today headed by his grandson. Through the years, he volunteered his time to many organizations and served on several boards including the Lambeth House, Junior Achievement, the Children's Hospital, and the Freedom Foundation. Horace particularly enjoyed returning to Audubon Montessori, where he attended grade school, to talk to the students about business and World War II. He was a member of Bay Waveland Yacht Club as well as several social clubs and carnival organizations. Horace loved sailing with his "first-mate", Ethel, in their Lightning which he built. He was a skilled hunter and often cooked any "extra" ducks in the blind. He was a pilot and enjoyed flying friends to the barrier islands to fish for specks and redfish. Following Hurricane Betsy, his neighbors and friends appreciated the ice flown to New Orleans in those weeks without power. Friends are invited to a reception on the twelfth floor of Lambeth House, 150 Broadway, Monday, November 8, 2010 from 3:00pm until 5:00pm.
