She met her future husband there and after a long distance relationship stretching from Drew, Mississippi to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Jean married Capt. William Hardie Banks on October 28, 1944, while he was on a very short leave from the war. After the war, Hardie and his "Chick" moved to New Orleans, LA, where they lived for 58 years. They moved to Shreveport following Hurricane Katrina. Jean believed strongly in the importance of education and taught school for nearly twenty years. She was an avid reader, frequently visiting the library and checking out several books at a time, reading every one and returning them the very next week. She shared her love of reading with her children who all have followed in her footsteps as avid readers. She loved music and dancing and it was not uncommon to awake in the mornings hearing Momma singing in the kitchen, and then arrive there to see her dancing! She always insisted we experience everything and overloaded us with tennis lessons, swimming lessons, dance lessons, cooking lessons, sewing lessons...even charm school! The grandchildren weren't exempt either as she continued this practice with them! She and Hardie had many friends and enjoyed many fun- filled years in New Orleans. Active members of Munholland Methodist Church for many years, they still were in touch with many friends from there. An active member of many organizations, Jean was smart, loving, clever, loyal, and a true Southern lady. She enjoyed the unconditional love of her family and friends and will be greatly missed. Jean was preceded in death by her parents, Donna Carter Hitch and William Anderson Hitch; sisters, Ann Hitch Ewing and Wilmary Hitch Elliott; brother William Anderson Hitch, Jr, beloved son-in-law Gerald Wayne Curtis, Jr. and infant daughter Paula Jean Banks.

Barton III, a New Orleans oil and gas attorney, died peacefully in Covington, La. on Sunday, February 19, 2012. He was 72. In addition to his wife, Mary Anne Bryant Barton, he is survived by his mother, Irma Reed Edwards Barton, Nashville, TN; a brother, Ben Reed Barton, Roanoke, VA; cousins in Nashville; and nine nieces and nephews. He was the son of the late J. A. Barton, Jr., of Nashville. A native of Nashville, Jim graduated from Peabody Demonstration School, now the University School of Nashville, in 1957. He graduated from the University of the South in Sewanee, TN, in 1961 with a B.A. in Political Science and from Tulane Law School with a J.D. in 1964. He was eventually admitted to the practice of law in Tennessee, Louisiana, Texas and before the United States Supreme Court. Jim began his practice of law in Nashville, but missed New Orleans so much that he returned two years later to join the Law Department of Amoco Production Company. In 1978 he joined the New Orleans law firm of Chaffe, McCall, specializing in oil and gas law. In 1996 he formed the small firm of Barton, Richardson, Canseco and Whitney and in 2001 moved his solo practice to Covington. Jim lived in New Orleans and then Metairie until 1982, when he and Mary Anne liberated their cats from the Jefferson Parish cat leash law and moved to Covington. He loved history, especially the intelligence activities of World War II. He described his first computer as "the best secret decoder ring I ever had". He loved music, from the New Orleans Symphony to the New Orleans Jazz Festival and Louisiana Swamp blues, yet was probably happiest listening to Benny Goodman albums at home. Jim earned a brown belt in karate and served as secretary of the LA Karate Association.

After leaving the Air Force in 1962 he attended Florida State University and was a proud Seminole for the rest of his life, though often frustrated with their performance on the football field! He graduated with a bachelor's degree in management and moved to the New Orleans area to work at Standard Brands and later Katz and Besthoff (known as K&B to locals) where he served as the Director of Human Resources, which was the highlight of a highly successful career, until Rite Aid purchased K&B in 1997. Always hard working, he was hired by New York Life as a Financial Services professional where he quickly established himself as a leader and top performer in the local area until he retired in just the last few years. He was an avid sportsman and thoroughly enjoyed hunting and fishing in the marshes and woods of Southern Louisiana and Mississippi. He spent many Saturday afternoons cleaning and fileting mounds of trout and redfish caught in the Rigolets and surrounding areas.

She was surrounded by family and friends and held court right up to the end; she was having it no other way. Alice was a truly remarkable person, born July 31st 1927 in Birmingham, Al, weighing just over 2 pounds and first kept in a shoebox, she would become bigger than life to her friends. Alice arrived in New Orleans from her childhood home, Alexandria La, by bus in 1946 carrying a single suitcase. She was befriended by Torchy Wilde who saw Alice getting off the bus. Trochy told Alice that she should get back on the bus and go back where she came from; she was much too young to take on the city, but take on the city was just what she did. She began working in local French Quarter bars and learned the trade and the workings of the city. Alice was gutsy and determined and eventually opened her own bar in 1952, The Mascarade Bar at 819 St. Louis St. Her goal was to have a place where gay patrons could gather and have a good time. At that time one could be arrested for gathering in a known gay bar, but this did not detour Alice; her customers were going to be safe in her bar. Alice's compassion and close watch on her customers lead to her becoming a legend in the Gay Community. Following the Mascarade she opened Alice Brady's at 514 Ursulines St. Her third location was Mr. D's Hide-A-Way and finally Brady's at 700 N. Rampart St. She sold Brady's in the late 1970's and retired to Metairie with her first New Orleans friend Torchy. She soon found that retirement was not for her and she bought into another local bar only to sell her interest and retired again. Several bar owners tried to get her to return to the business offering her numerous opportunities. She came out of retirement and began tending bar again on Rampart Street, spending her shifts telling stories of her life in New Orleans, and pouring many drinks. She could fill a bar when she was working because the old and the new wanted to hear her escapades. She eventually moved to the Friendly Bar on Chartres Street and continued drawing in crowds until standing for hours became an issue and in the early 1990's she had to give up bartending. Alice spent her later years visiting with her friends who would stop by, talking on the phone and sending e-mails. When she did make the occasional appearance in public she could still stop traffic, everyone loved Alice. Alice's long and vast life experiences could not be learned in school, they had to be lived, and live she did. Alice was always available to offer advice gathered from her life experiences and knowledge. She was perhaps best known as the proprietor of lesbian bars but her personality spilled over to include the male gay community and many in the straight community. She had a passion for music, if you liked a certain artist or a particular song and Alice knew it, you'd get a CD from her. During her years in the French Quarter she became friends with many of the great musicians and entertainers playing on Bourbon Street as well as musicians from around the world. She shared her vast collection of music with her friends and bar owners making tapes and eventually CD's that played throughout the city. Although Alice never had children of her own, she raised hundreds. She was a friend to many, whose lives were changed and served as an inspiration to members of the gay community who went on to become doctors, lawyers, nurses, businessmen and women. Alice would say that she was helped by many when she arrived in New Orleans and intern she helped many throughout her lifetime. Alice put forth a gruff demeanor but once you peeled away this facade of the 'tough broad" you found the real Alice the one with the heart of gold. Alice was an original contributor in the 1960's to the newly forming Gay Mardi Gras Balls and in the 1970's she helped sponsor local gay softball teams, bowling leagues and the Kitty Kat Koctail Klub, giving our community events outside the bars to participate in and bringing gay women and men together. In the 1980's our community faced the biggest nightmare we had ever encountered, the "HIV/AIDS" epidemic. Once again Alice stood up and comforted all of us who were lost in how to deal with the emotional and physical ravaging of our community. When local fundraising events were planned to help people with HIV/AIDS, Alice was an original contributor, and for the rest of her life she was a champion for Buzzy's Boys & Girls who continues to help people with HIV/AIDS today. Alice was preceded in death by her mother, Alice Pickles Brady, her father Wilson D. Brady, and her sister Maude Eddie Winn. She is survived by her loving nephew Raleigh Winn, his wife Lois, of Pineville LA, great nieces and nephews, and her "adopted" son Dennis Sickles of Galveston, TX, his partner Randy Elwood, her very special close and dear friend Yanett, and many loving friends from coast to coast. Special thanks to Raleigh and Lois for your devotion and late night computer fixes. Sam & Gloria, Pam & Ludie, Marty & Koo, and Jackie for your close watch over Alice the past several years, she appreciated you all very much. To Mary Faucheaux, in Alice's words "You are an Angel," and to Cindy you showed Alice that you are never too old to be a valuable and productive confidant. Above all, Alice's life would not have been complete had she not been able to share 21 years of her life with her dog, Colette. Colette was the love of her life and her devoted companion and friend. A Memorial Service will be held at St. Anna Episcopal Church, 1313 Esplanade Avenue, New Orleans on Saturday, March 24th, 2012 at 2:00 PM, followed by a reception at The Friendly Bar, 2301 Chartres Street.

Alice you will be missed by your family and loving friends all the days of our lives. The legend of Alice Brady will be there always to remind us about the Alice Brady we knew and loved. From the 1940's to 2012, Alice was and is revered in the Gay and Straight Community here and afar, and she will continue to be revered, we truly have lost a legend.

Alice was a truly remarkable person, born July 31st 1927 in Birmingham, Al, weighing just over 2 pounds and first kept in a shoebox, she would become bigger than life to her friends. Alice arrived in New Orleans from her childhood home, Alexandria La, by bus in 1946 carrying a single suitcase. She was befriended by Torchy Wilde who saw Alice getting off the bus. Trochy told Alice that she should get back on the bus and go back where she came from; she was much too young to take on the city, but take on the city was just what she did. She began working in local French Quarter bars and learned the trade and the workings of the city. Alice was gutsy and determined and eventually opened her own bar in 1952, The Mascarade Bar at 819 St. Louis St. Her goal was to have a place where gay patrons could gather and have a good time. At that time one could be arrested for gathering in a known gay bar, but this did not detour Alice; her customers were going to be safe in her bar. Alice's compassion and close watch on her customers lead to her becoming a legend in the Gay Community. Following the Mascarade she opened Alice Brady's at 514 Ursulines St. Her third location was Mr. D's Hide-A-Way and finally Brady's at 700 N. Rampart St. She sold Brady's in the late 1970's and retired to Metairie with her first New Orleans friend Torchy. She soon found that retirement was not for her and she bought into another local bar only to sell her interest and retired again. Several bar owners tried to get her to return to the business offering her numerous opportunities. She came out of retirement and began tending bar again on Rampart Street, spending her shifts telling stories of her life in New Orleans, and pouring many drinks. She could fill a bar when she was working because the old and the new wanted to hear her escapades. She eventually moved to the Friendly Bar on Chartres Street and continued drawing in crowds until standing for hours became an issue and in the early 1990's she had to give up bartending. Alice spent her later years visiting with her friends who would stop by, talking on the phone and sending e-mails. When she did make the occasional appearance in public she could still stop traffic, everyone loved Alice. Alice's long and vast life experiences could not be learned in school, they had to be lived, and live she did. Alice was always available to offer advice gathered from her life experiences and knowledge. She was perhaps best known as the proprietor of lesbian bars but her personality spilled over to include the male gay community and many in the straight community. She had a passion for music, if you liked a certain artist or a particular song and Alice knew it, you'd get a CD from her. During her years in the French Quarter she became friends with many of the great musicians and entertainers playing on Bourbon Street as well as musicians from around the world. She shared her vast collection of music with her friends and bar owners making tapes and eventually CD's that played throughout the city. Although Alice never had children of her own, she raised hundreds. She was a friend to many, whose lives were changed and served as an inspiration to members of the gay community who went on to become doctors, lawyers, nurses, businessmen and women. Alice would say that she was helped by many when she arrived in New Orleans and intern she helped many throughout her lifetime. Alice put forth a gruff demeanor but once you peeled away this facade of the 'tough broad" you found the real Alice the one with the heart of gold. Alice was an original contributor in the 1960's to the newly forming Gay Mardi Gras Balls and in the 1970's she helped sponsor local gay softball teams, bowling leagues and the Kitty Kat Koctail Klub, giving our community events outside the bars to participate in and bringing gay women and men together. In the 1980's our community faced the biggest nightmare we had ever encountered, the "HIV/AIDS" epidemic. Once again Alice stood up and comforted all of us who were lost in how to deal with the emotional and physical ravaging of our community. When local fundraising events were planned to help people with HIV/AIDS, Alice was an original contributor, and for the rest of her life she was a champion for Buzzy's Boys & Girls who continues to help people with HIV/AIDS today. Alice was preceded in death by her mother, Alice Pickles Brady, her father Wilson D. Brady, and her sister Maude Eddie Winn. She is survived by her loving nephew Raleigh Winn, his wife Lois, of Pineville LA, great nieces and nephews, and her "adopted" son Dennis Sickles of Galveston, TX, his partner Randy Elwood, her very special close and dear friend Yanett, and many loving friends from coast to coast. Special thanks to Raleigh and Lois for your devotion and late night computer fixes. Sam & Gloria, Pam & Ludie, Marty & Koo, and Jackie for your close watch over Alice the past several years, she appreciated you all very much. To Mary Faucheaux, in Alice's words "You are an Angel," and to Cindy you showed Alice that you are never too old to be a valuable and productive confidant. Above all, Alice's life would not have been complete had she not been able to share 21 years of her life with her dog, Colette. Colette was the love of her life and her devoted companion and friend. A Memorial Service will be held at St. Anna Episcopal Church, 1313 Esplanade Avenue, New Orleans on Saturday, March 24th, 2012 at 2:00 PM, followed by a reception at The Friendly Bar, 2301 Chartres Street. Please join us for a Celebration of Life to remember Alice Lee Brady. People wishing to make donations to Buzzy's Boys & Girls in Alice's name can mail them to 2301 Chartres St., New Orleans, 70117 or at the Friendly Bar. For more information call (504) 943-8929. Alice you will be missed by your family and loving friends all the days of our lives. The legend of Alice Brady will be there always to remind us about the Alice Brady we knew and loved. From the 1940's to 2012, Alice was and is revered in the Gay and Straight Community here and afar, and she will continue to be revered, we truly have lost a legend.

He lived in New Orleans, Louisiana for 38 years, Covington, LA for 19 years and Windsor, Colorado from August 2011 to present. He graduated from East Jefferson High School in Metairie, Louisiana in 1972. He was employed at Gerhardt's for 31 years and was an airport limo driver before Gerhardt's for a time as well. Hobbies: Photography and travel He is survived by his wife Liesa Brown and their two canine children, Teaux-Teaux and Quazi-Meaux-Deaux, his brother Wayne and his wife Suzanne from Metairie, Louisiana, his sister-in-law Cathy "Acorn" Ayotte and her husband Matt, their two children - his nephew Tyler Ayotte and his niece, Allison "Allie Cat" Ayotte, his brother-in-law Chris Ruff and his wife Cyd Ruff - their two children - his niece Mackenzie and nephew, Derek "FiFi" Ruff, and his father-in-law Bob Nickle and his wife Darlene. He is preceded in death by his father, William T. Brown, Sr., his sister, Nina Kay Brown, his mother-in-law Lois Nickle and Fizzbeaux Brown, his canine love. Glynn had the ultimate gift of the ability to start a conversation with anyone. His gift of gab is legendary. With his gift of gab came his incredible sense of humor and amazingly quick wit. If he couldn't make you laugh, well, you just don't much of a sense of humor! Glynn was also about as genuine a person as you would come across, he had no sense of pretense and told you what he thought, just completely laid it on the line for you. If you asked his opinion on something, you better be ready for the answer because he would definitely tell you. Glynn was a collector or pretty much anything there was a quantity of to be collected, from hotel room keys, to doubloons (Mardi Gras coins) to antique canning jars. His love of Mardi Gras too was another thing that everyone knew about Glynn. He loved the tradition of it and the meaning and celebration of Mardi Gras for what it stood for and what it meant for his city of New Orleans. He was as proud of New Orleans as any father would be of his child. He was and always will be a true New Orleans boy through and through. He had a passion for his photography and travel, both of which fed off of the other. The trips that he was able take over the years with Liesa to Hawaii, Alaska, all 50 states but two, made for some amazing photographs, a gift that he has left for all to enjoy and remember his by. His puppies, his kids, Fizzbeaux, Teaux-Teaux and Quazi were a true love of his life as well. Teaux- Teaux and Quazi were wonderful companions for him and Liesa but especially in the last year after he had retired and was home a lot of the time. All three dogs were taken in as strays or rescues from the Humane Society, an organization that was of great importance to him. Glynn had a lot of loves and passions in his life but absolutely nothing surpassed his love of his wife, Liesa of almost 22 years. His love for her was one of the most genuine things about him which is saying quite a bit.

Reverend Hampton Davis, Pastor of Our Lady Queen of Peace, will be Celebrant of the Mass and will conduct the funeral services. Burial will take place in Holy Mary Mother of God Cemetery. After a long, beautiful life, filled with more sunshine than rain, the Lord has called Kathalyn Ann "Kay" O'Connor Bullen, beloved wife, mother, grandmother and friend, home to rest in eternal peace in his loving embrace. Kay was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on November 12, 1936, to James Lawrence O'Connor and Leona Catherine Dixon. She was raised in the Irish Channel district of New Orleans with her cousin, Raymond J. Dixon, Jr., whom she loved as a brother. She was a graduate of Redemptorist High School, and she attended Loyola University of New Orleans, until she met and married the love of her life, William Ross Bullen, Jr., to whom she was married for forty-eight years, and who predeceased her in 2008. Together, they raised four children: Chris, Billy, Jimbo and Anne, who have cherished childhood memories of their mother, who drove them to school in her nightgown, served delicious, home-cooked meals every night, sat patiently with them until all hours as they finished their homework assignments, and took them to the Town House pool from sun up to sun down during the long, hot summer months. A Homemaker by profession, she created a warm, loving home, and opened it to friends and neighbors, hosting Sunday night steak dinners, impromptu kitchen table gatherings and informal holiday dinners, resulting in a large "extended family" that still shares a deep connection today. She dearly loved her three daughters-in-law: Karen Brownlee Bullen, with whom she enjoyed numerous road trips, antiquing and shopping; Kimberly Larrison Bullen, with whom she shared the pleasure of cooking; and Loralee Lindquist Bullen, with whom she spent hours visiting on the telephone; and her son-in-law, Andres Zornosa, whose sense of humor delighted her. In her later life, doting on her grandchildren: Braden, Caty, Josh, Hannah, Morgan, Ethan, Sydney, Adriana and Quinn, brought her great joy. Kay was an active volunteer in the Lafayette community. She served as Room Mother for her children's classes, Den Mother for her sons' cub scout den, and Troup Leader for her daughter's brownie and girl scout troop. She was a Member of En Avant, a Sustaining Member of the Junior League of Lafayette, and a past President of the Auxiliary of the Lafayette Association of Professional Landmen. She also served several decades as a volunteer on the Maids' Committee of the Lafayette Townhouse Krewe of the Troubadours. The family would like to extend their sincerest gratitude to their brother, Jim and his wife, Kim, and to family friend, Ms. Georgia Alexander, for caring for their mother so lovingly during her declining years and allowing her to maintain her independence. Pallbearers will be Billy Bullen, Braden Bullen, Josh Bullen, Andres Zornosa, Ray Dixon and Peter Hoppe.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 45 years, Carol Herington Carmody. He was the adored father of Kitty Carmody Hagan and Eileen Carmody-Wicks, and the cherished "Papa" of Bree Hagan, Ashton Wicks and Hannah Wicks, all of Slidell. He is also survived by his dearest friends: Edward and Alfa Maschek. He was the only child of the late Dr. Donald R. Carmody and Violette Nyland Carmody. Born on November 25, 1941 in East Chicago, IN, Don was raised in Iowa, Texas and Illinois. After graduating from high school in Crete, IL in 1960, he joined the U.S. Navy as an electronics technician and nuclear reactor operator. During his Navy years, he served aboard several submarines, including the USS Sargo and USS James Madison. He was involved in the construction of the Madison and served on her first Blue Crew. He later taught electronics in "A" and "B" school for the Navy and served a tour at NAS Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, before leaving the Navy as a Chief Petty Officer. After serving in the Navy, he worked briefly for Motorola in Illinois before transferring to Texas to accept a job as a radio communications specialist with U.S. Customs, eventually retiring in 2002.

Together with his wife, he received the honor of the Order of St. Louis IX Medallion in recognition of their dedication to the work of the Catholic Church in the Archdiocese of New Orleans. Don will be fondly remembered and deeply missed by all who knew him. His kindness defined him and his generosity to family, friends and even complete strangers knew no limits. He lived his life by the credo that time and attention were the greatest gifts one could bestow, and he gave generously of all he had, preferring to lead by example without expectation of recognition or reward.

Born on May 2, 1920 in Algiers, LA, Francis grew up in the Holy Cross neighborhood of New Orleans graduating from Holy Cross School as the Class of 1937 valedictorian. Guidance from the brothers at Holy Cross had a profound effect on his character. Several maternal uncles, a son, and two grandsons are also Holy Cross alumni. He was a resident of Arabi, LA, for all of his married adult life until August of 2005 when part of his family relocated to Lafayette. As a proud veteran of the United States Naval Reserve during World War II, he enjoyed recalling his time in the service including when his entire ball team voluntarily enlisted in December of 1941. He served on the USS Ellyson, DD-454, and USS Ganter, DE-60, as a Fire Controlman in both the American Area and European African Middle Eastern Area Campaigns, earning his Naval Aviator certification in April of 1947.

Sports played an important role in his life and he played softball well into his fifties.

A long- time resident of New Orleans, he was born in Providence, Rhode Island, on December 16, 1950, the son of the late CAPT Raymond Compton, USN and the late Elsie Ruth Hall Compton. Mr. Compton's business interests were many and varied. In his youth, he was in the merchant marine, and sailed to India and Pakistan. He also managed the Bridge Bowl Texaco in Algiers. He was an independent distributor for the States-Item in uptown New Orleans during the 1970s. Later, he developed his interest in wood-working into a partnership as Custom Milled Cypress, specializing in cypress shutters, blinds and custom millwork. Still later, he owned and operated an independent over-the-road truck line for many years. Most recently, he was an owner-operator with United Cabs of New Orleans. A lifelong student of philosophy, Mr. Compton was an avid chess player in his younger years, and participated in many tournaments. Later, his sporting interests turned to poker, in which he was also a frequent tournament player. More recently, he found great enjoyment in organic gardening. He will long be remembered for his kind, giving nature and his many generosities. There wasn't a mean bone in his body; he had the biggest heart. He would give you the shirt off his back; and we all watched him do it, time after time, year after year.

Born on December 21, 1920 in Mineral Wells, Texas, he was the only child of Dr. Albert Bruce Crutcher, Sr. and Mary Lee Hudson Crutcher of Dallas, Texas. Showing an early talent for drawing and painting, by his mid-teens, he was producing gallery-quality portraits and working summers as a roustabout in the East Texas oil fields. Attended Highland Park high school in Dallas, where his prowess as a running back earned him the nickname, "Mountain Man Crutcher." In 1943 he left his art studies at Yale University to enlist in Naval Air Training for WWII. Upon earning his wings, he was assigned to the U.S. Marine Corps as a pilot in the South Pacific. In 1944 he flew 96 missions in nine months in a Dauntless SBD-5 dive bomber. Lieutenant Crutcher was awarded six Distinguished Flying Crosses and 21 Air Medals for bravery. After the war, Crutcher returned to Yale where he graduated in 1946 with a BFA. In 1948 he returned home to Dallas to bury his father and made a life-changing decision: go to work in the oil business. With a letter of recommendation from the wildcatter H.L. Hunt, Crutcher was hired by Humble Oil & Refining, where he worked as a petroleum land man. In 1950, Humble transferred Crutcher to New Orleans, where he eventually started his own oil & gas leasing business. In 1960 he was joined by another former Humble land man, J.D. Tufts II, and they enjoyed 33 prosperous years as business partners. Known for their dynamic deal making, "JD" and "Crutch" built a successful oil and gas exploration and real estate business. On the home front in New Orleans he met and fell in love with Mary Lee Tullis Eaves in 1951. After months of dating Crutcher she finally accepted his proposal and the two enjoyed 54 wonderful years of marriage. In the1960s, Crutcher also took up competitive sailing at the Southern Yacht Club, racing Dragon-class boats both in the United States and internationally. In addition, he led a group of members to form the Olympic Sailing Association of the Southern Yacht Club in 1965, a syndicate that supported Buddy Friedrichs, Barton Jahnke and Click Schreck to aim for and eventually win a gold medal in the Mexico Olympics in 1968. For the remainder of his sporting life, his focus shifted to the game of golf. He and Mary Lee divided their time between New Orleans, Pebble Beach, Calif. and many golf-related destinations. A member of the Cypress Point Club, the New Orleans Country Club, the Bayou Club, the U.S. Seniors' Golf Association, the Petroleum Club, the New Orleans Lawn Tennis Club, the Southern Yacht Club, the Avoca Duck Club and various carnival organizations. Pre-deceased by his wife of 54 years, Mary Lee Tullis Crutcher, and stepdaughter, Penelope Eaves Becker. Crutcher is survived by three children: Allison Crutcher McAshan (Kenny), Albert Bruce Crutcher III (Robin), and John Tullis Crutcher (Encarna) of Seattle, WA; two step daughters: Marilee Eaves James (Ed) of Seattle, WA and Priscilla Eaves Reiss (Jimmy); seven grandchildren: Shannon Collins, Charlotte Collins Meade, Samantha McAshan, Will McAshan, Hudson McAshan, Garner McAshan, and Ian Crutcher; nine step grandchildren: Anne Phyfe Palmer, Rebecca Snedeker, Jennifer Arnone, James Reiss III, Lady Reiss Fuller, Crutcher Reiss, Peter Becker, Christian Becker and Rudy Vrana; 1 great-grandchild, John Arthur Meade II; 16 step great-grand-children; and his black lab retriever, "Maggie."

After the war, Crutcher returned to Yale where he graduated in 1946 with a BFA. In 1948 he returned home to Dallas to bury his father and made a life-changing decision: go to work in the oil business. With a letter of recommendation from the wildcatter H.L. Hunt, Crutcher was hired by Humble Oil & Refining, where he worked as a petroleum land man. In 1950, Humble transferred Crutcher to New Orleans, where he eventually started his own oil & gas leasing business. In 1960 he was joined by another former Humble land man, J.D. Tufts II, and they enjoyed 33 prosperous years as business partners. Known for their dynamic deal making, "JD" and "Crutch" built a successful oil and gas exploration and real estate business. On the home front in New Orleans he met and fell in love with Mary Lee Tullis Eaves in 1951. After months of dating Crutcher she finally accepted his proposal and the two enjoyed 54 wonderful years of marriage. In the1960s, Crutcher also took up competitive sailing at the Southern Yacht Club, racing Dragon-class boats both in the United States and internationally. In addition, he led a group of members to form the Olympic Sailing Association of the Southern Yacht Club in 1965, a syndicate that supported Buddy Friedrichs, Barton Jahnke and Click Schreck to aim for and eventually win a gold medal in the Mexico Olympics in 1968. For the remainder of his sporting life, his focus shifted to the game of golf. He and Mary Lee divided their time between New Orleans, Pebble Beach, Calif. and many golf-related destinations. A member of the Cypress Point Club, the New Orleans Country Club, the Bayou Club, the U.S. Seniors' Golf Association, the Petroleum Club, the New Orleans Lawn Tennis Club, the Southern Yacht Club, the Avoca Duck Club and various carnival organizations. Pre-deceased by his wife of 54 years, Mary Lee Tullis Crutcher, and stepdaughter, Penelope Eaves Becker. Crutcher is survived by three children: Allison Crutcher McAshan (Kenny), Albert Bruce Crutcher III (Robin), and John Tullis Crutcher (Encarna) of Seattle, WA; two step daughters: Marilee Eaves James (Ed) of Seattle, WA and Priscilla Eaves Reiss (Jimmy); seven grandchildren: Shannon Collins, Charlotte Collins Meade, Samantha McAshan, Will McAshan, Hudson McAshan, Garner McAshan, and Ian Crutcher; nine step grandchildren: Anne Phyfe Palmer, Rebecca Snedeker, Jennifer Arnone, James Reiss III, Lady Reiss Fuller, Crutcher Reiss, Peter Becker, Christian Becker and Rudy Vrana; 1 great-grandchild, John Arthur Meade II; 16 step great-grand-children; and his black lab retriever, "Maggie."

He was a native of New Orleans, Louisiana and lifetime resident of Jefferson Parish.

Walter was a hard worker who diligently provided for his family. It could be said that he had a second profession as a cook-one who embodied the very essence of Cajun cuisine, ensuring that anyone who visited his home was fed a great meal and invited to come again. He was a self-educated man who knew how to captivate an audience with his story telling. He loved all things to do with nature and adored being a grandfather and great-grandfather. He wasn't one for hugging, but he cherished getting a hug. And though he wasn't big on sentiment, he missed his wife until the day he died.

He was the only son of Velma Nelson Fricks and Robert David Fricks of Texarkana, Texas. Jack was preceded in death by a sister and by his life partner, Robert Luther Hines, who died in 2004. Jack and Robert lived in New Orleans in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, where they were realtors. They bought and restored several historically significant properties, including the Le Prete mansion in the French Quarter, the Nelson Foucher House in Faubourg Marigny, and a mansion on Esplanade Avenue, which was designed by the distinguished architect Henry Howard. Among their wide circle of friends, they were fondly regarded as excellent hosts who gave lavish dinner parties, for which they themselves did the cooking. In the late 1970s, Jack and Bob moved to San Francisco, where they lived for a number of years, cultivating a new circle of friends. In the early 1990s, they returned to New Orleans, then moved in 1998 to Canton, North Carolina, where Robert died. Jack remained there until 2010, when he moved to Pasadena, where he again was surrounded by numerous friends. A memorial service was held there following his death, and another is scheduled for New Orleans soon. Jack and Robert were friends of numerous writers, including Paul and Jane Bowles, Gore Vidal, and Tennessee Williams, who was a frequent guest in their home. They regularly participated in the Tennessee Williams Festivals in New Orleans and in Clarksdale, Mississippi. Both Jack and Robert are sorely missed by their many friends here and elsewhere. 3/17/2012 Times Picayune **************************************** 000869 FRICKS Jack Nelson Fricks June 9, 1928 - January 11, 2012 Jack Fricks, a long-time former resident of New Orleans, LA, died in his sleep January 11, 2012, in Pasadena, California, where he had lived since 2010.

In the early 1990s, they returned to New Orleans, then moved in 1998 to Canton, North Carolina, where Robert died. Jack remained there until 2010, when he moved to Pasadena, where he again was surrounded by numerous friends. A memorial service was held there following his death, and another is scheduled for New Orleans soon. Jack and Robert were friends of numerous writers, including Paul and Jane Bowles, Gore Vidal, and Tennessee Williams, who was a frequent guest in their home. They regularly participated in the Tennessee Williams Festivals in New Orleans and in Clarksdale, Mississippi. Both Jack and Robert are sorely missed by their many friends here and elsewhere. 3/18/2012 Times Picayune **************************************** 000870 FROLICH Willie Mae Richoux Frolich passed away on Thursday, March 15, 2012, surrounded by her family at home.

The eldest of ten children, he was born on August 16, 1930, in Savannah, Georgia, and attended Marist and Cathedral Schools and was a 1948 graduate of Benedictine Military School there. He held a Bachelor of Science from Fordham University, graduating magna cum laude, in 1952. He went on to earn both his Master's Degree and his Doctorate in Organic Chemistry from Ohio State University. Subsequent to his extensive education, he served as a First Lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force, working as a project officer at the Air Force Office of Scientific Research in Washington, D.C. For the next three years he was employed as a research chemist at Ethyl Corporation in Baton Rouge, and for the following two years at the Air Force Materials Laboratory in Dayton, Ohio. Dr. Harper was a lead scientist in the textile finishing group at the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Southern Regional Research Center (SRRC) at New Orleans, where he worked for over 30 years. Among his many research projects was development of processes for producing durable press / flame retardant fabrics, many of which were used in military applications. The originality of his entire body of work is evidenced by the fact that of his nearly 200 publications, thirty-nine are U.S. patents. In addition to his papers, patents, and a book on durable press finishing, Dr. Harper had made more than 50 presentations at scientific meetings of the American Chemical Society, the Fiber Society, the Cotton Council, and the Industrial Fabrics Association International, among others. As an active member of the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC) throughout his career, Dr. Harper served as vice-chairman for its Gulf Coast Section in 1989-1990. He was the recipient of a number of citations and awards throughout his career, culminating in being named the national 1991 Olney Medal recipient in recognition of the many contributions he had made to improving the chemical finishing of cotton and cotton blends. He retired in 1995 and enjoyed a happy retirement, visiting family and friends, as well as traveling to new locales. He was a longtime, active member of St. Philip Neri Church in Metairie, where he and his wife, Ramona, resided for over 40 years and raised six children. In addition to family and church activities, his interests included bird watching, gardening, and square dancing. He also had a wonderful sense of humor and a contagious laugh and smile. Dr. Harper will be greatly missed by his family, colleagues, friends, and all who knew and loved him. Dr. Harper was preceded in death by his parents: Robert J. Harper Sr. and Saretta Hazel Laves; brothers: Michael Harper and Patrick Harper; sister, Joan Harper; and his wife of over 50 years, Ramona Keiser Harper of Columbus, Ohio.

He was very happy earlier in the evening with his wife Sandy enjoying a wonderful night of gambling and dinner with their close friends. He died suddenly that night after arriving home. His friends visited his home to say their last goodbyes to the man they had shared some of the best times of their lives and had loved for so many years. He loved life and wanted everyone to enjoy it as much as he did. He always enjoyed planning interesting gatherings for his friends and family. Pup and Sandy have shared 52 years of marriage. He loved his wife and family very much and told them often. On the night of his death he kindly shared this by telling her how much he loved her throughout the night and also of how beautiful she looked. Pup had been ill for some time, but his health had improved and he was feeling like his old self. Not only was he in love with his wife and having fun with his friends, but he was also feeling healthy and fine. He was a savvy businessman that was committed to his community. He was a generous man to those in need, young and old, as well as to family and friends. He had a genuine interest in giving back to the community by supporting schools, needs of the elderly, providing college scholarships and donating what was needed to lighten the burden of others. Wendle Huddleston will be missed. He was a remarkable man and will be remembered as that for a very long time. He was a well-meaning man of principle with high expectations for himself and others. He did not settle for mediocrity in anyone (and he let them know it). When things were tough, he considered it his personal challenge to overcome obstacles, whether they belonged to him or someone else. He enjoyed his journey through life with all the good times and the bad. All of those who knew him or of him will live in the grace of the memories shared and will be thankful to a man who loved to live. He is survived by his wife, Sandra Huddleston; his aunt, Roberta Drinkard; daughter Stacey Huddleston; son, Jeffrey Huddleston and his wife Denia Huddleston; Three grandchildren, Estacia Huddleston, Carolina Huddleston, Jeffrey Alexander Huddleston; and great grandson James Roman DiNicola. At his request there will not be a wake or funeral as he wanted to be remembered as he was when he was alive. He will be cremated. A celebration of his life will be planned for a later date. 3/27/2012 Times Picayune **************************************** 001171 HUDDLESTON Wendle "Pup Joint" Huddleston died in his home March 23, 2012 at the age of 78.

Mrs. Kemp taught for 18 years, ushering students through Westwego High School, Ella Dolhonde Elementary School and Airline Park Elementary School before becoming the first principal of Riverdale High School in 1962. In 1968, she moved to Grace King High School, where she was a formidable presence until her retirement in 1972. Mrs. Kemp was born in rural Auburn, Mississippi, on August 25, 1916, to Jake and Georgie Tuttle. Her father worked as a carpenter in New Orleans, but the collapse of the industry drove the family back to Mississippi, where they worked as sharecroppers in the 1920s and 1930s. Mrs. Kemp stayed with relatives in Louisiana in order to benefit from Gov. Huey Long's educational programs. The Great Depression may have made college a mere dream for a poor, young woman at a time when even wealthy women seldom attended, and the cost of tuition nearly kept her out of Southeastern College. Mrs. Kemp sometimes told the story that her mother, Georgie Tuttle, gave her the savings that she kept in an "asafetida" pouch that she wore around her neck to help pay tuition; but that she also worked at a "dime store" herself and played on the basketball team. She graduated in 1938. She had once said that she always knew that she wanted to become a teacher, and would play "school" with her brother, sister, and friends as a child. Unfortunately, the conditions of the Depression made jobs scarce and she accepted a position as a social worker in southeast Louisiana. After she married Cecil G. Kemp, she had difficulty finding a teaching position due to the common policy of refusing married women employment. A demand for teachers during World War II allowed her back into the classroom, even after the birth of her only child, Glenna. She continued to defy the stereotypes and expectations of women by returning to school as a student, receiving her masters of Education from Loyola University in 1960. Mrs. Kemp was a member of the Retired Teachers Association, Delta Kappa Gamma Sorority, Munholland Methodist Church and will be loved and remembered by all who knew her. Her husband Cecil G. Kemp and sister Hellen Brossette, passed away in 2001. Her parents, Jake and Georgie Tuttle, and her brother William Elmer Tuttle, are also deceased. She has lived in Houston, Texas for the past 5 years. She is survived by her daughter Glenna K. Fought and son-in-law Louis J. Fought of Richmond Texas; her grandchildren, Leigh Fought, living in Dublin Ireland; KarlFought of Hypoluxo, Florida, and Keith and Sharon Fought of Lago Vista, Texas; her great- grandchildren Jake and Bradley Fought; and her nieces Cheryl White of Prairieville, Louisiana, Peggy King of St. Francisville, Louisiana, and Laurie Odom of Mandeville, Louisiana. Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend the Funeral Services from Leitz-Eagan Funeral Home Chapel 4747 Veterans Blvd. Metairie, Louisiana on Friday morning March 9, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. A visitation will be held on Thursday evening March 8, 2012 from 6:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. and on Friday from 9:00 a.m. until time of services.

Mrs. Kemp sometimes told the story that her mother, Georgie Tuttle, gave her the savings that she kept in an "asafetida" pouch that she wore around her neck to help pay tuition; but that she also worked at a "dime store" herself and played on the basketball team. She graduated in 1938. She had once said that she always knew that she wanted to become a teacher, and would play "school" with her brother, sister, and friends as a child. Unfortunately, the conditions of the Depression made jobs scarce and she accepted a position as a social worker in southeast Louisiana. After she married Cecil G. Kemp, she had difficulty finding a teaching position due to the common policy of refusing married women employment. A demand for teachers during World War II allowed her back into the classroom, even after the birth of her only child, Glenna. She continued to defy the stereotypes and expectations of women by returning to school as a student, receiving her masters of Education from Loyola University in 1960. Mrs. Kemp was a member of the Retired Teachers Association, Delta Kappa Gamma Sorority, Munholland Methodist Church and will be loved and remembered by all who knew her. Her husband Cecil G. Kemp and sister Hellen Brossette, passed away in 2001. Her parents, Jake and Georgie Tuttle, and her brother William Elmer Tuttle, are also deceased. She has lived in Houston, Texas for the past 5 years. She is survived by her daughter Glenna K. Fought and son-in-law Louis J. Fought of Richmond Texas; her grandchildren, Leigh Fought, living in Dublin Ireland; KarlFought of Hypoluxo, Florida, and Keith and Sharon Fought of Lago Vista, Texas; her great- grandchildren Jake and Bradley Fought; and her nieces Cheryl White of Prairieville, Louisiana, Peggy King of St. Francisville, Louisiana, and Laurie Odom of Mandeville, Louisiana.

Mrs. Kemp taught for 18 years, ushering students through Westwego High School, Ella Dolhonde Elementary School and Airline Park Elementary School before becoming the first principal of Riverdale High School in 1962. In 1968, she moved to Grace King High School, where she was a formidable presence until her retirement in 1972. Mrs. Kemp was born in rural Auburn, Mississippi, on August 25, 1916, to Jake and Georgie Tuttle. Her father worked as a carpenter in New Orleans, but the collapse of the industry drove the family back to Mississippi, where they worked as sharecroppers in the 1920s and 1930s.

He was 88 years old. Levy was born in New Orleans and attended New Orleans public schools. He entered LSU in 1940, majoring in journalism and art and graduated in 1947, following three years in the U.S. Army during World War II. As a platoon leader in the 13th Infantry Regiment, 8th Division, he served in the Normandy, Brittany, Ardennes and Rhineland campaigns. He was awarded the Bronze Star, Combat Infantry Badge and Purple Heart. Following the war, he served in Amphibious, Transportation and Public Affairs units in the Army Reserve, retiring in 1966 with the rank of major. Levy joined The Times-Picayune, LLC in 1947, beginning as an editorial staff artist and later becoming art director of Dixie Roto, the Sunday magazine. In 1952, he left the paper to open a studio, becoming a pioneer in preparing artwork for television, which was just emerging as a mass communications medium. Working closely with the directors at WDSU, he developed the use of graphic arts and props in live production, creating many mechanically- animated live TV commercials and features before the advent of recorded programming. He created and appeared as the character " Maurice Mustache," a lively French artist who taught cartooning to kids on a live Saturday morning TV show. In addition, he illustrated and produced cartoon stories for "Mel Leavitt's Sports Show". In 1957 Levy began a five-year stint as art director at Godwin Advertising Agency in New Orleans. In 1962, in company with his wife, Bethoe Gessner Levy, he opened Creative Services, among the first of the graphic arts studios in the city and one that remained in the forefront of the profession for more than three decades. A well-known cartoonist, Gus' cartoon series "Crakbak" was a particular favorite of football fans, running in "The Dallas Cowboys Magazine" and "Gridweek." Gus's gift for characterizations and caricatures became especially well known with the creation of "Paolo Pomodori," translated "Paul Tomatoes." The character of Paolo was developed at the request of a client who needed something unique for a large convention. Posing as an exclusive Italian artist hired to do caricatures of participants, Gus kept everybody fooled for several days. Gus always made time for pro-bono work, lending a hand to a wide variety of nonprofit organizations. He served as chairman of the architecture committee of the Louisiana State University War Memorial Project. He was a founder and president of the Art Directors and Designers Association and provided board and committee work for The Advertising Club. In 1998 he was awarded the Ad Club Silver Medal. He is survived by his wife of 63 years, Bethoe Gessner Levy; two daughters: Joël Levy of Baton Rouge and Gwynn Torres Berger (Sidney) of Metairie; and one son, Robert Levy (Elizabeth) of Alexandria, La. Also survived by four granddaughters: Harper Levy Buman (Nathan) of Baton Rouge, Wallace Levy of New Orleans and Tourné Torres and Eliska Torres Fournier (Shawn) of Metairie. He is also survived by half-brother, Alan Levy, of Charleston, S.C.

"Buddy" New, Jr., longtime University of Texas supporter, businessman and thoroughbred horse owner died at the age of 70 on March 8th in La Jolla, California, with his loving family at his side. Buddy was born July 20, 1941 to Cora and Walter L. New in Odessa, Texas. His father who worked as a roughneck, and his mother, a homemaker, raised six children. A talented multi-sport athlete, Buddy played football for Hayden Fry's Odessa High School Broncos. In 1959 he attended The University of Texas on a full baseball scholarship, playing first base for legendary Texas coach Bibb Falk. The Longhorns played in the College World Series all three years of Buddy's career at Texas, and the friendships formed with these teammates have flourished over the years, with every story repeated (and embellished) at every gathering. In his junior season of 1962, Buddy played a part in one of the greatest Longhorn victories of that era. In the final game of the season, and needing a win at old Clark Field over Texas A&M to advance to the NCAA playoffs, the Longhorns trailed, 9-3, entering the eighth inning. Buddy, who had been put into the game as a substitute at first base by Coach Bibb Falk, hit a ball off the cliff in right centerfield in the unique old park, and when he slid home with an inside-the-park home run, the Longhorns were behind, 9-5, and a rally had started that would eventually tie the game at 10-10 in the tenth inning. With two outs and the bases empty in the bottom of the tenth, the left-handed hitting Buddy hooked a ball that bounced over the fence down the right field line for a ground- rule double. Teammate Gary London followed with another double off the cliff, and the picture of Buddy being mobbed by his teammates at the plate as he scored the winning run with a forlorn Aggie catcher watching became part of Longhorn baseball legend. After marrying his high school sweetheart, Sandy Ewell, in Austin in 1962, Buddy graduated with a degree in finance and moved to Southern California to become president of General Can Company, a division of Ormand Industries, a company helmed by Jerry Ormand, Sr., who was a mentor and father of a lifelong friend. In 1976, Buddy founded Palmetto Can Company in Hartsville, South Carolina. Major clients included Riceland Foods and several foreign aid programs that used the company's one gallon cooking oil cans. Before selling the company in 1989, he returned to his beloved Austin in 1984. Trusting two friends who were horse experts, Buddy entered the Thoroughbred business with them in 1988, purchasing a humble Texas-bred named Appealing Breeze. The horse was an immediate success, becoming a multiple stakes winner and his first Breeders' Cup starter. Hooked on racing, Buddy went on to campaign three horses in the Kentucky Derby over his career. In later years Buddy split his time between Austin, Texas, La Jolla, California, and Louisville, Kentucky tending to his various philanthropic endeavors, including donating to the University of Texas at Austin, the University of Houston, and the Scripps Foundation. Buddy's retirement years were spent traveling to watch his race horses with the love of his life, Sandy. Their almost 50-year marriage was filled with love beyond measure and blessed with two wonderful children who also survive him; Walter III and wife Bridget, and Victoria Elizabeth, "Tori," and husband Aaron Haberman and two precious grandchildren Izzie and Max, all from Los Angeles. The joy Izzie and Max brought to "Budman" enriched his life and kept him forever young. Buddy is also survived by sisters Jimmie Miller, and Sally Dennis, brother Tommy Joe, numerous nieces and nephews, and a multitude of friends across the country. He was preceded in death by his parents, sisters Peggy Purser and Judy Vaught and her husband Kenneth Vaught. Buddy has left us much too soon. His devotion to his family and his friends, his generous spirit, kind heart and his wise counsel will remain with us always. Viewing and visitation will be at 1:00 p.m. and services at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, March 16, 2012 in the Chapel of Weed-Corley-Fish Funeral Home, 3125 North Lamar.

He was 92. Except for his college years and his tour of duty in World War II, Mr. Savoia was a life-long resident of Donaldsonville, a town he jokingly described as having "growing impossibilities." He was a graduate of Ascension Catholic High School and earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from L.S.U., where he was a member of Phi Kappa Theta Fraternity. Mr. Savoia was a talented musician, who began playing jazz and swing music with an orchestra of youngsters by the time he was 12. His instruments of choice were the saxophone and the clarinet. The first in his family to attend college, Mr. Savoia studied music at L.S.U., much to the chagrin of his father who wanted him to become a pharmacist or a doctor. Mr. Savoia fell in love with L.S.U. and would be a devoted Tiger fan for the rest of his life. Mr. Savoia completed Officer's Candidate School at L.S.U. in 1942 and entered the United States Army as a Second Lieutenant. He was promoted to Captain and fought in the Battle of the Bulge. There, he was seriously wounded in January 1945 and left totally paralyzed and blind. Always a fighter, he regained his sight and the use of his right side. Although his days of playing music were over, Mr. Savoia never regretted a day of his military service, which he regarded as one of the proudest episodes of his life. He was awarded the Purple Heart and the Battle Star for his service in World War II. After the war, Mr. Savoia married Sarah Corte, a young teacher from New Orleans, and they settled in Donaldsonville to start a family. He did not lose his love of music and taught music and band in the Ascension Parish public schools. He later added history and government to his repertoire of courses. Mr. Savoia qualified as a guidance counselor and ultimately directed a career services program. He was a member of various professional educational associations before he retired from the public schools in l975. Mr. Savoia was a parishioner of Ascension of Our Lord Catholic Church and a strong supporter of its school system. His alma mater honored him by inducting him into the Ascension Catholic High School Hall of Fame. He also was elected Grand Knight of the Knights of Columbus and Knight of the Year of his local chapter. He was a member of his local chapter of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Affectionately known as "Prof" or " Cap," Mr. Savoia was smart, irreverent and wickedly funny. He loved politics and kept up with current events until the end of his days. An engaging raconteur, Mr. Savoia held family, friends and students in thrall with stories about World War II, American history or the events and characters of the day. Despite the physical challenges he faced throughout his adult life as a result of his war injuries, Mr. Savoia let nothing constrain his sheer joy in living. He just loved people, and they loved him back. Mr. Savoia is survived by his son, Charles C. Savoia and his wife, Joan; his daughter, Sarah Savoia Vance and her husband, Patrick; and his daughter Ann Savoia Ourso and her husband, Justin. He is also survived by his sister, Joan Savoia Guillot and her husband, Nolan; and his sister-in-law, Bertha (Mrs. Thomas) Savoia. His family includes eight grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Mr. Savoia was preceded in death by his wife, Sarah Corte Savoia; his parents, Charles and Cosimina Savoia; and his brother, Thomas Savoia. Mr. Savoia's family wishes to thank the faithful caregivers who attended to him in his last years. Visitation will take place at Ascension of Our Lord Catholic Church, 716 Mississippi Street, Donaldsonville, Louisiana, on Thursday, March 22 from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Mass of Christian Burial will follow at 10:30 a.m. Arrangements under the direction of Ourso Funeral Home in Donaldsonville.

He was 84. Semmes, an avid tennis player, was born in Memphis, Tennessee and was a graduate of Duke University. Upon graduation, Semmes joined the US Navy and later moved to New Orleans where he worked as a national, award-winning account executive at WWL-TV for over thirty years. Semmes studied gemology and achieved the rating of "Fellow" of the Gemological Institute of Great Britain, also becoming both a gem appraiser and master gem cutter. Two jewelry stores, Chatelaine Fine Gems, were opened by Semmes and operated in French Quarter hotels for fifteen years. Semmes was the founder of 1-800-Flowers, Inc., which in the 1980's operated as one of the country's earliest, pre-internet businesses modeled upon combining the power of television advertising, the credit card and a telephone number that spelled a word. The combination of the three mediums, at the time, represented a breakthrough in commercialtelecommunications, marketing and sales. 1-800-Flowers, Inc. has gone on to become 1-800-Flowers.com. As a preservationist pioneer, Semmes and his family developed an Irish Channel compound of clustered pre-civil war houses in the 1970's, at a time when urban compound residential living was not yet in vogue. His wife, Jane, and family still live at the site. Semmes is survived by his wife of 60 years, Jane Pfister Semmes; and his eight children: Granville Martin Semmes III (Billie), Donna Semmes Roth (Ernst), Gilmore Michael Semmes (Joan), Thomas Jenkins Semmes, George Wingfield Semmes, Michael John Semmes (Yvette), Paul Florenz Semmes (Valerie), and Jane Semmes Litwinowicz (John).

"George" Townsend died Monday, March 26, 2012, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, after a brief illness. He was 86. Mr. Townsend was born on November 9, 1925 in Gamble, Alabama, the son of Southern Railway engineer James Earnest Townsend and schoolteacher Mary Hylence (Jordan) Townsend. A standout lineman at Walker High School, he played football for Arkansas A&M at a time when WWII and the Officer's Training Program made it a powerhouse. He graduated in engineering and began his long Navy career. While attending the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, Mr. Townsend met high school English teacher Betty Ann Topp. In August 1958 they were married in the French Parlor of San Francisco's Palace Hotel. "My life changed suddenly and forever," Mrs. Townsend later said. The couple moved to Long Beach, California, to the first of many temporary homes on both sides of the Pacific. Mr. Townsend's varied and distinguished naval career included combat off the waters of Korea and Vietnam; serving as a military advisor to the armed forces of Taiwan (Republic of China); directing activities related to the Vietnam War in Okinawa, Japan; and serving as one of the last Operations Officers for the Bay Area-based 12th Naval District. He earned numerous military ribbons and awards. In 1973, Commander Townsend retired to South Louisiana to teach high school ROTC and pursue his other life-long athletic interest: golf. Nearly ambidextrous, he would often play with matched sets of left- and right-handed clubs. He became a Shriner; he performed with the Baton Rouge Little Theatre; he was a parishioner at Baton Rouge's Trinity Episcopal Church. Regarding Mr. Townsend's name, or rather the lack thereof: immediately after his birth in a mining company town, his mother was asked if he would be George Earnest, to honor his father, or George Ezekeial, to honor his grandfather. She responded, "Yes." It all seemed fine, and there was much other work to be done. For Mr. Townsend, there was always much to be done. Mr. Townsend is survived by his wife Betty; son Mark Harold Townsend and grandson Benjamin Lockman Townsend Mark both of New Orleans; brother Donald Ray Townsend, of Dora, Alabama; and sister Rosa Mae Townsend Williams of Houston, Texas. He was predeceased by brothers James Ralph Townsend and the Reverend Kenneth R. Townsend, Sr.; and sister Ann Townsend Young.

He entered this world on October 30th, 1926 born to two of the greatest parents he could imagine, Allen Carl and Augusta Cecilia Vix. Elbert graduated from Fortier High School and joined the Merchant Marines based in Pass Christian, MS. It was at this time that he met the love of his life, Georgine(Genie) Henrietta Farragut. They married in 1946 and he immediately embraced her family and loved them like his own. After their marriage, they returned to New Orleans where he began a career at Woodward & Wight, Inc. and worked 35 years. He held many positions and loved being an outside Industrial Salesman for this company. When Woodward & Wight closed, he was called by Doussan & Sons, Inc where he worked full time and then in retirement worked part time until 2009. Hurricane Katrina wiped most of his material possessions but he remained a happy and positive person. Never asking "why me?" but always thankful that he had his "good ole girl" and he would always say - "just put a smile on your face and a song in your heart" and we'll be OK. He had two daughters, Betty Gene Vix Weinberger and Jo Ann Lozes, which he loved and supported in every way possible through every phase of their lives. He felt blessed to have grandchildren, Elbert Jonathan, Allen Joel & Jordan Farragut Weinberger & Luke Jonathan Lozes to love and play with - and play he did. He was always ready for a fun adventure with the grandchildren, trips to Ship Island, canoe trips on Wolf River, trips to Alabama, fishing and crabbing in Bay St. Louis - not to mention watching countless ballgames in which they played. He loved his extended family and friends. If you needed something, he was always there to lend a hand and support you in your time of need. Equally important, he loved to have fun. If there was a party or outing, you could always count on Elbert being in the group and probably the last to leave as he felt an obligation to help clean-up after the party. A true Southern Gentleman with a sense of honor and obligation. When it came to telling jokes, he was a master. Rarely could you tell him a joke that he didn't know. If he didn't know the joke, he knew three others that he would tell you in the same genre. Laughing and making others laugh was a great part of his personality. Elbert lived his life to its fullest and tried to grab all the gusto that was available to him. He did this through his numerous travels around the world, his devotion to his wife, daughters, grandchildren, relatives and friends. He was loved by many and will be missed by all. Funeral services will be held on Saturday, March 17, 2012, at 11:00 a.m. at Trinity Episcopal Church in Pass Christian, where friends may visit one hour prior to the service.

Born in New Orleans and one of five siblings, Debra was always looking and moving forward. She married her husband Michael in 1980 and had a son, Adam, in 1981 and it didn't slow Debby down one bit. An avid runner, she ran five marathons, with her personal best in the Chicago Marathon in 1990. She also won several races for her age group. After her son began school, she returned to the University of New Orleans to receive her BA in Geography, with a minor in Geology, graduating magna cum laude in 1992. She then lent her time to various causes, including the protection and rehabilitation of purple martins and the development of the sanctuary along the Causeway bridge. Still she had energy for gardening, teaching, and managing two households. Yearly trips of a week or two to Maine eventually turned into entire summers until NOLA gave way entirely to Maine in 2005. She was an integral part of two communities and will be missed greatly by friends and family in both. She is survived by her husband Michael and her son Adam. If you wish to contribute in Debra's memory, she asked that donations be made to any of the following charities: Ovations for the Cure (www.ovationsforthecure.org), ARNO (http://www.animalrescueneworleans.org/), SpayMart (http://spaymart.org/). 3/24/2012 Times Picayune **************************************** 002369 VOTH Debra Ann Voth passed away last week at the age of 58.

He was the beloved husband of the late Dorothy Kuhn West and the father of Alvis (Al) West III, Kerry West and the late Frederick (Freddie) West, Sr. and also survived by Camille, Diane and Joy.

Abby was the proud grandfather to Alvis (Al) West IV (Melissa), Frederick West, Jr., Tyler West and Jerry and Michael Butler. He is also the great-grandfather of Anne Vullo, Kameron and Mia West and Mikayla Butler. Abbie was born, raised and lived his entire life in the section of the city known as the Irish Channel. While residing in "The Channel" he was a long time member of the Corner Club Organization. One of the proudest moments in his life was when he was chosen as the Grand Marshall of the Irish Channel Parade in 1983. He was also the Grand Marshall of the Corner Club when they marched in the same parade. For those who knew him he was a happy Irishman with a flowered cane in one hand and a beer in the other marching down the street and kissing all the women. He is now making that final march to be with his family, his friends and his old marching buddies of the past and he will be waiting there for us to follow. So at this Saturday's parade in the Channel, raise your glasses and toast his memory.

She fought a valiant battle with breast cancer; and would encourage anyone facing cancer to seek out alternative treatments which far exceed remission rates to the current cancer treatment methods, primarily being chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Had she known about these alternative methods, she would not have undergone biopsies, the mastectomy, or the radiation therapy which followed. She would have treated this cancer from within, through nutrition, by which many others have achieved remission. Pearl, during her time here on this earth, was an inspiration to all who knew her. A loyal and devoted mother to her children, this devotion and loyalty extended to her many cousins, and friends whom she dearly loved. Pearl was a catholic. Her faith in God carried her through life easily and effortlessly. Always concerned for others, she often set her needs last, taking care of her family and close loved ones first. Pearl had a love for her two children which transcended understanding. This love created a close bond which made it easy to endure the hardest trials life placed in their path. Pearl was born in New Orleans. She attended Marrero Middle School, then Homedale High School. She resided in Harvey, La. until she married. Once married, she set up residence in nearby Marrero, La. where she raised her two children, Marilyn and George. Pearl worked for The Celotex Company for many years before she married. Later, she was employed by the New Orleans Speech and Hearing Center. She also worked for many years at Maison Blanche; later acquired by Dillard's. Her employment encompassed both the Westside location, as well as Clearview. Pearl was preceded in death by her second husband John H. West, her daughter Marilyn G. Sazdoff Harrison, her first husband George J. Sazdoff, and her parents Noah and Ursula Becnel. She is survived by her son, George G Sazdoff, son-In-law, Marshall Harrison, and many cousins and friends.

Eileen had a loving and motherly nature that she shared with her host of cousins, nephews, nieces, great-nephew, and great-nieces.

Wilson was born on December 5th in 1932 to Leroy and Cecil Wilson of Centerville, TX. Those who knew him, called him most affectionately, "Buddy". Buddy's family moved to Madisonville, TX where he attended Madisonville High and was voted "most popular" in his senior class. He went on to study Petroleum Engineering at the University of Texas in Austin where he was an active member of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. Upon graduating from college Buddy served in the Army. After military service, he moved to Louisiana to take a job in the booming oil field industry. There, he met his wife, Joy Bendily while on a blind date with her roommate. They fell deeply in love and married soon after. Buddy and Joy gave birth to a son, Derek Wilson in 1966, and a daughter, Missy Wilson in 1967. He was very active in his children's lives, coaching peewee football, baseball and basketball and encouraging them in whatever endeavors they set upon. When Derek became ill with a rare cancer at 1999, Buddy and Joy tirelessly devoted themselves to their son's journey until he lost his battle with cancer in 2005. Buddy succeeded in business by growing a small oil service company into an international business and by earning the trust and affection of those he worked with. Upon the sale of Parker Industries to WR Grace in 1978, he retired only long enough to turn a hobby of investing into full-time and prosperous endeavor. Buddy delighted in spending time with his family, and his son's dogs, Zoe and Dolly. He loved a good scotch and soda, Elvis Presley and the New Orleans Saints. He possessed a sharp wit, a keen mind, and a gentle spirit. One could not help but be charmed by his bright blue eyes, his texas accent and his indiscriminate kindness. Buddy is survived by his wife, Joy Wilson; his daughter, Missy Wilson and husband P. Chris Bierbrauer from Minneapolis, Minnesota; sister Rita Fanin and niece Diane Spencer from Madisonville, Texas and his beloved dogs Zoe and Dolly. Buddy was preceded in death by his parents, Leroy and Cecil Wilson and his son Derek Wilson. Thanks to all of those who have loved and befriended us through the years. A special thanks to our incredible team of caregivers who helped us navigate this journey and worked tirelessly to watch over "Mr. B": Melissa and Antoinette of Gifted Nurses, the good people of Serenity Hospice, and Doctors Shibu and Amy Varughese, whose care was nothing less than heroic. Lastly, we would be remiss if we did not thank Sylvia Carter for her life long dedication and care for our family through the last 50 years. Honorary pall bearers and beloved friends and family are: Chris Bierbrauer, Nolan Knight, Jimmy Reulet, Sonny "the bird" Burtis, Andrew Noel, Hamm Shaw, Graham Wilson and Bruce Ray, We invite you to celebrate Buddy's life with a Memorial Service to be held at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home in Metarie this Sunday, March the 4th, 2012 at 4:00 p.m. Visitation for family begins at 2:00pm with visitation for friends to begin at 3:00pm.

John was born on Feb. 20, 1945, in New Orleans. His parents were John Joseph Winberry and Mary Marguerite Lambert Winberry. He is survived by his wife, Carolyn "Carol" James Winberry; stepsons, Douglas J. Stanley of Athens, Ga., and Bruce W. Stanley and his wife, Lan, and their son, Paul, all of Dubai, U.A.E; a brother, Michael L. Winberry and his wife, Carey, of Slidell, La.; niece, Yolanda Miller and her husband, Kenny of Slidell; niece, Moneika Whistle-man and her husband, Chuck, of Shenandoah, Va.; great-nieces and great-nephews; great-great-nieces and a great-great-nephew. John graduated in 1963 from Benjamin Franklin High School, where, in addition to excelling academically, he played football and basketball; as a senior, he received Most Valuable Player Award for his basketball prowess. After high school, he attended St. Joseph College in St. Benedict, La. He later went to the University of New Orleans where he graduated in 1967 with a major in history. Concentrating in the fields of geography and anthropology, he earned a Ph.D. degree in 1971 from Louisiana State University. He spent his entire teaching career as a professor of geography at the University of South Carolina from 1971 until 2004. Upon his retirement, he was honored with the title Distinguished Professor Emeritus. Some of his contributions to the University include service as Chairman of the Department of Geography, Director of Graduate Studies for the Department of Geography, Director of Undergraduate Studies for the Department of Geography, Acting Director of the Latin American Studies Program and Associate Dean of the Graduate School. He edited "Southeastern Geographer," the journal of the Southeastern Division, Association of American Geographers, and also served as Treasurer of the Division, which awarded him its Outstanding Service Award in 2001. In 1989, the student honor society, Mortar Board, recognized him with the Excellence in Teaching Award. John's passion was researching and teaching in the broad field of geography, which took him to Mexico, India, England, Ireland and Brazil. His research in the United States concentrated on the South. He co-wrote the college-level text "South Carolina: A Geography," and his 75 published writings reflect a wide range of subjects, including log houses in Mexico, the kudzu vine in the South, the culture of indigo in South Carolina, sea turtle farming in the Cayman Islands, Confederate monuments in courthouse squares -- and even the varieties of South Carolina barbecue. To those who knew him well, John's wry wit was a hallmark of his personality, and people loved him for it. He was funny without trying to be. John's interests were many and various, so if you wish to remember him with a charitable contribution, some appropriate choices would be The Nature Conservancy, South Carolina (P.O. Box 5475, Columbia, S.C. 29250); The John J. Winberry Travel Award (Latin American Studies Program, University of South Carolina, Columbia, S.C. 29208).

Winberry Jr., former Professor of Geography at the University of South Carolina, passed away March 8, 2012, after a lengthy illness. Interment will be in Lake Lawn Metairie Cemetery at a future date. John was born on Feb. 20, 1945, in New Orleans. His parents were John Joseph Winberry and Mary Marguerite Lambert Winberry. He is survived by his wife, Carolyn "Carol" James Winberry; stepsons, Douglas J. Stanley of Athens, Ga., and Bruce W. Stanley and his wife, Lan, and their son, Paul, all of Dubai, U.A.E; a brother, Michael L. Winberry and his wife, Carey, of Slidell, La.; niece, Yolanda Miller and her husband, Kenny of Slidell; niece, Moneika Whistle-man and her husband, Chuck, of Shenandoah, Va.; great-nieces and great-nephews; great-great-nieces and a great-great-nephew. John graduated in 1963 from Benjamin Franklin High School, where, in addition to excelling academically, he played football and basketball; as a senior, he received Most Valuable Player Award for his basketball prowess. After high school, he attended St. Joseph College in St. Benedict, La. He later went to the University of New Orleans where he graduated in 1967 with a major in history. Concentrating in the fields of geography and anthropology, he earned a Ph.D. degree in 1971 from Louisiana State University. He spent his entire teaching career as a professor of geography at the University of South Carolina from 1971 until 2004. Upon his retirement, he was honored with the title Distinguished Professor Emeritus. Some of his contributions to the University include service as Chairman of the Department of Geography, Director of Graduate Studies for the Department of Geography, Director of Undergraduate Studies for the Department of Geography, Acting Director of the Latin American Studies Program and Associate Dean of the Graduate School. He edited "Southeastern Geographer," the journal of the Southeastern Division, Association of American Geographers, and also served as Treasurer of the Division, which awarded him its Outstanding Service Award in 2001. In 1989, the student honor society, Mortar Board, recognized him with the Excellence in Teaching Award. John's passion was researching and teaching in the broad field of geography, which took him to Mexico, India, England, Ireland and Brazil. His research in the United States concentrated on the South. He co-wrote the college-level text "South Carolina: A Geography," and his 75 published writings reflect a wide range of subjects, including log houses in Mexico, the kudzu vine in the South, the culture of indigo in South Carolina, sea turtle farming in the Cayman Islands, Confederate monuments in courthouse squares -- and even the varieties of South Carolina barbecue. To those who knew him well, John's wry wit was a hallmark of his personality, and people loved him for it. He was funny without trying to be. John's interests were many and various, so if you wish to remember him with a charitable contribution, some appropriate choices would be The Nature Conservancy, South Carolina (P.O. Box 5475, Columbia, S.C. 29250); The John J. Winberry Travel Award (Latin American Studies Program, University of South Carolina, Columbia, S.C. 29208).

Burial will take place in Holy Mary Mother of God Cemetery. Dr. Zepernick, a resident of Lafayette, LA, was the son of the late Gustav Zepernick and the former Magdalena Hemmerich both of Germany. A retired Anesthesiologist, Dr. Zepernick was deeply respected by his peers for his contributions to the medical community and was beloved by colleagues, friends, and employees throughout the area for his compassion, his expertise in the field of medicine, his wit, and his friendly nature and unconditional love of people from all walks of life. He grew up in Pennsylvania where he attended Wyomiss-ing Hills primary school, Moravian College (1950), U.S. Naval School, Officer Candidate Training in Newport, Rhode Island, (1952), Naval officer in the Korean War (1952-1954) and Tulane Medical School in New Orleans, LA (1960). He completed medical school residencies at Southern Baptist and Charity Hospital of Louisiana at New Orleans. He was in private practice in New Orleans and was president of numerous anesthesia groups serving Mercy, Jo Ellen Smith, Chalmette, and Meadowcrest Hospitals (1966-2005). Dr. Zepernick was a Diplomat of the American Board of Anesthesiology and a Fellow of the American College of Anesthesiologists. Professional Membership and Societies include the American Society of Anesthesiologists, Southern Society of Anesthesiologists, Southern Medical Association, Louisiana Society of Anesthesi-ologists, the Academy of Anesthesiology, Board of Directors of LAMMICO (1991-2005), and a Volunteer for Hospice of Acadiana as a Physician from 2008-2011.

He also leaves behind eight grandchildren: Trey, Robert, Amelia, Nicholas, Mattie, Kelsey, Marissa and Daniel Zepernick and a host of nieces, nephews and grandnieces and -nephews.

The family would like to thank the doctors, nurses, and social workers at Hospice of Acadiana for the love and compassion shown to our Father during his tenure there as a volunteer physician and then as a patient at Lafayette General Hospital in his final days. We also express our heartfelt gratitude to Drs. Ken McCarron and David Weir for their exemplary care and investigative medical research they exhibited in finding the source of Dr. Zep's illness. We would also like to thank the staff of Physical Therapy South for their care and friendship over the last two years. Without the amazing, faithful priests in our area, our Father would not have been prepared to meet His maker. For this, we would like to thank Fr. Michael Champagne and the many friends and family members praying with us and for us during the illness and impending death of our Dad. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Dr. Zepernick's name to Hospice of Acadiana, 2600 Johnston Street, Ste. 200, Lafayette, LA 70503 Personal condolences may be sent to the family at www.delhommefuneralhome.com.
