Mike was formerly married to Patricia Fajkowski Bollman, mother of his oldest three children. Mike was 52 years old. He was a graduate of Central Michigan University, Tulane Graduate School and Tulane Law School. He also attended Kansai University of Foreign Studies in Osaka, Japan. After graduating from law school, Mike worked for the Orleans Parish District Attorney's Office. During his 15 years at the District Attorney's Office, Mike was an assistant district attorney assigned to the trials division. He was later appointed as Deputy Chief of Trials, Chief of the Violent Offender Strike Force and ultimately Chief of Trials. He was the longest running Chief of Trials under Harry Connick, holding the position from 1994 until 2003. During his tenure as Chief of Trials, violent crime dropped in New Orleans more sharply in that time frame than anywhere else in the history of the United States. Mike was lead counsel in thousands of cases, and tried nearly 200 jury trials in Orleans Parish. Being an Assistant District Attorney, and particularly Chief of Trials, was simply in his blood. He loved the job, and he loved supervising and working with his attorneys. And he was wonderful at it. Mike shaped the minds and careers of hundreds of young assistant DA's, and his legacy will live on for decades. He received numerous awards from Victims and Citizens Against Crime and was named Top Trial Attorney and Assistant District Attorney of the year. Mike was also an adjunct professor in the Tulane Trial Advocacy program for 10 years. At time of his all too early demise, he was an associate attorney for the law firm of Bienvenu, Foster, Ryan, and O'Bannon, as well as a trial attorney for the criminal division of the Louisiana Attorney General's Office. Prior to becoming an attorney and to put himself through school, Mike worked as a farmer, a truck driver, a bouncer, a bartender, an oil field roustabout, a pipefitter, a bookstore clerk and an English language teacher. He was also an avid hunter and loved to hunt in the Michigan woods near his childhood home. Mike was absolutely adored by his children, his step-daughter, and his wife. He was an amazing man, a devoted son to his beautiful mother, a character if there ever was one, and gone far too soon. We loved him so much. Until we meet again, my love, may the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back, may the sun shine soft upon your fields, and (as this good Irishman likes his favorite prayer to end) may you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead!

Born in Ithaca, New York to Nora Lippi and Herbert Davis on May 7, 1926. George married Barbara Hill Colladay on July 1, 1950. He is survived by his wife, only child Leslie Anne Davis and sister Nancy Davis Pratt of Portland , OR. Dr. Davis received his undergraduate degree from Princeton University and his PhD in neurophysiology from Yale University where he was mentored by Dr. John Fulton and met Barbara. He moved to New Orleans to join the faculty of the Physiology Department at the LSU Medical School in 1951. His research at LSU centered on the understanding of the neural basis of locomotor hyperactivity and various problems of peripheral nerve function. An equally important effort for him was assisting in the improvement in the medical teaching programs, from a pedagogical viewpoint and a technological basis. In 1966 there had been no significant change in the medical curriculum since the founding of the school. Chancellor Bill Frye asked Dean John Finerty to see what could be done to improve the situation. Dr. Finerty appointed Dr. Davis chairman of a group to make recommendations in the curriculum. The group helped the faculty understand the problems and possible solutions. They had great support from Drs. Frye and Finerty. After several weeks the group has a revised curriculum to propose and it was adopted by the faculty almost unanimously. The same approach produced a modernized grading system the next year. The new curriculum included first-year Neuroscience, including anatomy, physiology and related clinical specialties. As director of this course, Dr. Davis enlisted faculty members from all neurological disciplines to form teaching teams. This was the start of integrative medical education. For many years all residents in Neurology and Neurosurgery spent one summer semester in intensive study of neurophysiology. The Medical School had long enjoyed many ties with the Republic of Costa Rica. In the late 1950s, Costa Rica asked for help in starting a medical school. Some Costa Rican prospective faculty were brought to New Orleans for special training while the new building was erected on the campus in San Jose. Dr. Frye then designated Dr. Davis as "Chief of Party", he moved to Costa Rica for two years (1961- 63) and assisted both the new faculty and many short-term visitors from LSU. Medical education also needed improvements in physical facilities and technical support. In the 1960s Dr. Jack Strong was charged with long-range planning for the LSU Medical Center. Dr. Strong asked Dr. Davis to chair the subcommittee on building requirements. The main accomplishment of this group was the design and completion of the Medical Education Building. Among the other applications of technology to medical education was the use of television. In 1953, following a couple of demonstrations of equipment, Dean Frye provided money for a TV camera and two TV sets. These were used to show various physiological demonstrations, sending pictures and narration from the laboratory to the first-year classroom. In 1968, the Division of Learning Resources was formed, combining sections of Medical Illustration, Photography, Television and Classroom services. He was named the initial Coordinator until his retirement in 1985. After retiring Dr. Davis coordinated the renovation of three homes in the uptown area. He was an active board member with Bayou Dachshund Club of New Orleans. He was very active in conformation, field trial and everything involving his standard, smooth dachshunds. He loved his dog show trips especially New York to attend the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show and Reliant Series of Dog Shows in Houston. Funeral services will be private.

A rosary will be prayed Friday at 6:30 PM at Pellerin Funeral Home. Mr. Doerle, affectionally known as "Mr. Paul", or "Pee Paw" to his grandchildren, was a native of Beaumont, Texas, although he grew up mostly in New Iberia, Louisiana. He graduated from St. Peter's College in 1943, and enlisted in the United States Army during World War II. He was stationed in Okinawa and returned from his tour of duty to marry his beloved wife, Gertrude Dugas in 1946. He joined his father, Paul Peter Doerle, in the family wholesale produce distribution business, working alongside his brother, Bob, for many years before founding his own food wholesale business in 1950. Paul A. Doerle Wholesale, Inc. started out as a two-man operation selling produce from the back of a pick-up truck. It was housed in what was once a cow barn. But, over the years, Mr. Doerle grew the business into a multi-million dollar distributor of meats, canned goods, produce, paper, chemicals, and janitorial supplies that repeatedly garnered national recognition. The company currently operates out of four facilities and employs over 400 people. Corporate headquarters are located in Broussard, LA, with satellite facilities in Shreveport, LA, Port Fourchon, LA and Pasadena, Texas. The latter two locations service the Energy and Marine segments from Corpus Christi Texas to Mobile Alabama, while Broussard and Shreveport supply restaurants, casinos, nursing homes and hospitals, convenience stores, schools, prisons and hotels. Doerle Food Services is most recently ranked No. 8 in sales volume in the Acadiana's Top 50 Privately-Held Businesses. Mr. Doerle was the recipient of many awards and accolades throughout his 60 years within the foodservice industry. He served as a Board of Director for 10 years with NIFDA, (National Institutional Food Distributor Assoc.) and his company was recognized nationally three different times as "Distributor of the Year". In 2005, he was recognized and awarded the "Pioneer Award" in Las Vegas, bestowed upon him by UNIPRO, an international foodservice trade organization of which he was a member. He also served for many years as a Board of Director for People's National Bank, which later purchased by New Iberia National Bank and is now known as Regions Bank. Mr. Doerle was a true entrepreneur and visionary. In addition to growing Doerle Food Services, he created several other companies throughout his career. He started Gulf Coast Catering Company in 1971, an offshore catering company that employed over 300 cooks and galley hands. He also created Doerle's Quarterboats, Inc., which leased "floating hotels" to drilling and marine construction companies that needed to house and feed their crews in isolated Gulf Coastal areas. To provide internal support services, he formed Doerle's Mechanics, Inc. which maintained the various companies' fleet of cars and trucks. More recently, he created Bayou Oaks Catering, a special events caterer for weddings, club meetings and parties, etc. Although he had an illustrious business career, he was also active in his community, serving for years as a member of the Cajun Kiwanis Club, and as its past President. He was also very active with the St. Vincent DePaul organization, devoting countless hours to providing food, clothing and general assistance to the needy. Throughout his life he was a humanitarian and philanthropic. He "gave back" quietly, supporting Disch-DeClouet Social Service Center and other charitable organizations with substantial financial contributions throughout the years. On a personal level, he often said that his greatest joy was being with his family. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather. He loved to travel, and throughout the years arranged numerous trips to spend with his wife and adult children. He loved to dine out at the finest restaurants, which was a favorite past-time of his. He loved good music, and was a beautiful, elegant dancer, which all the women in his family thoroughly enjoyed. He also loved to duck hunt, which he did well into his 70's. Perhaps his greatest passion was creating beautiful flower gardens and landscaping for his home, changed out seasonally, much to the enjoyment of his neighbors. Throughout his life, his nature was to be a "builder", and he was happiest when there was a construction project of some kind going on at one of his businesses or home. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him. The family wishes to particularly thank his doctor, Dr. Jan Nugent, for her unwavering devotion to him throughout his illness, which allowed him to remain at home during his final months with his family by his side.

He was commissioned ensign from the Tulane Naval ROTC class of 1943, and served in World War Two aboard the light cruiser USS Columbia, CL56, in the Pacific Theater, as Lieutenant JG.

James was born January 17, 1916 in Bay St. Louis, MS to the late Hattie (Delcuze) Hobbs/Bermond and James Thomas Hobbs. Preceded in death by his parents, his step-father Rene Bermond, his brothers Rene, Harold, Shelton and Eugene Bermond and his wife of 54 years Ann (McKinney) Hobbs. A year or so after Ann's death, he renewed a connection with Ann's best friend from WWII days, Dorothy Chauvin and they enjoyed a loving relationship for 14 years until she passed away. He is survived by his two sisters, Margaret (Bermond) Hover, Roberta (Bermond) Shepard, by his son James, Jr. (Carole Tonigan), by his loving former daughter-in-law Wendy (Mayhew) Hobbs and by two grandchildren and several great grandchildren. As a boy and a young man, James devoted himself to helping support a growing family as well as living out some adventures; working briefly as a truck driver, working on the railroad, working on the Havana-New Orleans Sea-Train and riding a motorcycle from the Gulf Coast to Los Angeles to find work in the aircraft industry. At the outbreak of WWII, he joined the US Coast Guard and was assigned to a Cutter in charge of boarding and inspecting foreign ships traveling on the Mississippi River to and through New Orleans. It was during this 2 year assignment that he met and married Ann, just prior to his transfer to the USCG Academy in New London, CT. While there, he became a machinist and eventually supervised the machine shop until the end of the war and his military discharge. He then returned to New Orleans where he began a 30+ year career with Sears Roebuck and eventually retired as a manager of the regional distribution warehouse. After living in Gentilly for several years, he and Ann bought property in what was then Little Farms. When not at Sears, James spent considerable time and effort growing numerous crops which benefited the family and many of the neighbors. Besides providing fresh produce to the neighborhood, he could be counted on to repair and sometimes fabricate various items for friends in the area. Additionally, he always found time to take James Jr., fishing and into the swamps to harvest cypress knees for his wood working projects. Among the many hobbies he adopted, wood carving was the one about which he was most passionate. His hand-carved plaques of various scenes adorn the walls of homes and businesses far and wide. Two years after Dorothy's death, he agreed to move to a Tucson senior facility in order to be closer to his son and Wendy. In fairly short order, he adapted to this new environment and was enjoying his new home until his unexpected death. Two of his carvings are now prominently displayed in one of the public rooms of the facility. James was a devoted husband and father and lived an exemplary life. He will be missed by family, friends, and acquaintances who knew him to be a loving, kind, generous soul.

Molly Reily was born in Winston-Salem, North Carolina on June 19, 1930 to Wesley Luther Ferrell and Jane Ruffin Ferrell. She was a graduate of St. Catherine's School in Richmond and attended Hollins College before moving to New Orleans in 1951. A lifetime of community service in her adopted hometown began in 1953 when she joined the Junior League of New Orleans. She later served as a member of League's Board and in 1981 won its Sustainer Award (her mother-in-law, Mrs. James W. Reily, Sr., won the first such award in 1958) in recognition of her volunteer work in the community. For many years she served as a fundraiser and member of the Board of Trustees of the United Way for the Greater New Orleans Area as well as a member of the Vestry of Trinity Episcopal Church and the Board of Trustees of Metairie Park Country Day School. Together with her friend Marjorie Moran she raised the first funds required to establish the St. Thomas Community Health Center. In recent years she worked as a volunteer at Project Lazarus (where she won its Guardian Angel Award in 2001) and for the Loaves and Fishes program at Trinity Church, and as a member of the Board of Directors of The NOCCA Institute. An active golfer for almost fifty years, Molly joined the U.S. Senior Women's Golf Association after turning 50 and also served as its President. For two decades she served as an advocate for mental health, both locally and nationally. In addition to years of hands-on work with the mentally disabled, she served as President of the Boards of the Mental Health Association of Greater New Orleans and of the Louisiana Association of Mental Health, and as a member of the Board of Directors of the National Mental Health Association (now Mental Health America). In her crusade for better treatment for the mentally ill she played an important role in getting the State of Louisiana to reform treatment at the East Louisiana State Mental Hospital after an expose by the Times-Picayune of inhumane practices there. She found a new community role when, as a young widow, she purchased a house in the French Quarter, where she would entertain literally thousands of visitors and friends until her own death. This house and everything that happened in it reflected her simple elegance, generous spirit, and joie de vivre. Molly Reily is survived by her five children, Molly Tullis Yoder (Joseph) and their children Ruffin Howard Chevalau (Rob), Cassady Yoder, and Mahon Yoder; Eli Watson Tullis, Jr. (Taylor) and their children Elizabeth Tullis and Eli W. Tullis, III; Garner Hugh Tullis, II (Mary) and their children, Gretchen Tullis Cannon (Kyle), Molly Tullis, Marilee Tullis, Jane Tullis, and Rachael Tullis; Wesley Luther Ferrell Tullis (Sandi) and their children, Sarah Brewster Tullis Larsen (Stephen), Anna Tullis, Wesley L.F. Tullis, Jr.; Mary Tullis, Isaac Tullis, and Daniel Tullis; Stephen Rourke Reily (Emily Bingham) and their children, Cason Reily, Henrietta Reily and James Barry Bingham Reily, and 6 treasured great-grandchildren. She is also survived by three stepsons whom she treated as her own, Timothy Sean Reily and his children Katy Reily Roubion (Dennis), Kelly Reily, and Kristie Reily; Jonathan Dicks Reily and his children, Winston Reily and Crispin Reily Tullis (Cason); Patrick Manning Reily (Dale) and his children, Michael Reily (Heather Thiessen) and Gavin Reily (Darlene); and 9 treasured step-great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her sister, Jane Ferrell Clay, and three nieces. She was predeceased by her beloved husband of 26 years, James Weaks Reily, Jr.; her stepson, Michael Meredith Reily, and her step-grandson, James W. (Jimbo) Reily, II. For many years her daily life was both supported and enriched by Marta Ramos, Ivory Wilson and Diana Drummond. She would join her family in thanking Ora Joseph, Sherrise Lewis, and Allene McCann of Guardian Angels Hospice for their loving care for her in the last months; and to several chefs who fed Molly as their friend: John Besh; Karen Lowry; and Jim Conte and Matthew Guidry. Molly Reily fed those around her and loved those who nourish others; she ministered to strangers and loved those who console the needy; she felt for the underdog and loved those who lift them up. As a result, she connected deeply with both ministers and waiters, with both children and mayors, with AIDs patients, artists, and the mentally disabled, as equals. Molly was memorable for her beauty and for her hospitality, but mostly for the warmth of her outstretched arms, for her gentle and generous smile, and for her genuine delight in the perpetual wonder of other lives. She gave more than she received. Funeral services will be held at 12 noon on Friday, June 29, at Trinity Episcopal Church, 1329 Jackson Avenue, with visitation at 11 A.M. at the church. Burial will be private. Molly requested that any memorial gifts be sent to Trinity Episcopal Church, 1329 Jackson Avenue, New Orleans 70130.

She was the daughter of Albert Gregory Baltazor and Elise Lowe Baltazor. Her parents, brothers, Wilmer J. and Albert A. Baltazor and her loving sister-in-law, Albert's wife Lucille (Cortez) and childhood friend Helen Whatley Hensley preceded her in death. Dorothy graduated from New Orleans' McMain High School in the 1938. From a young girl, she helped her mother in the family business. Dorothy loved her city of New Orleans and gave much to her community. As a daughter of a Mason and Shriner, when of age, she became a Rainbow Girl and worked at many service projects. She devoted her life to family and the family businesses: Baltazor Fabrics and Laces and Baltazor Inc. When she suffered a heart attack in the late 80s, Dorothy slowly reduced her work in the businesses, concentrating on children and grandchildren and eventually retired. She had been instrumental in building Baltazor Fabrics into a location where the city's designers, modistes, brides, debutants, graduates, Mardi Gras Courts and Krewes, and all creative sewers flocked. First on Gladiolus Street in Gentilly, and then to the store so many more in the city remember: on Franklin Ave, also in Gentilly. In 1972, she guided the family in the building of its shopping center, Lakeside Vieux Carre', in Metairie where Baltazor Fabrics was located for over 30 years. Always looking to offer new ideas for her clientele, Dorothy offered classes in sewing, hat making, as well as French handsewing and the art of beading lace and taught at many venues throughout the South. She was very creative and always loved sharing her skills and knowledge. As one in her field recently wrote, "She worked with intelligence, creativity, and professionalism, all with a wonderful spirit." She was a founding member of the Smocking Arts Guild of America and also the founder of the Greater New Orleans Smocking Arts Guild. She brought the famous Reed Pleater to the New Orleans area through Baltazor Fabrics. The story of her progress has been told in the hundreds of advertisements and featured articles in The Times Picayune, The Dixie Roto and many local and national magazines. She was a charter member of The Fat City Businessmen's Association and served as the secretary. This organization mainly consisted of bar owners; she proudly said she represented the daytime merchants in the area. Wanting to know all she could about the leasing of the family's shopping center, Dorothy became a licensed realtor. She loved carnival season and waiting on all the Mardi Gras Krewes and their designers, sharing the various fabrics, satins, sequins, pearls and other wonders that make Mardi Gras enormously fun. She was a member of the Louisiana Extension Service, the Food Service Executive Association, the Krewe of Pandora, and The Kiwanis Club ladies auxiliary. Many will remember her helping her parents host the large Kiwanis Club Spaghetti Dinners in the backyard of their home on St. Bernard Avenue. Dorothy stayed in touch with her friends and fellow sewers through a sewing club called the Silhouettes. Dorothy was raised in Christ Church Cathedral when residing in uptown New Orleans. When the family moved to Gentilly, she became a founding member of The Church of The Holy Comforter and later a founding member of Christ Anglican Catholic Church. Raised in the Episcopal Church, she later enjoyed Bible Study with the ladies of the First Baptist Church of New Orleans. She is survived by Ernest Guy Walden, daughters Donna Walden Bergeron (Stanley Comer), Debra Walden Julian (Carmen Paul), and Gregorie Ern Walden (Louis Dedon), as well as grandchildren Henri Guy Bergeron (Renee), Michelle Bergeron Blakely, John Joseph Julian (Shelly) , Vashti Rhea Hardouin , Zachary Walden Hardouin and great-grandchildren Garland Bergeron, Sabra Julian, Gino Julian, Dominick Julian, Noel Blakely, and Stephanie Blakely, as well as nieces and nephews Elise Marie Baltazor, Mitzi Baltazor Melancon (Gillis), Erin Baltazor Delacroix (Scott), their children: Scott Jr., Angelle and Gregory. She will be greatly missed by her family and community. We wish to thank the many caring people at Amedisys Home Hospice, especially Leslie Dunn RN, who lovingly guided us from the beginning.

Married for 55 years to architect Albert J. Wolf Jr., (1914-2004), Catherine was a legendary person who worked in small and large ways for civil rights, for gardens in the city, and for bringing different age groups together at the table. Ribby Ferguson of Longue Vue Gardens remembered Catherine especially for her laugh and for her enthusiasm well into her eighties for working right alongside twenty and thirty year-olds in the gardens there. In 1996, the House and Garden named Catherine Volunteer of the Year for her work on a registry of every plant on the grounds. She was also active in the League of Women Voters and the New Orleans Botanical Garden in City Park. Catherine was born in New Orleans in 1917, to Emile Numa Cornay and Carmelite Schneider Cornay. She attended Eleanor McMain High School, where she graduated at sixteen. She later attended and received degrees from Newcomb College and the Tulane University School of Social Work. She worked for many years at the Department of Welfare and later joined the administration of the Tulane School of Social Work. During World War II, she was a volunteer driver for the Red Cross in New Orleans. Catherine was an indefatigable worker, both in her activities on behalf of clients and Tulane graduate students. After nine decades in New Orleans, and in large part in realization of what hurricanes and flooding could bring to the elderly in the city, she moved in 2007 to a retirement community outside of Denver, where she quickly spread her New Orleans hospitality among new friends. She is survived by her daughters Deborah C. Wolf of Denver and Wendy M. Wolf of New York City, her son-in- law Hugh Van Dusen, and grandson Andrew, as well as a loving family of nieces, nephews, step-grandchildren and step-great- grandchildren. The family has asked that contributions in her memory be sent to the New Orleans Botanical Garden Foundation.
