Jack Berry, 53, an audio engineer who worked with many New Orleans musicians, and traveled in Africa with the Olympia Brass Band, died Monday of heart failure at Wesley Medical Center in Hattiesburg, MS, where he had been living for several years. Jack was immersed in the New Orleans music business for many years as a studio engineer, producer and sound mixer in post-production for a who's who of local artists. He did engineering or recording for Deacon John, among many others. His production credits include albums by the Neville Brothers, Fats Domino, Lillian Boutté, Doug Kershaw, R.L.

Berry Sr. Jack studied at Holy Name of Jesus, St. Paul in Covington, Eleonore McMain. He attended Loyola and Delgado, but his love of music and fascination with sound technology became a professional pursuit before he was 20. After earning a certificate at the Music Recording and Audio Production School in Chillicothe, Ohio, he began working as a sound engineer. He was a producer on the 1982 Neville Brothers' album "Nevillization II: Live at Tipitina's. In 1984 he worked as a concert sound engineer at the Louisiana World Exposition.

He also worked with Domino on a Popeyes Famous Fried Chicken TV commercial, produced by his brother Lamar. In the 1990s Jack recorded emerging groups at Secret Studio on a secluded Carrollton street, so named because it had no commercial sign. "Jack helped build the stage at Jimmy's and was involved with the sound production and creative acoustic work at the club," recalls Jimmy Anselmo, former owner of the music club in Carrollton. "A lot of bands asked for Jack to work the sound board because it came so naturally to him. He was one of the best."

Jack accompanied the Olympia as audio engineer on a 1988 concert tour of West Africa under auspices of the U.S. Department of State.

Tony was born on April 16, 1915 in Bayou Goula, LA. He was preceded in death by his parents, Eva and Phillip Blanchard, his brothers, Felix, Lawrence and Daniel, and sister, Ethel. He is survived by his beautiful wife of nearly 70 years, Thelma Lambert Blanchard and four dedicated children, Tony Blanchard (Kay), Barbara McClelland, Debbie Scheaffer (Frank), and Kyle Blanchard. He is also survived by his nine adoring grandchildren, and eleven great grandchildren who forever will remember their Paw-Paw. In Heaven he has been reunited with his son Billy. Thelma and Tony moved to River Ridge, LA in 1958. For 46 years they raised their family there, as he became known to the neighbors as "the Mayor of Sharla Drive". Tony was a deacon of Riverside Baptist Church from 1998 - 2004. He loved people, and looked to serve everyone he met. Tony spent his entire career with Dixie Carriers as a brilliant self- taught engineer. Even today he is recognized as a cornerstone of the company. A dedicated leader, he spent countless hours on barges and in engine rooms making sure the job was done right. He could fix anything, and he was still fixing things right up until he went home. He gave his life to his God, his family, and his work. He was our hero. We see him in so many things around us, and miss him terribly. We are confident that today his body has been restored and he's celebrating in Heaven with his Savior, and probably looking for something to fix!

Mrs. Dodenhoff was born, raised and educated in New Orleans. She is a graduate of the Academy of the Sacred Heart and Newcomb College where she earned a BS in Biology and was a member of Pi Beta Phi Sorority. During her college years she participated in Carnival festivities as the Queen of the Krewes of Olympians, Nereus and Mystery. She was a maid in the courts of The Elves of Oberon, Mithras, Harlequins and a junior maid in Mystic. During her husband's career in the military which took them to many different bases from California to New Jersey and tours of duty in Germany and France, New Orleans was always home. Upon her husband's retirement from the military, the Dodenhoff family returned to New Orleans. Mrs. Dodenhoff spent the remainder of her life in her home in the Carrollton area. Mrs. Dodenhoff was the oldest daughter of the Ernest Carrere family and as a young military wife returned to New Orleans for the duration of World War II where she ran the household of her recently widowed father and cared for her four younger siblings that were still at home. As the oldest daughter she was the sounding rod and counselor to her younger siblings. She retained that status throughout the years and was devoted to her siblings, their spouses and children. Even in her senior years her younger siblings would call on her for advice, a shoulder to lean on or nurse them during an illness. She loved and admired her dozens of nieces and nephews and enjoyed being with them and their families as often as possible. Throughout her life she shared her time working for various charities including Red Cross, Cenacle Retreat House and Little Sisters of the Poor. She was generous to a fault and shared what she had with friends and distant relatives that were less fortunate than she was. The family would like to thank all the wonderful nurses and caretakers that have assisted in caring for Mrs. Dodenhoff during the last few years including: her doctors and nurses at Ochsner, those from Dependable Home Care and Canon Hospice.

While at Newcomb she was a member of the Newcomb dance club and Gamma Delta, a campus organization for Lutheran fellowship. In her senior year at Newcomb she was voted President of the Tulane and Newcomb math club. The 1947 Tulane Jambalaya yearbook photograph shows her laughing charmingly while surrounded by admiring male members who were elected to other offices in the club.

She was an accomplished pianist. When she concluded school, she went to the West Coast to work as a chemist. A few months thereafter she returned to Louisiana to marry her husband.

He was 84. Doc, as he was known to all, was a gifted healer, who practiced medicine his own way - slowly and thoroughly. He knew his patients, their families, and their medical histories well, and went far beyond the physical aspects of medicine, to care for his patients in a way that is virtually unheard of today. From his small office on Gould Street in St. Francisville, he dispensed medicine and counsel to multiple generations of young and old. Unlike most medical practices today, he did not have scheduled appointments, but saw people in the order they arrived, taking as long as necessary to ensure that each one got the attention he or she deserved. He often said that his greatest diagnostic tool was his ability to listen to his patients. He was a holistic practitioner, focusing on the well-being of the whole person, long before that term became fashionable. Always a gentleman, he treated everyone with respect and dignity regardless of their financial status, ethnicity or social standing. He never let the inability to pay stand in the way of complete, quality care, and routinely treated many people at no charge including clergy, high school sports teams, and others. Often, he would decide to treat a patient at no charge, and rather than refuse payment, he would simply not deposit the check. After he retired, his family found a stack of many of these checks in his desk drawer. He was always cheerful and ready to tell a joke or a story. As a member of the First Baptist Church for many years, he lived his faith consistently, and enjoyed singing in the choir although with no formal musical training, and assisting the church in whatever capacity was needed. He was an avid runner and could often be seen running along Highway 61, or on the school track. Eventually he had to stop running on the highway because so many people stopped and asked him if he needed a ride. Doc joked that he was always assured of coming in first or second in any race because there was only one other person in his age category. In 1996, he was honored to be one of the runners who carried the Olympic torch when it passed through the area. He kept his torch until his death, and proudly showed it to everyone. He finally retired from his medical practice in 2006, and as his health and Barbara's began to decline, the townspeople for whom he had cared returned the favor, enabling him and his wife to remain in the community as long as possible. Eventually, as Alzheimer's took its toll, he moved to an assisted living facility in Sugar Land, Texas, so he could be near family. Doc was born in New Orleans, on May 24, 1928, the son of Dr. Harley Nathan Gould and Dr. Mary Raymond Gould. His father was Professor Emeritus and head of the biology department at Sophie Newcomb College in New Orleans. His mother was a physician and anesthesiologist at Mercy Hospital, at a time when few women were in the medical field. After his parents divorced, his mother married Dr. Philip Neibergall, another physician, and the family moved to St. Francisville. He graduated from Metairie Park Country Day School in Metairie, Louisiana, in 1946, and attended the University of Illinois from 1946 to 1950, receiving his Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry with a minor in Humanities in 1950. He graduated from Tulane Medical School in New Orleans in 1954, and performed post-graduate studies at Harvard University School of Medicine. On Christmas Eve 1952, he married the former Barbara Baird, daughter of Hal and Goldie Lou Baird, and they had five children, all sons. After serving two years as a Senior Assistant Surgeon in the United States Coast Guard, he returned to St. Francisville in 1957 to practice medicine with his stepfather, Dr. Niebergall. When Dr. Niebergall retired in 1963, Doc became the only practicing physician in West Feliciana Parish for about eight years. Doc, along with Dr. Niebergall, worked for many years to create a hospital for the parish, and he was instrumental in raising funds to build West Feliciana Parish Hospital which opened in 1970 and still serves the parish today. For many years he served as its Chief of Staff and, at various times, every other medical position. For several years, he also served as a staff physician at the Louisiana War Vets Home in Jackson. He was coroner for West Feliciana Parish for many years, and was chosen as Citizen of the Year in 1997 by the West Feliciana Civic Association. In 2004, he was given the Lifetime Achievement award by the Louisiana State Rural Medical Association. He was preceded in death by his parents; a sister, Mary Louise Gould; and a grandson, Benjamin Barrett Gould. He is survived by his wife, Barbara Baird Gould; his five sons, Alfred R. "Ray" Gould Jr., Phillips Brooks Gould, Harley Nathan Gould II, Hal William Gould and David Wallace Gould. He is also survived by eleven grandchildren, Jennifer Louise Gould Thomas, Melissa Susan Gould Walkup, Chancellor Daniel Gould, Anita Colleen Gould, Samantha Kristin Gould Prest, Madison Alexandra Gould, Connor David Gould, Olivia Karlyn Gould, Bradley Nicholas Gould, Hunter Brooks Gould, and Lauren Elizabeth Gould; and one great-grandson. A celebration of his life will be held on Saturday, September 22, 2012, at 11:00 a.m. at the First Baptist Church of St. Francisville.

Mintz was born October 26, 1931 in New Orleans, LA and died September 15, 2012 in Monroe, LA at the age of 80.There have been many adjectives used to describe Saul Mintz, but his essence can be summed up in the Yiddish word "Mensch", which literally translates as "Human Being". Simply, a mensch is a person who is upstanding, worthy and honorable. Saul represented all of these qualities and many more. An architect by training, Saul loved to create. He used his skills to design and build things that brought him joy and that he thought would make the world a better place for others. He constructed structures of brick and mortar, but he found it most fulfilling when using his time, energy and creative mind to build bridges between people and ideas to enhance the development of community, organizations and family. He created with purpose and his aim was "build to last". Those he touched along the way often were changed-- remodeled, stronger and better for having known and been involved with him. Saul spoke with awe about his parents. His father, who in 1920 at the age of 26 immigrated to New Orleans from Russia before his untimely death at the age of 52, founded Hurwitz-Mintz Furniture Co. His mother, the grounding force of the family, also immigrated to New Orleans from Russia in 1921 at the age of 17. Growing up with his three elder siblings in New Orleans, Saul learned the importance of family and the value of life-long friendships. At a young age Saul recognized his good fortune to have been raised and educated in this land of magnificent opportunity. From his parents' example he learned that rewards would come through hard work combined with thoughtful planning and a little good luck. Saul also knew that it was his responsibility to give back to his community, to help make the world a better place and to contribute what he could to assure that this country would continue to be a land of opportunity for others. Saul graduated from Isidore Newman School in New Orleans and then entered the Tulane School of Architecture. After graduation, he married his beloved college sweetheart, Jean Strauss of Monroe. He served as a Second Lieutenant in the US Air Force then returned to New Orleans to begin work as an architect. In 1955 Saul was asked by his father-in-law, Clifford Strauss, to join his business, F. Strauss & Son, Inc. -- a wholesale distributor of grocery products and alcoholic beverages. He and his family relocated to Monroe where he eventually became the company's Chairman and CEO. During Saul's business career he developed a number of properties in Monroe and the surrounding area. In 1979 Saul co-founded Sunbelt Manufacturing, Inc, a manufacturer of plastic products that is now a division of Berry Plastics. He was also proud to serve for many years as a Director of Central Bank and subsequently First Commerce Corp, New Orleans. Saul immediately fell in love with Monroe for its beauty, warm people and quality of life and quickly became involved in numerous civic organizations and endeavors. Among these, he served as Chairman of Monroe Chamber of Commerce; Carolyn Rose Rehabilitation Center; Sunbelt Manufacturing, Inc. and St Francis Medical Center. He also served as President of: The United Way of Northeast Louisiana; ULM Booster Club; and ULM Foundation. He served as a Board Member of: LSU Health Sciences-S; Tulane President's Council; Tulane School of Architecture; LA Committee for Humanities; American Red Cross; and Twin Cities YMCA. Saul was also instrumental in the establishment and growth of the Carolyn Rose Strauss Senior Center-- home to the Ouachita Council on Aging, The Food Bank of Northeast Louisiana, the Strauss Theatre Center and many other organizations and projects. Saul's Jewish faith was an important component in his life. As a member and past Vice President of Temple B'Nai Israel, Saul worked with others to establish its endowment fund. He and Jean together served on the founding boards of the Jewish Endowment Foundation of New Orleans, The Institute of Southern Jewish Life, and the Southern Institute for Education and Research, which is dedicated to improving ethnic relations through tolerance education and communications training. In more recent years Saul joined the board of directors of the Jewish Outreach Institute based in New York and, together with Jean, he was instrumental in the funding and building of Tulane Hillel's Goldie and Morris Mintz Center for Jewish Life. Saul never approached his undertakings with the expectation or desire for accolades. Yet over the years he was the recipient of numerous honors including: the Monroe Chamber's Rambin-Silverstein "Citizen of the Year" Award; the United Way's Alexis de Tocqueville Society Award; the Beta Gamma Sigma Honor Society; the Jewish Endowment Foundation's Tzedakah Award; the Tulane Emeritus Club's Outstanding Alumnus Award; and the ADL Torch of Liberty Award. Saul is preceded in death by his parents, Goldie Goldblum Mintz and Morris Mintz, his brother Ellis Mintz, his sister Bella Mintz Goldberg and his beloved in-laws, Roselyn and Clifford Strauss. He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Jean Strauss Mintz; brother Albert Mintz and wife Linda of New Orleans; sisters-in-law Elaine Levy Mintz of New Orleans; Peggy Strauss Greenbaum and husband Jim Greenbaum of Rancho Mirage, CA; children, Morris Mintz and wife Melinda, Carolyn Kaplan and husband Jay of Houston, TX and Sally Mann and husband Anthony of Greenwich, CT; and his grandchildren: Mark Mintz and wife Jennifer, Clifford and Sarah Mintz, Glynn, Layne and Jack Kaplan, Alexandra, Isabelle, Strauss and Georgia Mann; great granddaughter Lillian Mintz; and a score of adored nieces and nephews. Visitation was held at Kilpatrick Funeral Home of Monroe and a memorial service honoring Saul's life was held on Thursday, September 20 at Temple B'nai Israel in Monroe. In lieu of flowers, the family requested donations to Temple B'Nai Israel Endowment Fund, Ouachita Council on Aging, Food Bank of Northeast LA, Strauss Theater Center, Tulane Hillel or a charity of your choice . Of all Saul's creations, the one of which he was most proud was his family. As he learned from his parents, he taught his own children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews by example. This is his legacy and he created it with purpose, and he "built it to last".

An indefatigable reader, Blake's thirst for knowledge remained unquenchable until the end. This self educated, quintessential, "man of letters" began writing early on and published his first technical manuscript in 1993, "Altitude Related Places".

Born March 12, 1917 in New Orleans, LA., Mary lived an extraordinary life of difficulty and prosperity from the Great Depression through to the 21st Century, living most of that time at her home at 422 Joseph Street in New Orleans as a loving Mother and dedicated wife. At age 95 she now rejoins her husband Charles O. Stickling, who worked for Pan Am Oil Co. and passed away in 1965. She was also preceded in death by her parents William and Leona Riddle and her two brothers William and Max Riddle, sister Laura Riddle Reugger, and niece, Elizabeth Reugger Montgomery. Mary was a pillar of strength and stamina to her family during her 48 years as a widow. She went to work at Charity Hospital in New Orleans, LA. after her husband's death and retired in 1982 when she moved to Pass Christian, MS. to be near her sister, Laura Riddle Reugger. They attended Mass every Sunday at St. Paul Catholic Church where Mary was a member of the Altar Society, the VFW and loved visiting the sick in the hospital. She received so much joy working in her beautiful flower gardens. Many people drove down her street to pause and enjoy seeing her flowers, particularly her spectacular rose gardens. At age 88, Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005 and took Mary's home and lifelong possessions, including her wedding photos with her beloved husband, Charles. With little more than the clothes on her back, she relocated to Port Vincent, La. to live with her son William and wife, Judy until she could "get back on her feet", as she put it. She began each day by getting up at 6am, and, after saying her prayers, she was driving herself to the Senior Center in Gonzales, LA. where she enjoyed making new friends and loved playing Bingo. In addition, she began making plans to build a new home beside son, William, and in about 1-1/2 yrs, she moved into that new home. She insisted on being independent, especially driving herself. In 2008, her eldest son, Charles, retired and came home to be with her and care for her as she was beginning to show weakness. She had even voluntarily given up driving. Mary raised a loving family and is survived by her three sons: Charles, William and wife Judy, Michael and wife Melody. She is also survived by William's 3 children, Bryan Stickling and wife Sharon and their 2 sons Joshua and Jacob; Daughter Shannon Stickling Richard and husband Terry and their 2 daughters Kayleigh and Madison; Melissa Stickling Craven and husband Michael and their son Gage. Son Michael's 4 children, Brent and Kyle Stickling; Daughters Victoria, and Veronica Stickling Dorrell and husband Greg, their 3 children Jacob, Kaysie and Joshua.

The family will receive visitors at 1:00 p.m. with music at 2:00 p.m. by big band leader Jay Zainey and musicians from his orchestra at the Jefferson Orleans. Al was born on May 11, 1926 and departed this life September 5, 2012. He was preceded in death by his parents Gottfried and May Kingsmill Wehmeier, his first wife Beverly Frederick Wehmeier, his second wife Audrey Armbruster Wehmeier, his sons Keith David Wehmeier and Noel Usannaz, and his granddaughter Rachel Paige Waltman. Left to cherish his memory are his daughters and their husbands: Marcia and Gene Cassanova of Bossier City, Linda and Larry Waltman of Harahan, and Connie and David DeGruy of Mobile. Other survivors include four granddaughters and their families: Reagan and Sloan Folmer, Adrienne Waltman, Cathy and Bunky Kateon, and Toni Usannaz. He is survived by two grandsons and their families: David and Tiffany DeGruy and Brian and Wendy Usannaz. He was also a proud great-grandfather. Al was a member of the Andrew Jackson Masonic Lodge #428 for 44 years. He was an avid hunter and fisherman and belonged to the Greater New Orleans Tarpon Club. Al served his country in the U. S. Navy in WWII from 1944 to 1946, and again from 1950 to 1951 in the Korean War. Upon discharge from the Navy, he returned to New Orleans and established Wehmeier's Belt Shop in 1951. Wehmeier's specialized in leather goods, especially Louisiana alligator products. Al and his wife Audrey eventually moved their business from Canal Street to Toulouse Street in the French Quarter. He made instant friends of strangers and enjoyed helping his customers, however, his real passion was working with his hands. He took pride in the challenge of repairs and making vintage handbags look new. Nothing delighted him more than for an old customer to come into the store and show him a belt or a wallet that he had sold them years before. Al suffered from heart disease and vascular dementia. The dementia gradually took away his ability to perform all of the activities he enjoyed, including his ability to work and, more importantly, to dance. The Toulouse Street store closed when he reluctantly retired in 2009. The business he loved will continue to operate through his daughter, Linda Waltman, in The Shops at Canal Place, in his memory and under the principles of excellence he established. Al loved ballroom dancing and was prominently featured in the 2006 documentary "A Place to Dance" about the Jefferson Orleans dance hall in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina. The big band music of Pat Barberot and Jay Zainey reminded him of his days in the Navy dancing at USO clubs. At the end of his life he was confined to a wheelchair and could barely communicate his thoughts, but he was always able to say, "I wish I could go dancing." He will always be remembered for his skill and knowledge of exotic leathers, but there was nothing he loved better than dancing at the Jefferson Orleans. Al's children would like to express sincere thanks to the care-givers and dedicated staff at Sunrise Assisted Living and River Region Hospice. Your compassionate care of our father will always be remembered. To view and sign the family guestbook visit www.lakelawnmetairie.com.

He majored in music at Mississippi College and the University of Southern Mississippi, and music remained a great passion throughout his life. He was a member of the local National Guard band when it was called into service during the Korean War, and later as a member of the 313th Army Band in Ft. Rucker, Alabama until discharged. While stationed there, he met his wife, the former Colleen Price. They celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary in June.

In his free time and in retirement he was an avid bass fisherman, do-it-yourselfer, and gardener, and enjoyed woodworking and playing softball. His true avocation was serving and helping others and making their lives better. He was a selfless man; a devout Christian. His servant heart, easy wit, marvelous sense of humor and positive outlook earned him friends among most everyone he met, even when those meetings were only brief encounters. He rarely complained, even through the debilitating effects of the Parkinson's disease that eventually claimed his life on September 5. He now lives forever with the Savior who he so dearly loved and faithfully served.
