Mr. Solomon was born on September 26, 1921 and passed away surrounded by his

Mr. Solomon was a longtime member of First Baptist Church in Monroe. He worked 
as a salesman for H. Mickel Dry Goods for 36 years, traveling Northeast 
Louisiana, charming his customers with a warm smile and a kind word. He loved 
his work, but above all he loved people. Mr. Solomon enjoyed the outdoors and 
was an avid fisherman and hunter. Every summer he had a wonderful garden and 
every fall he looked forward to working in his yard and feeding his birds. Mr. 
Solomon was a dedicated Saints and LSU fan.

Baptist Church.

Memorials may be made to the First Baptist Church of Monroe, to the Louisiana 
Baptist Children's Home or to the Alzheimer's Association .

The family would like to express their deep appreciation to the nurses, staff 
and aides at the Northeast Louisiana War Veterans Home, especially Carolyn, 
Roger, Tammy, JoAnn, Nicole and the many others for the care of our father 
during his stay there. Also to the staff of Premier Hospice, especially Tina, 
Ella, and Rev. Andy Myrick and the many others who gave unselfishly to Mr.

all.
