years until his retirement in 2006. He and his wife, Lova, spent many wonderful 
years fishing and gardening at their home, Ellerslie Plantation in Bayou Sale. 
Huey was a member of the Bethel Pentecostal Church in Patterson. He was a very 
kind and generous person who loved helping people and spending time with his 
family.

He is survived by his wife, Lova; three daughters, Lori Peltier Jenkins and her 
husband, Adrian, of Denham Springs; Denise Peltier Gautreau and her husband, 
Ernie, of Walker; and Melissa Peltier of Baton Rouge; one son, Barry Peltier 
and his wife, Carolyn, of Centerville; 10 grandchildren; 11 great 
grandchildren; one sister, Miriam P. Firmin of Centerville; and two brothers,
