Charles A. Lodrigue Sr., 87, a lifelong resident of Morgan City passed away 
Wednesday, June 4,2014 at his resident.

Charles was born on November 27, 1927 in Morgan City the son of Adolph Lodrigue 
and Ernestine Billiot Lodrigue.

Charles enjoyed everything with the outdoors especially hunting, fishing and 
trapping. He would bundle up his baby daughter and tuck her in the bow of the 
boat to go up the bayou. His sons earliest memory is hunting rabbits with their 
daddy. He was a boat captain for many years and loved telling jokes just to see 
people smile and laugh. He told exciting stories of adventure to his 
grandchildren about the daddy in the tree with a knife ready to plunge into the 
bayou on the big gator attacking his child. He was both a momma and a daddy to 
his grandchildren cooking, cleaning and clothing them. He was the kind of man 
that endured 3 hours of Barney in bed with a sick grandson and many showings of 
Gone With the Wind courting his bride to be.

When a homeless family came to his and his wife's laundromat, he left to go 
home and cook a meal for them. That was the kind of man he was.

Just before he passed he said," I am going to heaven and if you want to come 
you better pack your bag." We know all who knew him are packed and looking 
forward to that day.

He will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his wife Cecelia Lombes 
Lodrigue; two sons, Charles A. Lodrigue Jr. of Morgan City, and Joey Lodrigue 
Sr. and wife Rosalinda of Port Barre; one daughter, Deborah Pittman and husband 
Lloyd Pittman Jr. of Bayou Vista; four grandsons, Scott Chaisson, Charles A. 
Lodrigue III, Joey Lodrigue Jr. and Dustin Lodrigue; five great grandchildren, 
Drew Lodrigue, Madison Lodrigue, Adam Chassion, Grace Chassion and Logan 
Lodrigue.

Charles was preceded in death by his parents Adolph Lodrigue and Ernestine 
Billoit Lodrigue; one grandson, Kevin Chaisson, three brothers, and three 
sisters.

The family would like to give a special thanks to Dr. Blereau, Bayou Health 
Care and Hospice for all the kind care they provided.
