Larry Gene Mendoza, a native of Bayou Chene and a longtime resident of 
Franklin, passed away at 10:36 AM on Friday, August 1, 2014, just thirteen days 
short of his 70th birthday, at Franklin Foundation Hospital following a lengthy 
battle with cancer. 

A memorial service will be held by the family at a later date.

Larry was a man who loved life. He was a hard worker, spending the majority of 
his working years as a boat captain, which fueled his love for life on the 
water. He was also an active person away from work, enjoying fishing and 
crawfishing with his son Chad, working in his shop on all kinds of carpentry 
projects, and spending time with his family. He will be deeply missed.

Survivors include his wife of 49 years, Ruby Billiot Mendoza; two sons, Joe 
Mendoza and his wife Christine, and Chad Mendoza and his wife Amanda; three 
grandchildren, Jasmine Mendoza, Alexa Mendoza, and JauniŽ Mendoza; five 
siblings, Raymond Mendoza, Jr., Marshall Mendoza, Cary Mendoza, Jeanette 
Forester, and Rita Binion; two brothers-in-law, Larry and Lee Billiot; three 
sisters-in-law, Delores Billiot, Dale Gauthier, and Sheila Baudoin; as well as 
numerous nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Raymond Matthew Mendoza, Sr. and Ruby 
Allen Mendoza; one brother, Milton Mendoza; one sister, Janice LeBlanc; 
parents-in-law, Horace Billiot, Sr. and Eula Mae Sauce Billiot; and one 
brother-in-law, Horace Billiot, Jr.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Ibert's Mortuary, Inc., 1007 Main Street, 
Franklin, LA
