A jokester, Huey was one who always loved to laugh and inspired laughter in 
others. He enjoyed many other hobbies, such as cooking, fishing, and especially 
watching the LSU Tigers and the Saints play. The Saints Super Bowl Championship 
was a source of great joy. 
His family describe their father as a family man, a nurturer, and obviously a 
patient man.

The family would like to express their gratitude to his caretakers, Quandie and

son-in-law, Chris or taking such loving care of him.
