Dr. Duplantis was preceded in death by his wife of 55 years, Deborah Austin 
Duplantis. He is survived by his sister, Merle Duplantis, of Port Arthur, Texas, 
and his caregiver of many years, Geraldine Jackson. He is also survived by two 
daughters, Suzanne D. Fortier-Hodge (Joe) and Andre' D. Skiba (Todd), of Austin,

granddaughters, Meagan Hodge of Denver, CO and Meredith Hodge.

Dr. Duplantis will be missed for his joie de vivre, his delight in hearing or 
telling a great story, his amazing diagnostic abilities, his sheer joy in all 
things chocolate, his never-ending quest for knowledge and the life-long habit 
of reading a book a day until the very end, and, of course, his deep love and 
affection for family and friends. His "bogus birthday parties," which he 
celebrated shamelessly two-to-three times a year, will not be forgotten. It 
should be noted that the date we celebrate his memory is also the date of his 
87th birthday; we celebrate his wonderful life and his many personal and 
professional accomplishments on this day with great pride. A Funeral Mass will 
be said at 2:00pm on Friday, February 23, 2007 in the chapel at E.J. Fielding 
Funeral Home, 2260 W. 21st Ave., Covington, LA 70433. Visiting hours will begin

Paul Robert (Bob) Sprehe, a good and faithful servant of God, was taken into His 
loving arms on Wednesday, February 7, 2007.

Bob was surrounded by his loved ones at his home. He fought a valiant 18 month 
battle with cancer.

Bob was born on September 8, 1933 in Vandalia, IL and was a 36 year resident of 
Covington, LA.

A graduate of the University of Illinois with a B.S. in petroleum engineering, 
he also held an MBA in finance and economics from Kellogg School of Management 
at Northwestern University and received professional training from the Graduate 
School of Banking of the South at LSU.

He served as a 1st Lieutenant with the US Army. Bob was currently employed as an 
Economist with the Department of Natural Resources in Baton Rouge, LA.

Bob was preceded in death by his parents, Paul and Hazel Sprehe of Centralia, IL 
and Gale and Katie Burnham of Franklin, LA.

He was a loving and dedicated husband of 41 years to Carolyn Sprehe of 
Covington, LA; a devoted and supportive father to Elizabeth Sprehe Klocek of 
Covington, LA and Drs. Michael Robert Sprehe and Didi Mon-Sprehe of Sioux Falls, 
SD; and an adoring Papa to Alexander Paul Klocek of Covington, LA. He is also

Burnham of Apple Valley, CA; and Goddaughter, Jennifer Sprehe Koman of St. 
Louis, MO. He leaves behind many special neighbors, colleagues, friends, and 
family.

Those of us that knew him best will remember him as the kindest, wisest, most 
loving man. Bob was always there for his family and friends, and he believed 
life with his family was Heaven on Earth.

Our fondest memories will be of him playing ball, calling to the birds, reading 
books, and sharing milkshakes with his grandson.

Bob was a great storyteller and was an avid St. Louis Cardinals baseball and LSU 
basketball fan. Bob was actively involved in the church and community, 
especially as his children were growing up.

He is a charter member of St. Timothy United Methodist Church, served on the 
board of the 4th Ward Recreation Association, and was known as Coach Sprehe to 
the many children on his soccer, baseball, and basketball teams.

A truly great man has been taken too soon from this world. Bob was an inventor, 
entrepreneur, coach, teacher, loyal and loving family man and friend. All of our 
love to you, Bob, Dad, Papa, and friend. We will all be together again one day, 
and we know you will be watching over us and protecting us from your place in 
Heaven until that time.

The family would welcome calls and visits from family and friends. The family 
extends its appreciation to all those who have given them support and prayers 
over the last year and a half-friends, family, neighbors, church members, and 
co-workers.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, March 3 at 11:00 am in the St. 
Timothy United Methodist Church Memorial Garden. Memorial donations may be made

Grace Elizabeth Thibodeaux was born at 8:06 a.m. Monday, February 19, 2007, in 
Covington, and passed on to eternal life shortly after 11 a.m. in her father's 
arms.

She was tiny, with dark hair and blue eyes. Outwardly, she looked perfect; 
however, the family had known for many months that little Grace had a rare 
condition known as Potter's Syndrome, which would only allow her to live for a 
few moments.

The prayers of so many for a miracle were answered when Grace proved to be 
strong and courageous, holding onto life for three hours until she had a chance 
to meet and be held by her brothers and sister.

Grace touched many lives before she was even born, and she was enveloped in the 
love of family and friends as she left us.

Grace is survived by her parents, Jonathan and Faith Thibodeaux; her brothers, 
Joseph and Timothy, and her sister, Kaylee, all of Slidell; her grandparents, 
Ron and Robyn Thibodeaux of Covington and Sven and Cindy Markert of Mary Esther, 
Fla., and many aunts, uncles and cousins.

A funeral Mass will be held Saturday at 1 p.m. at E.J. Fielding Funeral Home, 
2280 W. 21st Ave., Covington, with visitation at noon.

Jack B. Harper, founder and CEO of Gulf Industries, Inc., a highway safety 
engineering company, Jack B. Harper Contractor, Inc. and several subsidiary 
entities, died Wednesday, March 14, 2007, at the age of 77.

For over five decades, Jack B. Harper was a pioneer and leader in responding to 
public demand for greater transportation safety by representing and installing 
advanced products that have saved numerous lives and prevented injuries on our 
roadways.

Under Mr. Harper's leadership, Gulf Industries, Inc. has grown into one of the 
largest companies on the Northshore, with a number of offices throughout the 
Gulf South, and is recognized nationally as one of the industry leaders in 
highway safety.

Jack B. Harper began his career with Hurricane Steel Industries in Houston, 
where he was the leading salesman in the United States. He established Hurricane 
Fence Company of New Orleans in the late 50's, Gulf Industries, Inc. in 1963 and 
Jack B. Harper, Contractor in 1970. He and his companies were significant in 
developing highway safety procedures and products in Louisiana and other states.

Mr. Harper was born in 1929 in San Antonio, TX, attended Southern California 
Military Academy, graduated from Central Catholic High School in San Antonio, 
and graduated from the University of Houston where he was Commander of the 
Cullen Rifle Drill Team. At the age of 12, he had his first car and continued 
collecting antique cars throughout his life, with a particular fondness for the 
Ford Thunderbirds. Mr. Harper served his country as a CWO-4 in the United States 
Army Military Intelligence Corps. He was a Fourth Degree Knight in the Knights 
of Columbus and an Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America.

He served on the Board of Directors for Metairie Bank for nearly 30 years and 
was active in the Association of General Contractors (AGC), The Louisiana 
Asphalt Paving Association (LAPA), American Traffic Safety Services Association 
(ATSSA) and various other highway safety organizations. He was also active in 
the Central Catholic High School Alumni.

While Mr. Harper is well known and respected for his successes in the business 
world, those who knew him best say his love for his family meant more to him 
than any professional accolade he received. He was an inspiration to all who 
lived and worked around him and he possessed the kind of charisma that is seldom 
found today. Jack Harper loved the camaraderie of his friends, grandchildren and 
employees, while deer hunting. He owned two ranches in South Texas and one in 
Louisiana where he hunted and spent many nights playing poker, telling stories 
and jokes with his family and friends. Mr. Harper was an unforgettable man of 
character, who touched the lives of everyone he met.

He is preceded in death by a daughter, Alona Harper Hicks and his parents, Otto 
"Jack" and Lois Speer Harper.

He is survived by his wife of more than 55 years, Mary Wade Harper, a daughter, 
Lisa Harper-Cairns, 12 grandchildren, Shannon Hicks, Brandon Hicks, Jason Hicks, 
Jack Ramirez, Luke Ramirez, Hollie Power, Kate Kelley, Blake Cairns, Joel 
Cairns, Virginia Cairns, Madeline Cairns, Lara-Elise Cairns, seven great-
grandchildren, a brother, Richard Harper and four sisters; Barbara Lightfoot, 
Virginia Hoosier, Patricia Gochnour and Mary Jackson and his Gulf Industries, 
Inc. family.

Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend a Mass of Christian

U.S. Veteran Victor Oran Johnson, Jr. passed away Wednesday, April 11, 2007. 

He was born March 28, 1915, in Verona, Mississippi to the late Victor O. and 
Dolly Filgo Johnson. 

Captain Johnson retired from 35 years of service with Delta Airlines, having 
started his career in 1940 as a pilot with Chicago and Southern, which later 
merged to become Delta. At that time there were only 26 pilots flying with the 
airline. During his flying career, Captain Johnson logged some 32,000 hours of 
accident-free flying. As a young man out of high school in north Mississippi, 
Dick Johnson, as he was known, worked as an aircraft mechanic at Southern Air 
Services in Memphis, TN and there began flying lessons, paving his way for his 
successful career in commercial aviation.

During the Second World War, when the military was granted special authority 
over domestic airlines, Captain Johnson flew top military brass, troops, 
supplies and other vital cargo for the Army Air Corps across the United States. 
His flying career was a virtual history of aviation, from single engine, open-
cockpit biplanes to the Boeing 747 "jumbo" jet.

Captain Johnson met his wife, the late Flava Lee (Ruble) Johnson of Piedmont, 
Missouri, while she was working as a stewardess, also at Chicago and Southern 
Airlines. The couple married in 1942 and settled in the Gentilly area of New 
Orleans, where Captain Johnson was based with Delta. The Johnson family moved to 
St. Tammany Parish in 1954, where they remained and raised two children, Victor 
O. Johnson III of Covington, LA and Sally Johnson Fox of Navarre, FL.

Captain Johnson was a member of the Airline Pilots Association and Delta Golden 
Wings. He was an honorary life Patron of Playmakers Theater, having actively 
worked to help establish Playmakers in its very early years. Captain Johnson 
also served as King of the Juno carnival krewe and was a member of the Krewe of 
Olympia. He was also a member of the Theodore Roosevelt Masonic Lodge #475.

Brother of the late William F. Johnson, he is survived by two sisters, Dorothy 
Elizabeth Guenther and Sarah Dale McKee, both of Greenwood, Mississippi and one 
brother Charles Carter Johnson of Mesa, Arizona. One of Captain Johnson's most 
treasured roles was being Paw-Paw to Jeffrey Paul Johnson, Molly Lee Parsons and 
Jason Alan Johnson. Father-in-law to Sondra Meiners Johnson and Allan Keith Fox.

Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend the funeral service at 
5:30 PM on Thursday, April 19, 2007 from the Chapel of E.J. Fielding Funeral 
Home, 2260 West 21st Ave., Covington, LA and visitation on Thursday from 3:30 PM

Matthew E. Klebba went to his creator on Saturday May 26, 2007 at age 44, the 
victim of an ATV accident.

He was the son of Polly and E.J. Klebba who mourn the loss of a loving and much 
beloved son. 

He is survived by four sisters: Theresa M. Brown, Mary Jo Napolitano, Christine 
A. Klebba, Jane C. Maniscalo and two brothers: Paul and Peter Klebba. He is also 
survived by 12 nieces and nephews. 

Matt was cheerful man with a perpetual smile to whom "family" was the keyword of 
his life. He "gave" of himself endlessly on his family's behalf whenever and 
wherever he was needed and did so with love. His family came to depend on his 
consistent availability and his loving smile. Guided by God and his Gaurdian 
Angel, Matt had some early adulthood difficulties that he overcame with great 
effort and determination. 

He was a man of great pride in his chosen work, the construction field, became a 
student of the building trade and an expert in every phase. "Doing the job 
right" was almost a Bible to him and would settle for nothing less than 
perfection. His co-workers knew him as a field leader who would not accept 
anything less than their best effort and perfection in results. 

Matt loved Louisiana and was a passionate hunter and fisherman. As with his 
vocation, Matt was a constant student of fishing and treasured the time he spent 
"wetting a line" with his brothers. He joyfully recounted each of those 
adventures with everyone and cheerfully kept all supplied with the wily speckled 
trout. 

We all will miss the smiles, the hugs and the company of a man who inspired love 
and brought great pride to his family. Truly, a treasure has passed from us.

Betty Holder Guillerman passed away after a long illness on Monday, July 30, 
2007.

Her life was filled with generosity and kindness. 

Quoting from the Sunday edition of the New York Times, June 13, 1948, "Twenty-
one-year old Betty Jane Holder of New Orleans, a former student of the 
University of Alabama, will leave New York tomorrow by air to visit "her" little 
French village of Mouleydier, near Bergerac, destroyed by German troops a 
fortnight after D-Day. 

Since September, 1946, when Miss Holder read Howard Whitman's article, "What 
Happened in Mouleydier" in Readers Digest, she has sent 7,200 pounds of food, 
clothing and other necessities to the village in bulk shipments. Miss Holder 
spotted French ships coming into the port of New Orleans, and was able to get 
her boxes shipped at no charge, direct to Bordeaux." 

In 1987 Betty traveled to Medjugorje, Yugoslavia to learn more about reported 
sightings of the Virgin Mary. The trip profoundly changed her life and she spent 
the rest of her existence in charitable causes relating to her Catholicity. 
Thousands of Miraculous Medals were circulated and hundreds of masses said for 
the sick and needy.

She is survived by her husband, a daughter, Mrs. Robin Hurston of Coquille, 
Oregon, son Scott Guillerman of Covington, LA, six grandchildren and four great-
grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held at St. Joseph Abbey, Saturday, August 4, 2007 at 
2:00 PM with visitation prior to the service. E.J. Fielding Funeral Home Inc., 
2260 W. 21st. Ave., Covington, LA 70433 entrusted with the arrangements.

In lieu of flowers, donations to St. Joseph Seminary College are suggested.

with grace and strength, never complaining, always optimistic, and serving as a 
source of great comfort to others. She inspired her family and friends with her 
upbeat attitude and her unwavering faith. She loved holidays and summers spent 
in Vail with her children, grandchildren, and friends from home.

siblings and their spouses, Fain (Pat) Garb, Tommye Duncan, Carrol (Joe) Peery,

Marguerite Ann Meisler Keyes passed away on Friday, September 21, 2007.

Inspired by her father's example, Margie pursued a career in elementary 
education and pursued it with great passion. After earning a BA in Elementary 
Education from St. Mary's Dominican College, she went on to teach many children 
at St. Clement of Rome, the Academy of the Sacred Heart, River Forest Academy, 
Kehoe-France Northshore, and Mary Queen of Peace. To some she was a nationally 
known Science teacher, to others a loving 2nd Grade teacher. Margie also 
volunteered as a CCD teacher in several parishes and as a PTA Art education 
coordinator at Woodlake Elementary School. She balanced her teaching career 
beautifully with her other great passion - her family.

Margie was the loving wife of George Anthony Keyes. Mother of Michelle Meisler 
Keyes and Heather Meisler Keyes. Daughter of Gayle Hawkins Meisler Griffin and 
the Late J.D. Meisler. Step-Daughter of James L. Griffin. Sister of John D. 
Meisler, Jr. and the late James M. Meisler. Daughter-In-Law of Virgil I. Keyes. 
Sister-In-Law of Cillen E. Meisler and Elizabeth A. Keyes. Aunt of J. Daniel 
Meisler, III and Alexandra R. Meisler. Granddaughter of the Late James L. and 
Marguerite Perrin Hawkins and Wilhelm M. and Blanche Bourgeois Meisler. 
Godmother of Matthew P. Hahn.

Margie also taught by example - most notably how to live with Cancer with a 
positive attitude. She refused to let the disease define her. She marveled at 
the many kind people that gave her extraordinary physical and spiritual support 
throughout this challenge. These people included friends and family; students, 
parents, teachers and administrators at Kehoe-France and Mary Queen of Peace; 
and a host of people at Ochsner.

Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend the Funeral Mass 
Tuesday, Sept 25, 2007 at 11:30 AM from Mary Queen of Peace Catholic Church, 
1501 W. Causeway App., Mandeville, LA 70471. A wake at E.J. Fielding Funeral,

values he learned from Scouting. He felt that this was the start of much of the 
successful directions in his life.

Former Covington resident, Marilyn Vetter Murray, joined her husband, Donald 
Patrick Murray, in heaven on November 28^th , 2007 after a courageous fight with 
pulmonary fibrosis.

Born on July 21, 1930 in St. Louis, MO, Marilyn was the eldest child of Eleanor 
and Erwin F. Vetter, St. Louis District Attorney. She graduated from Ladue High 
school and attended the University of Missouri where she met her future husband 
and love of her life.

She and Don moved to Covington in 1963 to raise their family in the beautiful 
Tchefunta Country Club Estates in which they were both active community members. 
Together they enjoyed traveling and spending time with their family. Marilyn was 
an avid gardener, and also enjoyed golf and tennis, but was most happy when she 
could "fuss" over her children and grandchildren.

Marilyn was known for her loyalty, strong will and determined support of causes 
and principles important to her, without regard for popular sentiment or 
convention. She never forgot the birthday or anniversary of anyone she 
considered a friend. Those who truly understood her distinctive approach to life 
will miss her unique and enthusiastic personality. Marilyn was special in so 
many ways.

Marilyn is survived by her three daughters, Donnalynn Dolan, Carolynn Horby, and 
Gwendolynn Kastner all of Dallas, Texas. She is also survived by her eight 
grandchildren: Brittany Horby, Casey Horby, Hunter Horby, Murray Kastner, Tyler
