BAZZELLE, REINSFORD VINCENT 
	Died: Tue., Jan. 24, 2017

Reinsford Vincent Bazzelle, affectionately known to all as WEHO, passed 
peacefully at his home, at the age of 67, after a grueling battle with lung 
cancer last Tuesday, January 24, 2017.   

Weho was a native of New Orleans, Louisiana.   

He was preceded in death by his parents - the late Genevieve and Chester 
Oliver.  He is survived by three brothers-Danny, Donald, and Walter.  

Weho was a Lieutenant in the United States Army serving during the Vietnam War.  
He served 2 years and earned 8 medals of service, including the Bronze Star 
with Combat Valor, Republic of Vietnam Service, an Army Commendation with 
Combat Valor, National Defense, & Good Conduct.  
He was a brave and loyal soldier as well as a faithful, loving husband, and 
father.  

He is grieved by his beloved Debora of 46 years and two daughters - Shawn 
Taylor (Dennis) 3 grandchildren-Christopher (Boog), Haleigh, and DJ; - Shannon 
Baker (John) 3 grandchildren-Maison, Gabby, and Kanyon.   

Weho had dedicated work ethics which included the laboring of more than 18 
years at American Standard of New Orleans and retired from Thompson Meat 
Packers of Slidell.  
Weho was diagnosed with lung cancer in June 2014 and passed courageously in 
late January.  
Cancer cannot kill friendship.  Proverbs 18:24 says, "A man that hath friends 
must shew himself friendly; and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a 
brother."  It is also said "Don't measure a man by his money but rather by the 
amount of his friends."  
Weho loved hard.  Whether his family, the Lord, or his friends.  
He will be greatly missed by a plethora of friends and especially his 'little 
brother from another mother - Jason'.    

Memorial Services will be officiated by Pastor Paul Ernewein on Thursday, 
February 2, 2017 at 10:30 AM at THE VILLAGE CHURCH in Lacombe, LA.  

His final resting place will be at the Southeast Louisiana Veterans Cemetery on 
Grantham College Dr., in Slidell at 2:00 PM.
