AYRES, WILLIAM LOUIS
William (Bill) Louis Ayres, a native of New Orleans and a resident of 
Ponchatoula, La., passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 8, 2012, 
surrounded by his loving family and friends. He was 80 years young.
Survived by his beloved wife, Adrienne Rodriguez Ayres. Devoted father of 
Denise Bacon (Dave), Gwen Accardo (Chris), Eileen Diaz (Arthur), and Yvette 
Dellucky (Jerry). He adored his grandchildren, Jonathan and Lauren Bacon, 
Stephanie and Brett Accardo, Amy, Alex, and Dana Diaz, and Brandon (Katie) 
and Ryan Dellucky, who affectionately call him "Jake". He is also survived 
by his sister, Doris A. Methe, and many other relatives and friends.  He 
was preceded in death by his parents, Jacob and Gladys Doyle Ayres and 
his much missed brother, John "Jackie" Ayres.  Bill retired from The 
Times-Picayune after 35 years of service. After his retirement he worked 
many odd jobs including 6 years at St. Joseph Catholic School in 
Ponchatoula. He will be remembered for his love of music; however, his 
greatest love was time spent with his extended family.  Relatives and 
friends of the family are invited to attend a Mass of Christian burial at

Thursday, July 12, 2012, at 11 a.m. Visitation will be from 9-11 a.m. at
