On Thursday, Dec. 28, 2006, at 91 years of age, A.W. Montegudo Jr. left
this earth to spend eternity in heaven with our Lord. He was a lifelong
resident of Zachary. He held the distinction of being Zachary's first
full-time police officer. He patrolled the streets and the northern end of
the parish from 1956 until his retirement in 1979. He was also a school bus
driver for the Zachary area schools from 1956 to 1975. Among his hobbies
were rodeoing in his early years, training bloodhounds to search for lost
children and criminals, running deer dogs, listening to his fox dogs run
and raising a garden to share his produce with family and friends. He is
survived by two daughters and sons-in-law, Ann Montegudo and Barry Corkern,
and Monty Montegudo and Larry Perkins, all of Zachary; five grandchildren,
Stacy Kalencki Alonzo and husband Paul, William L. "Dub" Kalencki, Jud
Corkern and wife Kris Guidry, all of Zachary, Dustin Perkins and wife Susan

Perkins; a sister, Mary Elizabeth Montegudo "Issie" Denham of Baton Rouge;
numerous nieces and nephews; and two close family friends, Michele Flores
and Claudette Leake. He is also survived by and will be greatly missed by
his rat terrier, Jack. He was preceded in death by his wife of 50 years,
Emilee Wicker Montegudo; parents, Adolphus Sr. and Mary Emmie Black
Montegudo; two brothers, John S. and Jesse V. Montegudo; three half-
