000053	BARNES ANNE WILSHIRE MEEK BARNES 5/26/1927 - 12/23/2009 Longtime St. Tammany Parish
resident and community leader ANNE WILSHIRE MEEK BARNES, known to many simply as Miss Anne,
passed away early on Wednesday, 23 December 2009 while visiting her children in California
over Christmas. She died in her sleep of natural causes. She was 82 years old. Miss Anne was
born in Oroville California on 26 May 1927, the third of five children born to Bert B. Meek
and Laura Hanlon Meek; she and her siblings are third generation native Californians. As a
youngster Miss Anne was an accomplished horsewoman, learning to ride from her father who was
an ardent polo player. She loved to sing, doing so without inhibition, frequently
accompanying herself on the ukulele or the piano. She attended The Hamlin School in San
Francisco, lived for a time on the Alisal Ranch in the Santa Ynez Valley near Santa Barbara
and in Carmel, and graduated from the University of California at Berkeley with a BA in
Social Welfare. Upon graduation Miss Anne moved to New York City to pursue graduate studies
in Fashion and Merchandising where she supported herself with jobs in fashion retail. This
career track led, somehow, to employment with the fledgling Central Intelligence Agency in
Langley Virginia. Whilst maintaining cover jobs first in fashion and later as an employee of
the Department of Agriculture, Miss Anne's responsibility was collating intelligence and
developing sources in the newly communist mainland China. It was during this time that she
met and captured the affections of a dashing young Captain of paratroops, M. A. Barnes, Jr.
The two were married in October of 1955, whereupon she resigned her position with the CIA,
and embarked upon the life of an army wife. Over the course of the next twenty-two years they
lived in California, Mississippi, Georgia, Germany, Korea, Philadelphia, Alabama, Houston,
and Chicago, finally settling once and for all in Covington. During that time she undertook
and maintained a policy of treating every locale in which she found herself as her home,
involving herself in the community in whatever way she could, whether by teaching locals to
speak English, volunteering at hospitals (on post and off), raising money and caring for
Korean orphans, providing support for those army families that lost loved ones in the call of
duty, proving practical advice for newly minted army wives, and (much to the dismay of her
children) organizing trash pickup efforts when she was not busy elsewhere. She also found
time to undertake one or two tasks for her former employers at the CIA. All of this while
raising two sons and periodically sending her husband into harm's way. She and M.A. moved to
Covington in 1977 and never looked back. Since adopting St. Tammany as her home she became
involved in an astonishing number of volunteer and community activities: she served on the
St. Tammany Tourist and Convention Commission for the better part of two decades, she was a
longtime organizer of the annual Chef's Soiree, she was an early organizer of the
Madisonville Wooden Boat Festival and an early proponent of the Maritime Museum. Miss Anne
was involved in The United Way (for which she served as Co-Chair of the Metro area), Easter
Seals, The Louisiana Breast Cancer Task Force, CASA, Habitat for Humanity, the Youth Services
Bureau, the Greater Covington Clean-up Committee, The Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation,
The Children's Advocacy Center, the St. Tammany Art Association, and countless other
community organizations. Miss Anne's skills as a fundraiser and in public relations and
willingness to work in any capacity needed were very much in demand over the years. She never
turned down a request for help. In 1998 she was honored as An Angel Among Us by the Board of
Hospice of St. Tammany for her work in St. Tammany. Miss Anne was a longtime member of the
Republican Party. She served as Regent of the Louisiana Federation of Republican Women for
eight years as well as serving on the Republican Party's State Central Committee. Miss Anne
was past President, First Vice-President, Second Vice-President and Recording Secretary of
the North Shore Republican Women's Club; she was a member of the Mandeville Republican
Women's Club; member and Treasurer of the Parish Executive Committee; and Delegate to many
Louisiana State Conventions. In 2004 she was a delegate to the Republican Party's National
Convention in NYC. The number of political campaigns for which she worked is impossible to
calculate. For Miss Anne, volunteering for her community was a full time profession, and she
approached it thus. Widowed in 1994, she never remarried. Miss Anne is survived by her son
Mat and his wife Heidi; by her son Russell and his wife Cathryn; by her grandchildren
Katelyn, Sierra, Zephyr, and Rio; by her siblings Jacklyn Meek Potter and John Thomas Meek;
and by thirteen nieces and nephews. A memorial will be held at Benedict's Plantation in
Mandeville at 10:00 am on 30 January 2010. 1/13/2010

000158	BURNSTEIN Myron "Mike" Burnstein, age 87, passed away on Saturday, January 16, 2010.
He is survived by his wife of 64 years, Muriel Strauss Burnstein; his sons: Victor (wife,
Deborah) and Daniel (wife, Jo), and a grandson Andy (by Victor and Deborah), all of whom live
in the Seattle, WA area. He is the son of the late Maurice Burnstein and the late Esther
Pailet Burnstein. He and Muriel were the best of friends, often enjoying simply holding
hands, quietly reading, or watching a good movie together. Myron is remembered by all who
knew him as a kind, warm-hearted and generous person, a source of wisdom, understanding, and
calm. People loved his wonderful laugh and sense of humor. The kindness and compassion that
Myron felt for his family, friends, and neighbors was also evident in his concern for people
struggling throughout our country, as evidenced in his longtime support for progressive
politics from the New Deal onward. Myron lived in the New Orleans area from his birth until
moving to Seattle a few months prior to Hurricane Katrina. He received a bachelor's degree
from Tulane University and a master's degree in business administration from Harvard
University. At the outbreak of World War II, eager to serve his country, Myron joined the
U.S. Navy, in which he served as a lieutenant in communications units on several Pacific
islands. After the war, Myron enlarged the small chain of shoe stores founded by his father
to about 30 stores, mostly in Louisiana and Mississippi. After selling the business to the
Payless Shoe chain, he then managed about 200 of their stores for many years. He was known
throughout the nation's shoe business community and among his employees as a person of utmost
honesty and integrity. Myron appreciated the multi-leveled culture and heritage of New
Orleans, tracing his family's residence in the city back to his grandparents' immigration
from Eastern Europe in the 1880s. He would love to tell stories about growing up in the city,
near Jackson Avenue and Carondelet, including memories of the vibrant Jewish community of
that neighborhood. Late in life, he battled pancreatic cancer, which he took on with the same
courage with which he served in the Navy, surviving a remarkable six and a half years after
the diagnosis. Funeral Services were held in Seattle on January 19, 2010. Instead of flowers,
contributions in Myron's memory may be made to the Jewish Family Service, 3330 W. Esplanade
Ave, Ste 600, Metairie, LA 70002. 1/24/2010

Knopf in 1975. That book has become a classic, still in print today. They also wrote "The New
Orleans Restaurant Guide: a Critical Guide to Eating Out" as well as "The Pleasures of
Seafood". Following the death of his wife Rima in 1998, he wrote "Travels with Rima: a
Memoir". Richard Collin traveled widely and loved museums, opera, modern British composers, -
-- and considered himself a "baseball and football intellectual". He is survived by first

a brother lodge, Charles F. Buck # 260 of Urania, LA, and Pastor Johnnie Phillips of Olla
First Baptist Church, LA. Capt. Collins, 83, of Olla, LA, was born on December 30, 1925, in
Ashtabula, Ohio and passed from this life on December 25, 2009, in Winn Parish Medical Center
of Winnfield, LA. He retired in Picayune, MS & raised his children in Slidell, LA. He was a
Knights Templar of Commandery # 38, 32nd degree York Rite of the Gulfport York Rite Bodies
Chapter # 121, Council # 52, Master Mason and member of Louisiana Blue Lodge # 102. Capt.
Collins was a veteran having served during WWII as a Merchant Mariner with the U.S. Navy and
U.S. Army Transport Service in convoy escort through the North Atlantic to Europe. He served
as Master/Captain of the SS Green Valley, the largest ocean going commercial Lash ship of its
time. In the 1960's he a was Marine Superintendent with Blue Water Drilling, which engineered
the first floating drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico, the Blue Water #1. His long maritime
career was also highlighted as Master/Captain of a reflagged Kuwaiti supertanker during the
Iran-Iraq war in 1988 under the Reagan/H.W. Bush administration. Capt. Collins loved his
wife, children, grandchild, family friends, German food, foreign cultures, its people, and
the open ocean. He was married in Bremerhaven, Germany to his late wife of 50 years, Ursel
Sonja Agnes Stahr Collins. He was a lifelong student of the fine arts, music, and opera. He
was valedictorian of his high school class, spoke five languages, possessed tremendous
general knowledge in all subjects & would beat you at Trivial Pursuit! His powerful verbal
skills gave him a wonderful dry wit which often resulted in a satirical humorous quote from a
Shakespearian play or a Latin phrase being reapplied to the issues of the day, a published
poet, & an artist in any medium. Painting a wall mural or hanging his custom-made wallpaper
was all the norm. He loved oil painting and was often amidst of a building project on his
property….eclectic and exceptionally talented; he could do anything! He was at times a quiet
family member with ideas when you required them. He was kind, gentle, tenderhearted,
selfless, intelligent, patient, generous, loving, a peacemaker, and sentimental. During his
life he traveled the world many times, he saw the worlds richest people to the worlds poorest
people, and experienced some of life's greatest dangers from extreme weather and naval
combat. His memorial service will be a commemoration of a life well lived! His love and
leadership will be sorely missed by his friends and family members. He is preceded in death
by his loving lifelong wife Ursel Sonja Agnes Stahr Collins; daughter Clis Ileen Collins;
brothers, Thomas J. Collins, Richard N. Collins, and Merle C. Collins. He will be dearly
missed by his survivors: his son, Cli Collins of Cape Coral, FL; daughters, Cindy Collins

000251	COX Melva Cartwright Cox, a native of Amite, Louisiana and a longtime resident of
Covington, died peacefully at her home on January 9, 2010 at the age of 87. "Her children
arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praised her" Melva graduated from Amite
High School in 1938 as valedictorian. She attended University of Mississippi in Oxford where
she earned an undergraduate degree in business in 1942. While at Ole Miss she met Bob Cox of
Greenville, Mississippi. Soon after December 7, 1941, with The War on their minds, and his
enlistment calling, they eloped. Their best man was his best friend and an Ole Miss
colleague, Adolph Wettlin Treppendahl from Woodville, MS. Melva was a gracious lady, a
devoted mother, a loyal, spirited and forgiving wife; and in her later years, having earned a
Master's Degree in Social Work from LSU in 1979, developed into a compassionate counselor.
Her stories of 'the days of the dog kennel', teaching at Fifth Ward and the escapades at the
Riverboat Tchefuncte could entertain one for hours. An avid gardener, she was also a co-
founder of Covington's Town and Country Garden Club. Melva will be remembered for her easy
laughter, sympathetic ears, selfless generosity, the love and devotion she had for her
children and grandchildren and the surprising yet fearless independence which guided her
through life. Melva was preceded in death by her husband, Robert Elmore Cox; one son, Sidney
Cartwright Cox and her granddaughter, Laura McCulloch Treppendahl. She is survived by one
son, Robert E. Cox of Covington; her daughter and son-in-law, Coco and David Treppendahl of
St. Francisville, LA; and their children: Katherine, Rob and Sophie Treppendahl. The family
would like to offer special and heartfelt thanks to her loving caregiver, Maria McMullen.

000281	DAWKINS Charles was born in Montrose, MS, the son of Burbon and Ethel Dawkins. Charles
was the eldest child followed by Shelton, Lucille, Modane and Bill. He attended Louin, MS
High School and graduated in 1940. After high school, he joined the Army Air Corps and was
stationed in Albuquerque, NM. As soon as possible he sent for his childhood sweetheart, Vonda
Catherine Holder. They were wed on December 3, 1942. Their marriage was blessed with four
children: Ronald Wayne, Linda Catherine, Deborah Ellen and Janice Diane. Charles is survived
by Vonda, his wife of sixty-seven years, as well as by his four children, his grandchildren
Stewart and Christopher Dawkins, Matthew and Daniel Holliday, Jennifer Lowe, Jessica Hatten
and Laura and Brian Graves, as well as several great grandchildren. All mourn his passing. He
provided for all the financial needs of his large family, thereby freeing his wife to be a
wonderful homemaker. Out of necessity, he learned to repair almost everything around the
home. He led by example, and kept his family focused on not only completing whatever task was
at hand, but in doing an exemplary job. He also taught his children to value the feelings of
others and to be polite, considerate and frugal. Charles' loving care for his children did
not end when they reached 18, 21 or even 60. He continually offered his services; whether it
was repairing an old car, installing a new door in a house, or granting a loan when his
children were purchasing their highly anticipated first home. The generous offer of his time
and talents extended to all who came in contact with him, as well as his entire extended
family. He valued education and many a dinner would begin with a discussion of what the
children had learned in school that day. Remarkably, all his children attended college and
graduated with degrees in their chosen field. All this was accomplished with only one family
income.Charles was blessed with a colorful and salty sense of humor. The family delighted in
recording some of his more unique expressions and the humor comforted them during difficult
times. He will be missed. Relatives and friends are invited to attend the funeral. Services
will be celebrated in the Chapel at GARDEN OF MEMORIES FUNERAL HOME, 4900 Airline Dr.,
Metairie on Monday, January 18, 2010 at 11:00 AM. Visitation will begin at 9:00 AM until

000602	KAHABKA Cdr (Ret) Clarence Thomas Kahabka, Jr., age 74, entered into eternal rest on
Thursday, January 21, 2010. Beloved husband of 48 years to Bernice Brown Kahabka. Son of the
late Harriet and Clarence Kahabka, Sr. Father of the late Tommy Kahabka. Brother of Wanda
Helmer, Barbara Cooke, Gail Kahabka and James Kahabka. Also survived by a host of nieces and
nephews. Born in Pepin, Wisconsin; completed a 22 year tour of duty and retired in Algiers
after his tour of duty. Tom decided in his senior year as an engineering student at
University of Wisconsin to enter the Navy NAVCAD Program and become a Naval Aviator. Upon
receiving his wings at Pensacola, FL, his first orders took him to the Naval Air Station,
Brunswick, Maine, where he flew P2V Neptune Patrol Bombers, used in anti-submarine warfare
and as U.S. coastal protection. He also found his life-long wife, Bunny as a legal secretary,
born in Canada. Other duty stations included Jacksonville, FL, Norfolk, Va, Milton, FL, South
Weymouth, Mass and New Orleans, LA. His ability as a professional pilot earned him the
position of Plane Commander while still a Lieutenant (j.g.) and the respect of fellow naval
aviators up and down the East Coast. After many deployments, including aircraft carrier
landings, one of his "perks" was eventually flying old Neptune aircraft to their "graveyard"
as somewhat risky operation, considering possible broken or missing aircraft parts, which he
handled well due to his understanding of the plane. After about 22 years of service,
including world-wide deployments, he retired while stationed in CNAVRES, New Orleans and
decided to return to academia. He chose UNO where he received his degree of Bachelor of
Science in Management. He also made the Dean's List. As sometimes happens, fate dealt him and
wife, Bunny, the crushing blow of the loss of their son, Tommy. Tommy was 26 years old, and
their only child. Following years included active participation in The Compassionate Friends,
a support group for bereaved parents and siblings, and which resulted in a conference in New
Orleans in 1991, drawing world-wide attendance at the New Orleans Hilton. Tom's lawn was one
of his prides after retirement and travel was important along with ancestral research. He
will be greatly missed by many, but lived a good life. Relatives and friends are invited to
attend Graveside Services at Westlawn Memorial Park Cemetery, 1225 Whitney Avenue, Gretna, LA
on Wednesday, January 27, 2010 at 11AM. MOTHE FUNERAL HOME, 1300 Vallette Street, Algiers, LA

endearing smile, great sense of humor and selfless compassion toward others drew all to close
friendship and implicit trust. His children remember him as the perfect combination of tender
and tough love, each at the appropriate time; as the ultimate human example of commitment to
family, church, community and country, and as the epitome of faithfulness to righteousness,
duty and personal responsibility. Bill is survived by his wife, Mary Jane, 4 children, 12

000804	NOLAN Dr. A.W. Nolan, an orthodontist who treated thousands of New Orleans area high
school students over a 40-year career, died surrounded by family at his home on Sunday. He
was 89. Reared in the 1920s and 1930s in a boisterous Irish Catholic family in Algiers Point,
Al Nolan reflected his neighborhood origins all his life. He was deeply faithful to family,
as well as strong-willed, gregarious and funny. He also nourished a deep personal faith. A
man of forceful convictions, whether political, social or sports-related, he was nonetheless
quietly generous, with a special affection for children and the elderly. From the 1940s to
the 1980s, Dr. Nolan practiced orthodontics in New Orleans and Algiers. But friends
understood his heart was rooted at a lake house in Lakeshore, Miss. Destroyed three times by
hurricanes and rebuilt each time - twice by Dr. Nolan himself - the Nolan lake house for five
decades was a place of open and continuing hospitality for a large circle of friends and
family. Nearer home, Dr. Nolan was a founding member of St. Andrew the Apostle Parish in the
early 1950s and helped set that community's foundations. For that and other work, he was
awarded the Archdiocese of New Orleans' Order of St. Louis. In his youth, Al played second
base and was one of the last surviving members of the Shamrocks, an Algiers-based team. Later
he attended Loyola University, became an honors graduate of that university's dental school
and received his orthodontic training at the University of Michigan. Dr. Nolan served as a
dentist in the Navy in World War II. Operating under strict wartime secrecy not lifted for
decades, while in England he helped identify remains of American and English sailors and
soldiers killed by German E-boats in Exercise Tiger, a rehearsal before the D-Day invasion.
Dr. Nolan is survived by Nancy, his wife of 63 years; sons Bruce (with Emily), of New
Orleans, Rick (with Julie) and Lewis (with Alicia), of Mandeville; Barbara (with John)
Bolling, of Houston; Dr. Patrick (with Lisa) Nolan of Plymouth, Mich. and Neal (with Lynn)
Nolan, of Austin; by a brother, Donner; sisters Clare Coney, of Austin, Patricia Cuyler, of
Mandeville and Nora Lambert of New Orleans; by 16 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
Visitation will be Wednesday at 9 a.m. at St. Andrew the Apostle Church, 3101 Eton St.,
Algiers, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 11 a.m. Interment will be at Westlawn
Memorial Cemetery, Gretna. Mothe Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements. 1/26/2010

lifelong crossword puzzle fan she kept her mind sharp to the very end. She loved puns and
composed poetry for family members for special days and was recently published in the
"Chateau Chatter". At 99 years of age she was still preparing her own meals in her beloved
apartment living up to her nickname, "Awesome". Heartfelt thanks go out to Marcela Mejia who
provided tender loving care in Myra's final days and to the staff of St. Joseph Hospice for
all their expert help. Thanks also to Ms. Mary Edna Noel who gave her all in the hard times
after Katrina. Special thanks also go out to Lou Howard, Shirley Banks and Elizabeth Parker
for their boundless assistance during the first years of Myra's health issues. She will be
greatly missed but her wit and humor will stay with us as we relive the many stories she
told. And hopefully one day we will all be reunited. Visitation and memorial service will be
held Wed., Jan. 20th, from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. at Greenwood Funeral Home, 5200 Canal Blvd. In
lieu of flowers, please consider donations to St. Joseph Hospice or charity of your choice.

****************************************

000887	RATTLER LaSalle McKinley Rattler, Sr. was born October 30, 1919 to Addie Mae Collins
and Albert Raddler in Woodville Mississippi. While still an infant, he and his mother left
Woodville and traveled to Baton Rouge and later to New Orleans, Louisiana, where LaSalle
spent his young life living with his Aunt Mateal and Uncle Preacher, then with other Collins
family members. In New Orleans, LaSalle attended and graduated from Hoffman School and began
a life that would be full of the outdoor activities and travel. After fulfilling his
obligation to the US Army, LaSalle returned to New Orleans to build a life for himself and
his young wife Gloria. His young life was filled with family, friends and fun. Among other
jobs he worked at the Port of Embarkation, until an injury ended his career. After becoming
single for a number of years he met and married Evelyn Smith of Braithewaite Louisiana and
became father to her daughter Carol Frances Bebelle. To this union, two sons were born,
LaSalle McKinley Rattler, Jr and Gregory Neal Rattler. His wife Evelyn and their children
became the family that helped to launch him into mid-life with a deeper focus and commitment.
In 1977, after 22 years of marriage, his wife Evelyn died unexpectedly in 1977 leaving him a
single father. After an injury limited his physical capabilities, LaSalle became a taxi
driver for Morrison and Elks cab services and a private taxi for hire for the elderly who
needed local transportation. He knew a little bit about almost everything and was insightful,
perceptive, and analytical. LaSalle's memory contained ninety years of information and wisdom
that equaled historians and scholars. He accepted God in his life in his youth and this
relationship matured as LaSalle matured. He grew spiritually in the church from a member to a
church steward and an Ordained Deacon at the Rising Star Baptist Church then pastored by Rev.
Emit Adams. The church today is pastored by Rev. C. L. Franklin. He remained a member there
until his death. In his later life, he continued to manage a "much in demand" social life
from his fellow residents at Chateau de Notre Dame with his devoted friend and companion
Alice Robertson known affectionately in the family as "Ms. Alice". LaSalle was an independent
man, well grounded in Christian values and principles and willing to stand on principle when
necessary. He was a family, man the family's patriarch and he took great care to stay
connected and involved in the lives of sisters, aunts and uncles who were like parents to
him, cousins who were like brothers and sisters, his children, his daughters-in- law and his
beloved grandchildren. He leaves a wonderful legacy in his children, LaSalle (Angela
Rattler), Gregory ( Twyla Rattler) and Carol Bebelle; his grandchildren, Gregory, Jr., Kelley
Rattler Holloway, Raphael, Garrick, and Gerrard. He will be sadly missed by his friend and
companion Alice Robertson, the residents of Chateau de Notre Dame Apartments and the Seniors
Ministry at Rising Star Missionary Baptist Church. He will be remembered by his family,
sisters Doris and Thelma, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends, the Pastor, Officers and
members of Rising Star Baptist Church, Blessed Sacrament/St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church,
Corpus Christi/Epiphany Catholic Church and Christian Unity Baptist Church, the staff and
student body of St. Augustine High School, the 5th District of the New Orleans Police

001109	VENDETTO Surrounded by his family, Chief Petty Officer Robert Allen Vendetto, a
retired Navy Diver, lost his courageous battle wth cardiopulmonary disease on January 22nd in
Houma, Louisiana. Bob, fondly known as "Guinea" among his military brothers, served our
country with pride and honor for 23 years. Throughout his years of military service, he spent
time aboard the following Navy vessels: USS Albany, USS Skylark, USS Sunbird, and the USS
Lipan. While stationed in San Diego, Bob was a diving instructor at the 2nd Class Diving
School. Following this duty, Bob served in Vietnam with the Harbor Clearance Unit One. Bob's
last tour at sea was aboard the USS Seawolf (SSN) 575 attached to Submarine Development Group
One Detachment Mare Island, California. He honorably retired from US Naval service as the
Project Manager of the EX-14 and MK-11 Underwater Breathing Apparatus at the Experimental
Diving Unit (NEDU) in Panama City, FL. In that position, he was a key team member of a 1,000
feet of sea water experimental saturation dive. He was awarded the coveted "Legion of Merit"
for his valiant service to our country. After his retirement from the Navy in 1979, Bob
cherished his time as an Offshore Saturation Supervisor at Santa Fe Underwater Services.
Later, he plunged into the world of sales with Santa Fe. Being a natural born salesman, his
charismatic personality brought him success at Sonat Subsea, American Oilfield Divers, Stolt
Offshore, MADCON, and finally Triton Diving Services. Chief Vendetto was born in New London,
Connecticut on September 4, 1936 to Ellen Sullivan Vendetto and Michael Vendetto. He was a
graduate of New London High School, Class of 1955. He was the proud father of Beth Vendetto
Walters (Mark) of Winter Springs, FL, JR Vendetto (Judy Moore) of Baton Rouge, LA, John
Vendetto (Connie Bergeron) of Houma, LA, and Joe Vendetto (Mariana Soard) of Houma, LA. His
grandchildren will miss their Papa: Joei Michelle Vendetto, Tyler Walters, Hannah Walters,
Destin Vendetto, Bre' Vendetto, and Vincenza Vendetto. He is also survived by the mother of
his children and caregiver, Elizabeth Ann Dolan. He leaves behind his brother Wayne Vendetto
and sisters Patricia San Juan, Phyllis Bartelli, Maureen Thompson, Joan Laycock, and Donna
Vendetto. He will be sadly missed by his companion Maureen Bodron, dear friend Frank Mantell,
military shipmates, and his civilian family. We give heartfelt thanks to Dr. Russell Henry
for his dedication, commitment, and gentle guidance throughout Bob's illness. We would also
like to recognize the CCU Unit at Terrebonne General and the staff at Physician's Alliance
for the compassion and dignity shown to Bob in his final days. Calling hours will be held on
Thursday, January 28th from 5-9 PM at Falgout Funeral Home in Houma. A Mass of Christian
Burial will be celebrated on Friday, January 29th, at the Cathedral of St. Francis de Sales
