Edwin enjoyed spending time with family and friends especially while out camping. Windy always enjoyed listening to swamp pop and dancing with his wife. He was a huge NASCAR, LSU and Saints fan. Windy was a man of few words, but there are no words to truly describe how wonderful of a man he was. He was hard working, strong, thoughtful, kind, compassionate and loving.

Windy was a simple man and per his wishes did not want to have any services.
