Lory was born September 19, 1940 in New Iberia to the late Arty Segura and the late Mildred Pellerin Segura. Lory began his life farming sugar cane like his father and family before him.

He also drove a school bus for the Iberia Parish School Board, operated a trucking company, and in his retirement worked part time with the Iberia Parish Port Commission as a dock superintendent.
Lory was a man with a generous heart and loved helping people. One of his talents was cooking and he share that by helping with charitable, church and political functions.
