Dad was a graduate of Francis T. Nicholls High School. He then proudly served in World War II in the United States Navy. He was a longtime employee of Halliburton Services before retirement many years ago. Dad and our Mom enjoyed many years of Square Dancing and Round Dancing with numerous clubs. Our parents enjoyed traveling to the Gulf Coast Casinos, when mom was more mobile. Our parents looked forward to spending time with their children, grandchildren and especially the great-grandchildren. In their later years as mom’s mobility faltered and his eyesight worsened they still managed together. Mom and Dad truly held on for each other and we think it is fitting that one couldn’t possibly leave without the other. They are together again. Dad was baptized at and a longtime parishioner of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church.
