Ronald "Ronnie" James Giroir Sr.

Ronald James Giroir, Sr., born on August 16, 1941, and passed away on February 22, 2022, at the age of 80 at his son's (Ruben's) house. He was born in Klotsville, LA, raised in Belle Rose and lived in Donaldsonville for most of his life. "Hook" (as he was known to many) certainly enjoyed family and friends, and had many to show for it. Ronnie loved his beer and a good joke, but being around people was his passion. For many years he enjoyed spending time at the camp, (his project), and later in life found LSU and Saints Football. He graduated from Assumption High School and served in the Army National Guard. He was a Sugar Cane Farmer for over forty years, (not counting his childhood years). Ronnie was a devoted Catholic who enjoyed passing the collection, and serving whenever asked or wherever he saw the need. He is survived by his three sons, Ronald Jr. "Jimmy" (and wife, Bing), Ruben (Regina), and Rodney "Rocky" (Melissa) Giroir; his neighborhood son's Andrew (Peggy) and Gerard (Beth) Frey, his five grandchildren, Chace (Katrina), Jie, Devyn, Alyssa and Cali; three great grandchildren, Charli Rose, Harleigh, and Kylee. Ronnie is also survived by his sister, Janet Tolleson, and brother, Richard Giroir (Lorain), and brother-in-law, Tommy Mistretta Jr. (Kathy), and their children, and by many of the Maher family include the patriarch Kenneth Maher. Ronnie was preceded in death by his wife, Pam Mistretta Giroir, his parents, Wilson and Gertrude Giroir, in-laws Tom and Marie Mistretta, bother-in-law, Jerry Tolleson, grandson, Dylan McClendon, and third neighborhood son, Kevin Boudreaux. Even in a weaken state, he still wanted to go visit with people. We will miss him in many ways. Funeral services will be held at the Ascension Catholic Church in Donaldsonville on Tuesday, March 01, 2022. Visitation starts at 9:30AM, and funeral at 11:00AM.
