Lester Robert Tillman

He is preceded in death by his parents, Otto Tillman and Lauretta Miranda Tillman, and his brothers, Louis Tillman, Otto Tillman Jr., Roy Tillman, and Harold Tillman.

He is survived by his loving wife of 61 years, Judy Broussard Tillman, his sons, Troy Tillman, Dirk Tillman (Caroline), and Doug Tillman (Angie), and his grandchildren, Blake Tillman, Brooke Tillman, Joshua Tillman, and Emily Tillman.

Lester was a kind person who never met a stranger. He retired from Entergy after 35 years of service and spent his time enjoying gardening, fishing, and being a dedicated Saints fan. However, Lester’s real pride and joy were his grandchildren. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
