Richard Verrette

A businessman, Ricky was the proud founder, owner, and operator of Tri City Custom Sheet Metal of Morgan City. Though he was a hardworker, to Ricky family came first. He was the kind of father and grandfather who would never miss a family event. Each barrel race, softball, baseball, volleyball, and football game was attended by Ricky. In his spare time, Ricky enjoyed hunting, fishing, and cooking on the grill. A season ticket holder, Ricky was a proud fan of LSU Football and could always be seen wearing a LSU cap. A wonderful father, grandfather, and friend, Ricky was the kind of person who would do anything for another. His presence will be greatly missed but never forgotten.

Ricky leaves to cherish his wonderful memory his daughter, Becky Fontenot and her husband, Jeff; three grandchildren, Jesse, Haley, and Tate Fontenot; and two siblings, Micky Carmouche and his wife, Barbara, and Darrel Carmouche.
