On Saturday, January 21, 2017 Alcee Gonzague Mouton, “AG”, passed away peacefully with his family at his bedside. AG was born August 5, 1921 in Carencro, Louisiana and lived most of his adult life in New Orleans. He was preceded in death by his son Alcee III (Al), his brothers Jerome and Edgar, and his dear sister Margie. He is survived by his wife, Dorothy (Dot); his children Karen, Zachary (Zach), Michele, Suzette (Suzy), Barbara, Cecilia, Larry and Richard; 24 grandchildren and 22 great grandchildren. Like many young men of his generation, he joined the navy and was stationed in the Pacific during World War II. After the war AG attended Tulane University where he met Dorothy Marie Segari. They were married on May 14, 1949 at Holy Name of Jesus. They raised their family in a modest home in St. Francis Cabrini Parish, and relocated to Algiers after hurricane Katrina. AG worked for Kaiser Aluminum in Chalmette and retired after 30 years. Not one to sit still, in 1982 he began his second career as an Instructor in Instrumentation at Delgado Community College. Always pushing himself for new adventures, he started flying lessons at 60 years old. In 2003, at the age of 82, his son, Larry, started him beekeeping. He produced honey at his home in Lakeview and Algiers and became well known as the proprietor of “PawPaw’s honey” at the New Orleans Farmers Market, selling his wares to many chefs and locals for many years. His picture was featured in John Besh’s ‘My Family Table’. AG loved hunting and fishing, which he was able to continue into his early 90’s; adventurous travel; but above all, spending time with his family. Relatives and friends are invited to attend the Memorial Service at 1:00p.m. on Thursday, January 26, 2017, at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd. New Orleans.
