000009 ALBERT Clare Irene Trudeau Albert, 82, currently of Asheville, NC and formerly of
Metairie, LA and Adams, MA, died peacefully on Friday, November 16, 2012 at her home at
Deerfield Retirement Community. She was born December 16, 1929 in Adams, MA, the daughter of
Henri and Anna Gagnon Trudeau. She graduated from high school in Adams, MA and attended
nursing school in Albany, NY. She was married to Ben Livingston from 1949 to 1969. They had
two children, Susan Ann Livingston and Steven George Livingston. The couple lived in Ohio and
New Jersey before moving to New Orleans, LA. On April 8, 1972, Clare married Matthew Albert
in New Orleans. Matthew and Clare moved to Metairie, LA where they lived together until
Matthew's death in 1986. Clare continued to live in their house until she was forced out by
Hurricane Katrina in 2005. After the Hurricane, Clare moved to Dixon, IL to be closer to her
grandson, Jeffrey, and his family. The Illinois winters were too much for her and she longed
to move back South which she did in 2008. In 2011 she moved to Asheville, NC to be closer to
her son. Clare enjoyed playing duplicate bridge and was proud of her Bronze Life Master
status. She enjoyed the company of her bridge friends and traveled with them extensively.
Clare was known as Granny to her four grandchildren (and their friends) and as GG to her
seven great-grandchildren. She enjoyed entertaining family and friends in Metairie and
welcomed everyone into her home. She frequently hosted a sumptuous meal on Sunday afternoon
to go along with watching football and eating ice cream. She always had chocolate chip
cookies ready for her grandsons and their friends when they arrived from their long Mardi
Gras road trips from Northern Illinois. She made sure there was plenty to eat when she hosted
'Seafood Night at Granny's'. One of Clare's favorite memories was of the surprise 80th
birthday party that was held in her honor in New Orleans. Her family from across the country
and friends from nearby gathered to celebrate her life. Her favorite hobbies were making
miniature dollhouses, cross stitching, and knitting. In fact, every Christmas, family members
eagerly anticipated getting knitted 'Granny slippers' as a gift. Clare is survived by her
first husband, Ben Livingston of Pittsburgh, PA, her children Steve (Lynnora Bierce)
Livingston, Asheville, NC, and Susan Livingston, Berkeley, CA. Surviving grandchildren
include Jeffrey (DeAnne) White of Dixon, IL, Jason (Colleen) White of Acton, MA, Gretchen
(Martin) Gadecki of Pflugerville, TX and Daniel Livingston of Orlando, FL. Great
grandchildren include Jarod and Trevor White of Dixon, Julien, Connor and Graham White of
Acton, Bethany Peterson and Lindsey Livingston of Pflugerville. Clare was preceded in death
by her parents, her sister, Jeannette, and her husband, Matthew. A private Thanksgiving
celebration of life for the family is being held in Asheville on Friday, November 23, 2012
and a public memorial service is scheduled for 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, December 4 in the St.

000111 BRYANT Robert Edward Bryant April 20, 1960 - November 3, 2012 Robert E. Bryant, 52, of
New Orleans, passed away on November 3, 2012 at the Forest Manor Nursing Home in Covington,
LA. He departed this world after having fought a valiant battle against pancreatic cancer.
Robert attended the Chamberlain-Hunt Academy of Mississippi where he excelled in history,
chemistry, mathematics and accounting. He was a gifted baseball player in high school and
remained an avid fan of America's favorite pastime even through his latter days. He was a
native of New Orleans and an advocate for supporting the local economy. He was fiercely
dedicated to the community of Uptown New Orleans, where he resided for most of his adult
life. Robert always considered this neighborhood to be his refuge and of great comfort. He
fully embraced the culinary delights of the region and loved the Crescent City's prized
dishes, particularly shrimp pasta. Though he suffered a devastating car accident at age 17,
Robert never allowed his physical limitations to be a burden; he lived life to the fullest
and steadfastly adhered to a code of self-sufficiency and independence. We will always
remember his generosity; how he smiled with his eyes and gave you his distinctive half grin.
Robert is preceded in death by his parents, William and Consuelo Bryant. Robert is survived
by his sister and brother-in-law, Deborah and Randall Bush; his niece, Nicole Szyller; his
grandnieces, Sarina and Briana Mathieu; his grandnephew, Jason Mathieu; and numerous cousins.
The family wishes to express their sincere appreciation to all those who selflessly gave
their love, support, care and prayers through the years: in particular, the families of
George and Mary Marti, Nicole Szyller and Jennifer White, Tony and Vicki Kirschner, Jan and
Evelyn Lloyd, John Schexnayder, Philip and Denise Bahr, Gerald and Olga Bush, Elder Sun and

000144 CERNIGLIA Barbara Elise Cerniglia On November 22, 2012, New Orleans legend, Barbara
Elise Cerniglia, passed away after suffering from Alzheimer's, leaving behind a legacy of
selflessness and compassion that spanned five decades and extended over three continents. Her
efforts on behalf of countless refugees, immigrants, homeless, poor and disadvantaged will
never be forgotten. Elise worked for more than four decades helping Cubans, Vietnamese, and
many other immigrants in need. She resettled over 20,000 Cubans and more than 40,000
Vietnamese and was instrumental in the creation of Catholic Charities Immigration and Refugee
Services, the El Yo-Yo Bilingual Readiness Program and Child Care Center, and helped numerous
refugees obtain their collegiate degrees and begin businesses. Her last efforts were to aid
immigrants with legal representation. 'La Senora Elisa', as she was fondly called by the New
Orleans Hispanic community, was born on August 5, 1922, in New Orleans. Although she was born
in New Orleans, she grew up in Cuba where her father was the lead chemical engineer at a
sugar cane plantation in Espana Central, Matanzas, Cuba. Years later she moved back to New
Orleans. When Castro came to power in Cuba, a deluge of refugees found their way to New
Orleans. Most arrived with only the clothes on their backs. They had no money, no place to
stay, no jobs. She found them clothes, places to live, and work. Word spread, and before
long, Elise was receiving calls from other Cubans. Elise started collecting clothes, food,
and other items in her home, and working with Senator Ellender for visa waivers for those
Cubans trapped in Cuba. The project soon grew too big for her house, so Elise rented space on
Broad Street, and called it the Catholic Cuban Relief Center. She found jobs, homes to rent,
and helped many go back to school. More and more Cubans came to New Orleans, often showing up
with her phone number on a slip of paper. Then, with the help of Archbishop Hannan, she set
up the Catholic Charities Immigration and Refugee Services that is functioning to this day.
Because so many Cuban children couldn't speak English, she started a bilingual pre-school,
and called it the El Yo-Yo Bi-lingual Readiness Program and Child Care Center. She went to
Washington and procured federal funds for this program. The school was so successful that it
became the model for other school systems, and student teachers and observers started showing
up, taking notes. Bilingual education was brought to New Orleans. After the Vietnam War, the
United States of America brought hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese refugees and put them in
camps, hoping they would be adopted by families across America. Elise called them up and said
that she would take as many as they could send her. At first, they objected, but later agreed
for the Catholic Charities Immigration and Refugee Service to sponsor as many as they could
take. She firmly believed that, like the Cubans, they should keep their culture and help each
other. Many Vietnamese would come to the New Orleans area, from other cities where they had
been resettled, because they wanted to live among their own. Many found work on fish, shrimp,
and oyster boats and eventually went on the buy their own boats. Through donations and a lot
of hard work, Elise was eventually able to resettle an estimated 40,000 to 60,000 Vietnamese
refugees in the New Orleans area, where they, like the Cubans, became an integral part of the
multi-cultural fabric of the New Orleans area. Later, she went to work at Catholic Charities
processing and working with immigrants from countries like Honduras, Costa Rica, San
Salvador, and many others. Elise taught herself immigration law, and became a certified legal
representative that allowed her to represent immigrants in court. With the title 'amicus
curiae' she prepared and presented cases before federal judges. Despite a diagnosis of
macular degeneration, and even during her years of waning eyesight, she continued helping
immigrants and refugees. Elise continued working, helping people, until she was 80 years old
and was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. During her lifetime, she received numerous awards,
medals, and citations, including the Order of St. Louis IX Award, papal recognition from Pope
Pius XII and Pope John Paul II. Elise's legacy lives on in the countless lives that she has
touched. Barbara Elise Cerniglia was born on August 5, 1922 to William J Williams, native of
Williams, PA and Lillian Johness, native of Lafourche Parish, LA. She was preceded in death
by her parents, and siblings: James A Williams, Phyllis N Levy, and her twin brother, William
A Williams. Also preceding her were her first husband, Lt. Norman F Randolph, USNR who died
in service to his country during the Pacific action of World War II, a daughter, Phyllis
Randolph and her second husband, Dr. Albert Salvatore Cerniglia, a well known and respected
physician of New Orleans. She is survived by her children: Phyllis Edwards of Amite, LA,
James A. Cerniglia of Accokeek, MD, Timothy W. Cerniglia of Metairie, LA, Mrs. Barbara A.
Smith of Mandeville, LA, Arthur T Cerniglia of Kenner, LA and Lillian 'Mimi' Higgins of Cape
Girardeau, MO. She is also survived by 17 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren, as well as
the countless refugees whose lives she touched. All will sorely miss her courage, wisdom and
generosity. Visitation will be held at Jacob Schoen & Son Funeral Home on Canal Street from
6:00 to 9:00 pm the evening of Tuesday, November 27, 2012. The funeral mass will be held at
noon, Wednesday, November 28th at Holy Name of Jesus Church on St. Charles Ave. In lieu of

000172 COX Walter Casper Cox We bid fond farewell to Walter Casper Cox, who passed into the
next stage of his existence on October 11, 2012. Walter is survived by Marco Meneghini, who
filled many roles such as Best Friend, Longtime Companion, Caregiver, and in the end, the
person Walter chose to call 'Dad'. Walter embarked upon the hard road that would be his life
on May 20, 1983. Removed from his home at the age of 5 to be placed into a life of foster
care, Walter's life was a story of challenges and heartbreaks, ultimately ending in a brutal
attack in 2010 which left him crippled. Life works in mysterious ways and in the end, his
path of recovery from his injuries led him on a personal journey where his ability to love
and feel love blossomed. Supported by Marco's friendship, his friends at the Country and
Western dances, and the New Orleans Radical Faeries, Walter told Marco in September for the
first time, 'I'm happy.' Unfortunately, multiple medical issues, including brittle diabetes,
made for an early morning departure at only 29; however, his friends celebrate that Walter
triumphed over an incredibly hard life and, in the end, was smiling. Friends are welcome to
gather Sunday, December 2 at 4pm at the home of Marco Meneghini, 516 Marigny Street.
Memories, laughs and food will be shared. November 2012 Times Picayune

000250 FAULK Niles R. Faulk passed away Thursday, November 22, 2012 at his home in Covington,
LA. He was born July 22, 1920 to Albert Roy and Fredora Sponseller Faulk in Canton, OH and
was a resident of Covington, LA since 1977. The beloved husband of Barbara Reagan Faulk, he
is survived by his sister, Donna Mae FaulK; two step children, Liz Mount and Mark Cohn and a
number of nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his wife, Melba Dotson Faulk and
one brother Kenneth L. Faulk. He retired as Senior Vice President on February 1, 1982 after
28 years of dedicated service with LL&E. 'A real oil finder', 'a hard core geologist', 'the
Chief', 'a great boss' are only a few of the endearing attributes to Niles during his
professional career. Much of LL&E's success in exploration for oil and gas can be attributed
to his persistent search through sound geological interpretation. His leadership, exploration
ability and friendly disposition have been etched on the memories of those who knew him
either personally or professionally. When Niles first joined LL&E in 1953 until his
retirement in 1982, he helped guide the Company from that of a small royalty interest
landowner to a large successful, diversified and integrated Company. Niles was respected and
admired by all who knew him. His talents and splendid personality will certainly be missed.

000359 HEAD Richard Daniel Head passed away on Friday, November 9, 2012. Beloved uncle of
Daniel Richard Schaus; and great-uncle of Richard Jason Schaus, John Bradley Schaus (wife,
Monica; and their children, Madelyn and Daniel) and Whitney Ann Schaus (her daughter,
Camille). He was preceded in death by his wife, Madelyn Briggs Head; his mother, Elizabeth
Lelia Hager Head; his father, Birdie Daniel Head; a sister and brother-in-law, Betty and
Richard Schaus; and a niece, Leeann Schaus Fluegel. Age 89 years, he was a native of Long
Beach, CA and a resident of Mandeville, LA. Dick was a World War II Veteran, having served in
the United States Marine Corp attaining the rank of Sergeant. He was the recipient of the
Purple Heart which he received after being shot twice in the Battles of Saipan and Tinian in
the South Pacific. Richard Head, known mostly by family and friends as 'UNC', had a deep love
and devotion to wooden boats. Unc's love for wooden boats began when he recovered from his
gun shot injuries in Saipan and Tinian during WWII. Unc began his boat building career at the
San Diego Shipyard building small cabin cruisers for the San Diego Harbor Patrol. Given his
dad was a tuna fisherman in the greater pacific, Unc has always been either on or very near
water and boats. Unc ended his career there at the shipyard as a certified Master Craftsmen.
Unc's first boat he owned and most importantly built himself was a 32 foot cabin cruiser
called 'The Drift Away.' That vessel is still afloat in and around the Pacific waters of San
Diego today. Unc's pride and joy and the only child he and his late wife ever had was their
1971 36 foot Grand Banks called the 'Salty Sarge'. After saving up enough money Unc and his
wife Madelyn were able to order and purchase their pride and joy. Unc and Aunt Madelyn spent
countless times marlin fishing between Mission Bay (near San Diego, CA) and Catalina Island
off the coast of Long Beach/Los Angeles. Unc and Aunt Madelyn were very active in the Mission
Bay Yacht club where they actually became charter members. There could be series and series
of novels around the number of trips taken, marlin caught, party's aboard during any
occasion, Christmas boat parades etc.. Salty Sarge made its final voyage east via a flatbed
truck from San Diego to Clear Lake Texas then piloted from there to its final birth spot
which was Madisonville, LA. After moving to Mandeville to be closer to family following the
passing of his late wife, Madelyn Head, he was able to continue his love for wooden boats by
devoting his time to both the Madisonville Wooden Boat Museum and the North Cross Methodist
Church. The Madisonville Wooden Boat Museum host's a Wooden Boat Festival each year in
Madisonville, LA. At each festival there is a competition among wooden boat owners and Unc
was able to win one year which we think made his day. Given his medical and physical
struggles, Unc sold the Salty Sarge to someone who appreciates good woodwork as much as he
does. We will miss the family times spent aboard the Salty Sarge. We will forever miss him
and will are thankful for everything he did for every one of us. A visitation for relatives
and friends will be held at E.J. Fielding Funeral Home Inc., 2260 W. 21st. Ave., Covington,
LA 70433 on Sunday, November 11, 2012, beginning at 2:00 PM and continuing until 4:00 PM.
Graveside services with U.S. Marine Corp Military Honors will be held on Wednesday, November
14, 2012 at 11:00 AM at La Vista Memorial Park, 3191 Orange Street, National City, CA 91950.

where he lived and became known as 'The Mayor of Preston Greens'. Robert knew everyone, and
everyone affectionately called him, 'Mr. Robert'. There is one word that will stand as a

encourage. As Proverbs 18:24 says 'a man who has friends', must himself be friendly'. Above
all else, Robert's relationship with GOD was most important to him. Celebrate his homecoming,

000391 HUNTSINGER Merl Martin Huntsinger, a retired university official and an avid golfer
who made a hole-in-one when he was 90 years old, died Friday, November 2, 2012. He was 97.
Mr. Huntsinger was born Oct. 23, 1915 in Keats, Kansas. One of nine children, his family
moved frequently 'for opportunity,' he liked to say. 'My family wasn't poor. We just had no
money.' When he was 12, he and his 11-year-old brother spent days driving a covered wagon,
transporting the family's horses from Arkansas to their new home in Garber, Oklahoma. He
graduated from Garber High School in 1935, in the midst of the Great Depression, and later
endowed a scholarship in honor of his siblings and a man who helped him get home from
football practices and games. A graduate of Tonkawa Junior College, he attended Oklahoma A&M
College before enlisting in the US Navy during World War II, working mainly as a paymaster in
Brazil. With the aid of the GI Bill, he attended Washington University in St. Louis,
Missouri, graduating in 1947. He spent his entire career at his alma mater, beginning as an
internal auditor, and working up to comptroller, assistant vice chancellor and treasurer, and
secretary of the university's Board of Trustees. During his tenure, Wash U was transformed
from a 'streetcar college' to a major research university, which Mr. Huntsinger helped happen
by managing endowed funds of $750 million. He was president of the Central Association of
College and University Business Officers. After his retirement in 1981, he and his first
wife, Hazel Holland Huntsinger, moved to New Orleans in 1982 to be close to their son,
Thomas. She died in 1986, and in 1999, he committed to establish two endowments at Wash U:
the Merl M. Huntsinger professorship in finance and the Hazel H. Huntsinger professorship in
painting. Tom lived Uptown, across the street from Rita Trahan Odenheimer, a widow he thought
his father should meet. It was a match, and they married in 1994, with Rita moving to her
husband's home facing the golf course in Timberlane Estates in Gretna. Mr. Huntsinger played
golf four days a week, never dreaming that Aug. 15, 2006 would be different from all his
other golf days. 'Some people have an accident with a car,' he said in an interview with The
Times-Picayune. 'I'm a 90-year-old guy who had an accident with a golf club.' Attempting to
hit the ball over a sand trap, he hit it onto the green, and made a hole in one. 'I give the
workman on the course credit for setting the cup right where my ball rolled over it,' he
said. The Huntsingers endowed two scholarships at Loyola's College of Music and Fine Arts, as
well as two professorships, one in the music college, the other in Loyola's College of
Business. Survivors include his widow, Rita Huntsinger, and his son, Thomas (Patty), all of
the New Orleans area. Also three step-children: Carol Odenheimer Caplan of New Orleans,
Stephen Odenheimer(Susan) of Bedford, Texas and John Odenheimer (Sally) of Centennial,
Colorado; seven step-grandchildren; and five step-great-grandchildren. A memorial service
will be conducted by the Rev. Fred Powell at 10 a.m. on Thanksgiving, November 22, 2012, at
First Presbyterian Church, 5401 South Claiborne Ave. in N.O. Visitation begins at 9:30 a.m.

000529 MAJORS DAVID PRESTON 'BUDDY' MAJORS (1921-2012) David Preston 'Buddy' Majors, pilot,
amateur golf champion, businessman, husband, father, friend, died on November 5, 2012. He was
92 years old. Buddy was born on March 29, 1921. At age 19, he began his flying career, Buddy
flew for the China National Aviation Corporation from 1943 to 1945, the height of World War
II. During that time, he flew more than 1,500 hours and 190 round trips across the Himalayas,
the so-called 'Hump' between India and China, transporting cargo and personnel to America's
allies. On one particularly memorable flight, Buddy flew Carl Eifler, chief of America's
intelligence operations in Burma, behind enemy lines into Burma. They landed safely in a
field, but upon takeoff, their plane crashed and they were stuck behind enemy lines. Neither
was seriously injured, and they trekked out of enemy territory. They were aided by local
Kachin headmen, who provided food, shelter and horses. They walked, rode borrowed horses, and
forded streams, eventually making their way through the Burmese jungle to a British outpost.
Buddy never forgot that journey and talked about it often. Upon leaving CNAC, Buddy accepted
a commission in the U.S. Navy where he served as lieutenant and was assigned to the
Jacksonville, Florida Naval Air Station. Buddy moved to New Orleans in 1946 and started
Majors Tool Company, which supplied oil field equipment and machinery. Buddy loved sports,
and he was good at them. In his younger days, he played tennis, winning the Houston city and
district tennis championships and once opposing Bobby Riggs in a match. But golf became his
sport of choice. He was a six-time winner of the City Championship of the New Orleans Golf
Association. He was named New Orleans Golf Sportsman of the Year in 1965. Buddy never lost
his love of the game. He was particularly proud when, at age 87, he shot an 82. His
competitive streak also included bridge. In his later years, he loved to play bridge with his
friends at Broken Arrow Senior Citizens Center. Buddy is survived by his wife of 25 years,
Sue Majors, his sister, Frances, and by two daughters, one son, grandchildren and great-
grandchildren. A private family service will be held. In lieu of flowers, the family requests
that contributions be made to Clarehouse, 7617 S. Mingo Road, Tulsa, OK 74133, or to Grace

children Jay and MIkalia; Mary Ann and Keith Simpson and children Hillary, Olivia, Benjamin

Hillar's many friends and acquaintances. There are so many friends and associates with the
various organizations, particularly Associated Grocers, Our Lady of the Lake, Mary Bird
Perkins Cancer Center, SCORE, Marine Corps League that it is difficult to name them all.
Please know that he cherished his friendship with each of you. He was especially fond of his
Marine Corps League buddies, Joe Corsentino, George Edmonson, V. J. Bella, Dick Brandt,
Murphy Burke and others. Hillar's humanitarian and civic deeds have touched the lives of
many, improving the quality of life for teens, tots, the elderly, the needy, and the ill. As
unassuming as he was generous, Hillar had strength of character and a commitment to worthy
causes that reflected his dedication to God, country, family and community. He was constantly
involved in civic and charitable events making positive impact on our community. He served on
the Board of Directors of the Baton Rouge Symphony where he coordinated volunteers, oversaw
the hiring of staff, and analyzed the Symphony's finances and development plans. Although
retired from Associated Grocers after 50 years of service in the grocery industry, including
20 years as its President & CEO, Hillar continued to provide truckloads of food for the
needy--and enlisted volunteers to deliver it all--every Christmas, year in and year out. He
served as President of the Louisiana Grocers Co-op, Inc. In October of 1995, Hillar joined
the Service Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE). Sponsored by the U.S. Small Business
Administration, he shared his business acumen with others just starting out. He served on
SCORE's Executive Committee and as Vice Chairman and Chairman of the local chapter. Through
Junior Achievement of Baton Rouge, Hillar volunteered his time as a teacher of economics at
University High School. An active supporter of the Girl Scouts, he served on the Audubon Girl
Scout Council's board. He served as Treasurer and a member of its Finance Committee and
helped raise thousands of dollars in a capital campaign to construct the Marydale Center at
Camp Marydale in St. Francisville. Hillar served for many years on the boards of both Our
Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center and Ollie Steel Burden Manor. Devoted to the
Catholic Church, he served as an Eucharistic Minister and Lector for the Chapel in OLOL
Hospital and received an invitation from Bishop Hughes to become a member of the Equestrian
Knights of the Holy Sepulcher - Papal honorees for outstanding contributions to the local
diocese. He served as Chairman of the Louisiana Dairy Stabilization board and on the
Arthritis Association of Louisiana board. Hillar also served on the Board of Directors at
Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center. When he became aware that funds were needed for indigent
patient care and research, he proposed creating a charity golf tournament as a means toward
that end. In 1990, the Mary Bird Perkins Pro/Celebrity Charity Classic golf tournament was
founded. In the past 21 years, the tournament has raised over $1.2 million in support of the
Center. Hillar was the Founding Chairman of the tournament, served on its Executive Board,
and on its Board of Directors. His involvement and leadership have helped save countless
lives. Sargent Major Moore was a proud 30 year veteran of the United States Marine Corps
having landed and fought on Iwo Jima, Guam and Saipan and activated for Korea and standing
ready for duty in Vietnam. In the early 1970s, when several former U.S. Marines were trying
to form a Marine Corps League in Baton Rouge, Hillar used his boundless energy to help
establish the Choctaw Detachment of the U.S. Marine Corps League. Composed of active, retired
and honorably discharged Marines, the League serves Baton Rouge by participating in Toys for
Tots, providing flags for schools on Flag Day, arranging activities for residents of the
Louisiana War Veterans Home and for Baton Rouge performances of the U.S. Marine Corps Band.
With the same dedication and sense of duty he displayed helping to storm the beaches of Iwo
Jima, Saipan and Guam, Hillar has been active in this organization in many capacities since
its inception, including having served two elected terms as Commandant of the Detachment. He
was instrumental in organizing Memorial and Veterans Day ceremonies for war veterans all over
the state and served as Editor of the Marine Corps League newsletter. Over the years, Hillar
was recognized for his tireless service and commitment to many organizations. He was the 60th
recipient of the prestigious Golden Deeds Award in 2001, awarded by the Inner Civic Council
and The Advocate. He received the National Society of Fund Raising Executive's Outstanding
Volunteer Fund Raiser Award in 1998; the Baton Rouge Speech and Hearing Foundation's
Volunteer Activist Award in 2004; and the Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center's Outstanding
Service Award in 2009. In 2009, Hillar was inducted in the Business Awards Hall of Fame by
the Business Report and Junior Achievement. His integrity and generosity have been a life-
force in the Baton Rouge community. Hillar was a member of many other organizations
throughout his life, some of which include: S. J. Peters Band, Coach of St. Matthews CYO boys
and girls baseball and cabbage ball, Member of the St. John's Alter Boy Society, New Orleans
Louisiana, Junior Achievement volunteer, USS Kidd-Louisiana Naval War Memorial Commission,
USMC Toys For Tots Program, Ollie Steele Burden Manor,Arthritis Foundation of Louisiana, USMC
Baseball League, Woman's Hospital Board of Directors, Audubon Girl Scout Council, Financial
Committee and Volunteer, Board Member of the Greater Baton Rouge Chamber of Commerce, Baton
Rouge Regional Eye Bank, Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank, interim director 2003, Baton Rouge
Symphony, Eucharistic Minister and Lector at Our Lady of the Lake Medical Rosary Chapel,
Louisiana War Veterans Home and the 2013 Grand Marshall, St. Patrick's Day Parade, 'The
Wearin' of the Green'. Sgt. Majors are leaders and show the way. He loved life and lived it
to the fullest, making every day and every relationship count. Everyone was someone special
to him. He lived the right way, making a difference by leading by example. He spoke softly
but carried a big stick. He raised seven children, many grandchildren, great grandchildren,
nieces and nephews and countless others. He was a unique individual who leaves a huge
footprint in Baton Rouge. He will be remembered as one of best men to have ever lived.

000747 SIMMS Charles Simms Jr. Visual Artist and Retired Postal Service employee departed
this life on Saturday, November 17th, 2012 at Tulane Hospital, at the age of 75. He is
preceded in death by his farther Charles Simms Sr. and beloved mother Louise Witherspoon
Simms. Loving husband of 50 years to Lula Mae Sullivan Simms; Devoted father of Charleston
Simms (Desiree'), Charlinda Matthews (Avery), and Cheyra Tennette (Korey); Grandfather of
Chaz M. Simms, and Addisyn M. Matthews; Brother of John Simms and Cynthia S Vaughn; Devoted
cousin to Connie Whitehurst; also survived by a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives, and
friends. Relatives and friends of the family, also members and associates of the National
Conference of Artist, and the New Orleans African American Museum of Art, Culture and
History, students of Booker T. Washington High School class of 1956, students and employees
of Southern University at New Orleans, and employees of the United States Postal Service are
invited to attend a celebration of life at Charbonnet - Labat - Glapion Funeral Home, 1615
Saint Philip Street on Saturday November 24th at 12:00, followed by a jazz procession to
Saint Louis Cemetery #2. Visitation begins at 10:30 am in the Family Center. Charles Simms
was born in New Orleans on December 18th 1936, and grew up in the Lafitte housing project in
Treme'. Before he reached his teens he had met and grown close to Lula Mae Sullivan also from
the Lafitte housing project , who he would marry and share his life with for more than 50
years. Simms is an artist, and his talents showed early. Armand Olivier, who grew up with
Simms, remembers that 'he was always talented, always creative.' He studied art, and spent a
year in Paris in the military. He returned home completed his Fine Arts degree at Southern
University in New Orleans, and used his skills in a lifelong career in the Post Office.
Charles has been a painter all his life. 'I paint, but I have never sold a single painting,
not one, primarily to keep them together as a complete collection'. Many in the African
American art community consider Charles Simms a significant artist, at the very least a major
regional painter, and perhaps more. Charles Simms's art spans numerous themes to include the
striking kinetic style of young black girls in school uniforms playing Double Dutch in front
of the Desire housing project, or performing on stage at school shows; ordinary people going
about their lives in and outside of McDonald's restaurants; abstractions with narrative
elements; and images of New Orleans celebrations, traditions, and contradictions. He was an
artist whose work celebrated daily life
good, bad and indifferent, in the city that he
loved, which means he was in a way essentially local, as immersed in a place as Van Gogh or
Vermeer. When Charles Simms was young he gave away a few paintings, and later found that they
had been lost or given away. He refuses to sell his work not out of insecurity or fear of
testing its value in the marketplace; in fact he has put off many offers to buy paintings. He
had chosen to control his oeuvre, as a complete collection, a documentation of life as seen
through the eyes of an African American living in New Orleans in the last half of the
Twentieth Century. When you talked to Charles Simms you realized that he shared part of the
deep mythos of his neighborhood: he remembered his childhood as a golden age, symbolized by
the communal life around the neutral ground on Claiborne Avenue, and he felt deeply the loss
of that age of innocence and celebration. But his work is not elegiac. He does not paint
monuments of loss. What you come to understand, reflecting on his work is that he has chosen
to paint, over and over, images of the joyous creative life that imbues New Orleans. Even his
portraits of people at McDonalds are heroic images of triumph over circumstance. Simms has
kept alive the spirit of place he experienced in his childhood (in the seemingly unlikely
environment of a New Orleans housing project) in the moments he has chosen to portray in his
paintings. The great artistic achievements of New Orleans - its music, its food, its
buildings, its paintings, and its sculpture - are about New Orleans itself, and about the
sheer exuberance of creativity. They are reflexive in the double sense that their subject is
New Orleans, and that they celebrate their own creative spirit. Narcissism and exhibitionism
are at the heart of the character of New Orleans but emerging from a matrix of discipline and
skill. The great artistic achievements of New Orleans are also richly immersed in African
heritage, but almost always marked by the fusion of what is African with European and even
Asian traditions. Painting of the kind Charles Simms does is European in its antecedents, but
the subjects it celebrates are urgently centered on the New Orleans African heritage. Freddi
Williams Evans, in her recently published study of Congo Square, details the extent to which
French and other European influences mingled with African dances and rhythms in the
celebrations there. The complex identity of Treme' emerges from its being the most African
place in American, and at the same time the most cross-cultural place, as rich in its
European heritage as in its African heritage. The bohemian and racially tolerant quality of
the French Quarter was absorbed from Treme', not the other way around. Charles Simms
represents the deep spirit of New Orleans and Treme', its fundamental creativity. His daily
work as an artist for the Post Office was creative, and he designed his own home. And his
chosen life work was an artistic celebration of his city. He stands with the carpenters,
metal smiths, plasters, masons, and of course with the musicians who created the flourishing
exuberance, the celebration of life itself, that uniquely bodies forth this city, and that is
so deeply rooted in New Orleans. November 2012 Times Picayune
