000031 ARCURI DOMINIC 'Steve' ARCURI This extraordinary man entered Heaven peacefully at his
Mandeville home the afternoon of April 18th. Steve had a pure heart of gold, loved all
unconditionally, and had a special place in his heart for his family: his wife, Victoria Evans-Arcuri;
his parents, mother Donna Arcuri and his late father Dominic Arcuri; his sisters Sandra Johnston, Niki
Dargis (George), Kathi Gottschalk (Gregory), and Deborah Rhodes; and his late younger brothers John
'JA' Arcuri and William 'Billy' Arcuri. Steve also leaves behind several nieces and nephews and many
true friends. Even though diagnosed with cancer, Steve said the recent months have been the best in
his life, filled with many perfect days. His joys in life were his marriage to Victoria, his dogs
Sparky and Lacy, gardening, cooking, history - especially excavations of historic New Orleans, music
and anonymously helping others. Steve was a deeply spiritual man who lived a Christian life. He was a
skilled plumber and wood worker. While we mourn the loss of this amazing child of God, we also
celebrate his life and pray that it serves as an inspiration to others. Friends and family are invited

000107 BRADLEY James A. "Jim" Bradley, Jr. a lifetime resident of Covington, LA, passed away
peacefully on April 4, 2013, in hospice care. Although Jim was born in New Orleans and attended

he continued his education in St. Tammany Parish schools, first at the old Lee Road School in Second
Ward and then at Covington Elementary (later known as William Pitcher Elementary) and Covington High

Jim attended Nichols State when it was one of the few junior colleges in Louisiana. He received an
athletic scholarship, playing both on the offense and defense football teams as tackle or end. After
Nichols State he attended LSU. With the onset of the "Cold War" with Russia, Jim, as many of the
nation's young men, joined the nation's first line of defense, the National Guard, and was
commissioned a Second Lieutenant. He became president and CEO of Economy Pay Plans with offices in New
Orleans and Slidell. In the years after the Causeway opened the way for further development of St.
Tammany Parish, he was a licensed real estate broker and owner of Jim Bradley Real Estate in
Covington. In 1963 and 1967, he stood for election as sheriff of St. Tammany Parish. Jim also was an
avid pilot and amateur airplane enthusiast, the builder of many "experimental aircraft." He was a
member of Experimental Aircraft Association and served as president of Chapter 405. Jim is survived

000203 CONSTANTINE Marie "Weasie" Goldman Constantine departed this life on Friday, April 19, 2013 in
Lafayette, Louisiana following an extended illness. A native New Orleanian, Weasie was born on
February 15, 1932 to James Hamilton Goldman and Augustine Domio Goldman London. She attended St.
Philomena School in Pass Christian, Mississippi and Xavier University Preparatory High School in New
Orleans. During her youth, she was a gifted athlete who was known for her skills as a basketball
player in the CYO league. Weasie was the beloved wife of MSGT. James Marion Constantine who preceded
her in death as did her parents. Those who will mourn her passing yet always celebrate her life
include her daughter Kathy Constantine Griffin (Ivan), three grandchildren Kent David Robert II
(Quiana), Falon Kristen Renard (Thaddeus Towns, Sr.), and Ivan Constantine Griffin; five great-
grandchildren Kytanna Krishon Johnson, Angelique Marie Renard, Thaddeus Eugene Towns, Jr., Sandra
Marie Robert, and Kent David Robert III; her sisters Emma Lewis (Jesse), Gloria Vander (Joseph), and
Peggy Richardson (late Sonny), and her sister-in-law Mae Constantine. She is also survived by a host
of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. As an Army wife, Weasie traveled and lived extensively
throughout countries in Africa and Europe, and for a period in Taiwan. While living in Ethiopia, she
worked as the manager of the Top Five Club. After living abroad, she returned to New Orleans where she
was a resident for several decades during which time she worked as the box office manager for the
Louisiana Superdome, and as manager with the Light House for the Blind radio station. She remained in
New Orleans until her forced relocation following Hurricane Katrina. Eventually settling in Rayne,
Louisiana she was embraced by a wonderful group of friends that included Brenda Francis, Brenda
Pousson, Carmen Campbell, Karen Bergeron, Ida Joshua and despite the distance between them, Weasie and
Lorraine Murray of New Orleans remained very close. As her health declined and she moved into assisted
living, her circle of friends in the Rayne-Lafayette area expanded to include Ken Guidry of St.
Joseph's Catholic Church Eucharistic Ministry, Rose White, Miss Ruby, and Miss Patty of Courtyard
Retirement and Assisted Living. Weasie effortlessly made friends wherever she went. She was chic,
cosmopolitan, and possessed many interests and talents. A polished interior decorator with impeccable
taste for African and Asian-inspired furnishings, she was also a master brownie baker, and a trophy-
winning bowler during military tours-of-duty. The family extends its heartfelt gratitude to the staffs
of the Courtyard and at Lafayette General Hospital for the care and service provided to Weasie during
her illness. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the COPD Foundation or the
American Lung Association . A Memorial Service was held Thursday, April 25, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. at St.

herself. Loving wife of Robert O. Cramer III for 35 years. Devoted mother of Michelle Cramer. Sister
of Sylvia Spilmann, Kathleen Ackerman, James Manning and the late Mary Martin, Michael Manning and
Patrick Manning. Also survived by numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, extended family and

health issues, she was willing to give her all to help others. A very independent woman, with strong
values and an excellent role model. A special thanks to the staff of Abita Square Dialysis, St.
Tammany Hosp., Lakeview Regional, Regency and many doctors for taking care of her just as she had

could be. Barbara will be greatly missed. In lieu of flowers, please donate in her honor to the Lupus

his father David, and baby brother Brennan. Logan is also survived by paternal grandparents George and
Irma Cry of Slidell, and Charles and Cathy Marshall of Akron. He also leaves several aunts, uncles,
cousins, and friends. In 2005 when Logan's mother Jaymee married David Cry, Logan became a member of a
Slidell family that cherished him. Logan always had a precocious smile, a loving heart, and wonderful
attitude. When ALD began to take hold in 2010, Logan was a brave soul. He attended Boyet Jr. High
where he loved his teachers and enjoyed his classmates. The past two years have been a constant
struggle for Logan. By no fault of his own, ALD took things from him that no child should lose.
Throughout it all, he maintained courage and joy. The last words that Logan ever spoke were, I love
you mommy. A private service will be held to honor Logan's memory. The family asks that donations be

000276 DIXON SANDRA HAMPTON STANFIELD DIXON, 6-19-40 to 4/5/13 Born in Augusta, Georgia had resided
in Slidell, LA for the past 30 years. Before leaving Georgia, she attended Valdosta State College.
Preceded in death by her husband David Clinton Dixon, she leaves two much loved sons, Kenneth Richard
Dixon of Hattiesburg, MS and Steven David Dixon, of Slidell, LA as well as two beloved daughters-in-
law, Victoria Gassen Dixon and Colleen McKelvey Dixon. The love of her life was her four
grandchildren, Amber Marie Dixon, David Paul Dixon and Mikhail Katau Dixon and Christian Robert Dixon.
In a time when women were just beginning to enter the business world, Sandy became a successful real
estate broker, co-owner and president of Distinctive Real Estate, Inc. for 22 years. She was most
recently an associate broker with Distinctive Real Estate, Inc., providing her clients with the most
professional advice and counsel. In 1997 she was chosen as Small Business Person of the Year for the
Greater Metropolitan New Orleans area. A former Laubach adult tutor, she was also a CASA (Court
Appointed Special Advocate) and a board member of the Slidell Art League. In her younger years, Sandy
was an avid scuba diver, and traveled extensively. A lover of reading and a member of The CLUB (Classy
Ladies Understanding Books) she also enjoyed fishing, boating, bridge, art and watercolor painting. So
patient, Sandy brought out the best in people, inspiring them to achieve more than they believed
possible. A bit of a philosopher, she loved sharing her open-minded views with her friends. She was
an angel to many people with a heart as big as all Louisiana, going out of her way to befriend anyone
in need. She has finally gathered sufficient feathers to complete her angel wings! To say that she
will be greatly missed is an understatement. Relatives and friends of the family are invited to

000347 FAVARON Roberta Mae Cullen Favaron The world is a little less bright today for the family and
friends of Roberta Mae Cullen Favaron, who passed quietly at her daughter's home in Mississippi. She
was 91 years young. She spent her early years in Avoyelles Parish then moved to New Orleans with her
parents Dave and Elodie Cullen during the years of the Great War. One of nine children, she was raised
in a loving and close-knit family. Roberta was taught the importance of family ties and patriotic duty
by her parents, two traits she held close to her heart and instilled in her own children. Married to
her childhood sweetheart Joseph T. Favaron on November 7, 1946, she served as a devoted army wife for
22 years and never remarried. After her husband's retirement, they returned to New Orleans and she
began a successful career with Grady Harper Real Estate that spanned 25 years. Roberta is survived by
two daughters, Monica Ann Friedrichs and Linda Meyer Teague both of New Orleans; five grandchildren:
David Paul Roy, Monique Roy Cooper, William Hirstius, Kimberly Hirstius Fraysier and Richard
Friedrichs, Jr.; seven great grandchildren: Blaze and Skylar Fraysier, Sarah Ann Cooper, Austin and
Jordan Friedrichs, Cullen and Grayson Hirstius. Roberta has left behind one beloved sister, Elsie
"Dee" Cullen Celestin and one best friend sister-in-law, Virginia Aucoin Cullens. She was preceded in
death by sisters Annie Mary Juneau and Mabel Redmon of Bunkie, LA, Velma Turner of Evergreen, LA and
Zula Goodwin of Metairie, LA; also brothers Eric "Buddy" Cullen of Jefferson, LA, Curtis Cullen of
Addis, LA and Joseph Elton "Frizz" Cullens of Metairie, LA. Roberta helped in the war effort as a
volunteer for the American Red Cross in New Orleans and served as a streetcar motorette during World
War II. She was charitable. Much of her charitable work was through the Lakeside Lioness Club where
she was a member for many years, serving as both president and secretary. She received the
distinguished Melvin Jones Award in 1997. Roberta never met a stranger. She was kind. No one ever
came to her for help and went away empty-handed. She was the rock of her family; quick to give of
herself but even quicker to bristle at injustice or wrongdoing. As an army wife she traveled
extensively; moving her family every year was just a fact of life whether in the US or abroad.
Regardless of the living conditions, she always made a home of warmth for her family and like-situated
friends were always welcome. She was honest to a fault and demanded the same in others. As a mother,
wife, sister or friend, Roberta was always at the ready to help and viciously loyal to those she
loved. She was quick to give of herself and free with her advice, solicited or not. She was the moral
barometer of her whole family. Anyone who met her knew immediately that before them stood a woman of
integrity and great insight. She loved well and will be greatly missed by all who were lucky enough to
know her. Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend the Funeral Mass at LAKE LAWN
METAIRIE FUNERAL HOME, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd. in New Orleans, LA, on Friday, April 12, 2013 at 1:00

000427 GRIMES Ruth Kramer Grimes passed away on Thursday, April 25, 2013 at home. She was born October
28, 1928 in Little Rock, AR., a daughter of the late William Simon and Carolyn Whitmore Kramer. She
was the middle of three sisters who excelled in all athletic venues, especially swimming and diving.
At twelve years of age she lied about her age to get a job to help with family finances. The money she
earned was always shared with family and friends. Even at this early age Ruth loved doing special
things for others. Ruthie has "as she always said" been lucky to live in New Orleans for 60 years and
work in real estate for 50 of those years. She was affiliated with several real estate agencies before
finding a home at Latter and Blum Inc. Through hard work, fair and honest dealing, Ruthie rose to the
top echelon of her field receiving "Top of the Latter" status so many years that she was permanently
inducted into this elite club as a lifetime member. She was top sales and listing agent in the greater
New Orleans area for several years and was awarded the Realtor Emeritus award for 40 cumulative years
of membership in the National Association of Realtors. Her job was her "joy" and many of her clients
and colleagues became lifelong friends. She provided a matchmaking service for several of her single
clients by selling them a house and then introducing them to their future spouses. She mentored many
of her colleagues, always willing to share her knowledge with new agents to help them succeed. Ruth
was the ultimate team player. Ruthie was an active member of the Women's Auxiliary of the New Orleans
Geologic Society having been a past president. She also held memberships at "Friends of the Cabildo",
"Audubon Zoo and Aquarium", NOMA and the WWII museum having been a child of "the greatest generation"
and a widow of one who served. Ruthie was generous to a fault. She was always ready with a cake, a
meal, a basket of fruit or a shoulder to lean or cry on during troubling times. She was loved and
admired her family and friends for living life to the fullest. She is survived by her loving daughters
Gigi Grimes (Baton Rouge, LA), Jill Grimes Johnson, son-in-law Steve Johnson, granddaughter Abbey Ruth
Johnson (Chicago, IL) and sisters and brother-in-law Charlotte Garber, and Rosalind and Myron Stone of
Massachusetts. She is preceded in death by her husband of 51 years Wayne Harlan Grimes. Family and
friends are invited to attend a gathering in her honor at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home, 5100

Hearty on April 21, 1928, in New Orleans, LA. After a lengthy illness, Patrick departed this life on
Saturday, April 13, 2013 at the age of 84. Married to his loving wife Jeanette Mathews Hearty for 63
years, he leaves to cherish his memory his much loved children: James Hearty, Susan Hearty, Jeanne
Hearty and daughter-in-law Cathy Hearty. Pa-pa will be greatly missed by his treasured grandchildren:
Patrick Johnson, Matthew Johnson, Kelly Hearty Perret (Greg), Kaitlyn Hearty, Gabrielle Cashio, and
great grandchildren: Carter Johnson and Giada Istre and sister Jackie Stretz, and a host of nieces,

retired in 1983 as a Chief Marine Engineer for the Military Sealift Command, United States Navy, after
37 ½ years of service. He then worked 10 years as a Chief Engineer for the New Orleans Paddlewheels.

such as supervising the construction of a Naval Oceanographic ship in Glasgow, Scotland, on which he
was to serve as the Chief Engineer; drilling for ice cores in Thule, Greenland; flying to London to
bring to the United States a Fleet Supply Ship to be refitted as a supply ship for aircraft carriers

greatly missed, but leaves us with wonderful and endearing memories. Relatives and friends are invited

roles for the station. He joined Channel 4 after leaving WVUE after having worked there over 40 years;
he also worked in a number of roles, including staff announcer, weathercaster, producer and director.
Mr. Herrera's voice was very familiar to TV viewers as an announcer, working for a variety of clients
and stations over the years. Recently, that list included WYES-TV, which features Herrera's voice at
the start of episodes of it's new Chef John Besh cooking series, which premiered just this past
weekend. Some of his past commercial clients include: Whitney National Bank, Ruth's Chris Steakhouse,
Godchaux's, Maison Blanche, and Louisiana Power and Light. As well, he worked as a voice over

000591 KOMIDOR John Rudolph Komidor of Covington, LA, passed away peacefully in his sleep on April 10,
2013. John was the beloved husband of the late Carol Ball Komidor and is survived by his children
Susan Marie Komidor and John R. "Kip" Komidor III; grandchildren Kelly Bratton Guilbert (Neill), Katie
Komidor Williams (Perry), Holly Bratton Edwards (Edwin), and John R. "Kyle" Komidor IV; and his dearly
cherished great-grandchildren Neill McMilllan "Mackey" Guilbert and Abigail Ann Komidor. John was born
on August 24, 1924 in New Orleans. After serving in the US Coast Guard during World War II, John
married Carol (whom he lovingly aggravated everyday of their 62 year marriage). John and Carol raised
two kids, Susan and Kip, in Metairie before moving to Covington in 1968. After more than forty years
of living on the Northshore, he still traveled to the city for his weekly "Breakfast Club" meetings
where he would hold court with his cronies at the Peppermill restaurant spending hours debating
politics, religion, current events and the 'Aints. In his spare time, John was a successful real
estate broker and the owner of Region Realty. John had incredible pride in his family, most especially
his four grandchildren, Kelly, Holly, Katie and Kyle who all graduated from LSU. He felt blessed to
see all three of his granddaughters get married and to meet two great grandchildren who brought him
immense joy. John was extremely well-rounded for an octogenarian. He fancied himself a "non-
professional" journalist, sending out countless emails detailing his thoughts as "quips" on everything
from the beauty of our world's natural wonders to the great incompetency of the current Administration
(those of which he always included state Senators and Bill O'Reilly to his distribution). John was
also an avid inventor and talented graphic designer. One of his latest designs was adopted as the logo
for the annual Christian Brothers Foundation/Pete Fountain charity golf tournament. His antics will be
long remembered and greatly missed, but will remain a wonderful source of laughter and comfort to
those who will miss him most. Services will be held at St. Joseph's Abby on Thursday, April 18 at
2:00pm. In lieu of flowers, his family asks you consider a donation to one of the charities he
devotedly supported, Christian Brothers School Foundation of New Orleans and St. Jude Children's
Research Hospital . Times picayune 4/17/2013

000592 KRUSE Frank Albert Kruse, Jr. June 7, 1928-April 4, 2013 Frank Albert Kruse, Jr., 84, of Lanier
Village Estates, Gainesville, GA passed away on Thursday, April 4, 2013 at Northeast Georgia Medical
Center, Gainesville. Born on June 7, 1928 in New Orleans, LA, Frank attended New Orleans Academy. He
received a BS degree from Loyola University of the South and a DDS degree from Loyola Dental School.
Upon graduation from dental school he went into private dental practice with his uncle. Shortly
thereafter Frank applied for a commission in the US Navy, in lieu of being drafted. He was sent to
Great Lakes, IL as a Lieutenant Junior Grade for training. After several months he was transferred to
the Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton, CA, where he assumed duties as a dental surgeon on account of his
extensive training at Loyola. He was then transferred to Korea, where for two years he served as a
dental surgeon attached to the Second Marine Division. Upon his discharge in 1953, Frank received the
honor of being awarded the Medal of Commendation for exceptional service while with the Marines in
Korea. Frank then resumed private practice in New Orleans, where he practiced for nearly fifty years.
During that time he was active in the New Orleans Dental Association, where he served as Treasurer and
later, President. He was also a member of the Louisiana Dental Association, the American Dental
Association, the Exchange Club of New Orleans, Kosmos Lodge #171, Free and Accepted Masons, and
Dorians Carnival Organization. On one occasion in the 1990s Frank reigned as King of the Dorians Mardi
Gras Ball. Frank also served on several boards while a member of the Munholland United Methodist
Church. Frank was preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Eunice Kruse, and his older sister,
Carol Kruse Donelon. He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Sheila; two sons, Dr. Frank A. "Chip"
Kruse III (Tracy) and Stephen A. Kruse (Christi); daughter, Julie Goerke (Jeffrey); three
grandchildren, Cameron Kruse, Mackenzie Kruse and Jeffrey Goerke; and niece, Trudy Pattison. Sheila
and Frank lived in New Orleans for 25 years before moving a short distance to Mandeville, LA and then
to Madisonville, LA. They moved to Lanier Village Estates (LVE) on June 26, 2010. Frank's hobbies were
gardening, golf, fishing, and cooking. He became interested in Bonsai after moving to LVE and acquired
quite a collection, which he cared for lovingly. He was quite creative in making things using wine
corks, and was sometimes called "The Cork Man." Frank also became interested in working with stained
glass. He was very competitive, whether he was playing hearts, or Chinese Checkers with his
granddaughters. For several years Frank bravely endured pulmonary fibrosis, but he is now resting
comfortably in his heavenly home. Memorial Services for Frank will be held on Saturday, April 20, 2013
at 2:00 pm in the Chapel at LVE. Dr. Terry Walton of Gainesville First United Methodist Church will
officiate with the Rev. Richard Evans, LVE Chaplain. The family will have a reception after the
Memorial Service in the LVE Auditorium. In lieu of flowers the family has asked that memorial
contributions be made to Hospice of Northeast Georgia Medical Center; 2150 Limestone Pkwy.;

for Cale Anthony Langlinais, age 5, at 3:30 pm on Friday, April 12, 2013 at Our Lady of the Lake
Catholic Church. Fr. Herb Bennerfield will be the celebrant. Music selections will be provided by
Bridget Touchet and accompanied by Manique LeBlanc on the organ. Readings will be proclaimed by
Michelle Langlinais and Shandi Romero. Gift bearers will be Michelle Lopez, Linzi Bowman and Brant
Langlinais. Interment will follow at Our Lady of the Lake Mausoleum. A gathering of family and
friends will be held at Evangeline Funeral Home on Friday April 12, 2013 from 7:00 a.m. until time of
services, with a Rosary being recited at 11:00 a.m. by family friend Peggy Broussard and again at 2:00
p.m. by Terry Dore'. Cale was born on December 12, 2007, in Lafayette and lived his short life
outside of Erath. Cale received his angel wings on Wednesday, April 10, 2013 at 9:14 am at Tulane
University Hospital in New Orleans surrounded by his family and friends after a lengthy battle with
leukemia. Cale's life would seem too short to many, but those who were touched by him understood that
his quality of existence far exceeded the quantity of time he lived here on Earth. His beautiful blue
eyes and gentle smile could melt the hearts of many, but it was his well versed stories and his
knowledge about his experiences in life that he shared with others, that made him so special. He had a
genuine love and deep passion for tractors, especially the "green ones," that captivated anyone who
would listen. He loved going places with his dad, riding his toy gators, being outdoors, riding in the
fields on the tractors with his Binky, and he enjoyed barbecuing chicken legs and wings on his very
own pit. With Cale's passing, he taught us all on his journey to value what is important in
life…family. He taught us to live in the moment. He has left us marked by his courage, bravery,
determination and undying strength even during his darkest of days. It is through his teachings about
life that we were able to create so many wonderful memories. He will always remain a hero to all of us
and will forever remain in our hearts. Looking back over the last three years, Cale has indeed
touched so many lives. So much is owed to so many. These words are testaments to the tremendous
support he received. Countless acts of prayer, kindness and caring will endure forever. It is a
constant reminder of how important even our smallest actions can be to others. He is survived by his
parents, Chad and Jenee Delcambre Langlinais; a special brother and hero, Dane Elec Langlinais; his
maternal grandparents, Irvin "Jeffery" and Jeanette Suire Delcambre; paternal grandparents, Benson and
Constance Vice Langlinais; his great-grandparents, Norvin and Gloridean Hebert Langlinais and Rodney
and Mary Migues LeMaire; his godparents, Brant Langlinais (Michelle Duffourc) and Michelle Delcambre
Lopez (Jake); his aunt Linzi Langlinais Bowman (Adam); his cousins Ford Langlinais, Colin Babineaux,
Jye Lopez, and Marielle Lopez; and his special extended family, Rory and Bonnie Delcambre and family,
the LeMaire family and a host of great uncles and aunts and their children. He was preceded in death
by his uncle, Jeffrey "Brud" Delcambre. Serving as pallbearers will be Brant Langlinais, Jake Lopez,
Brian Touchard and Adam Bowman. Honorary pallbearers will be Rory Delcambre, Reece Blakely, Michael
Blakely, Cody Trahan, Murray Landry, Chip Landry, Ryan Romero, Tilford Langlinais, Justin Langlinais
and David Langlinais. Cale's family would like to acknowledge his hospital family at Tulane; all of
his special nurses and all the wonderful staff. There will always be a special place in our heart for
Dr. Julie Kanter-Washko, Dr. Tammuella Singleton, Dr. Rishikesh Chavan, and Dr. Dinesh Singh. It is
because of their dedication, love, and support that Cale was able to survive some of his toughest
medical challenges. In lieu of flowers, please consider making donations in Cale's name to, The JL

000617 LAWRENCE Francis Leo Lawrence died peacefully following an illness on April 16, 2013, at his
home in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, with his beloved wife of 54 years, Mary Kay, and his daughter,
Naomi, by his side. He was 75 years old. "Fran", as he was known by all, was born in 1937 in
Woonsocket, Rhode Island, the fifth child and only son of Anthony and Eldora Lawrence. He attended
Mount Saint Charles High School where he played hockey and was a star pitcher on the baseball team. He
was inducted into the Mount Saint Charles Hall of Fame in 2005. He attended St. Louis University where
he met his future wife, Mary Kay, at the beginning of his freshman year. Fran received his bachelor's
degree in French and Spanish from St. Louis University in 1959 and his Ph.D. in French Classical
Literature from Tulane University in 1962. He rose through Tulane's academic and administrative ranks
to full professor, chairman of the French and Italian department, Dean of Newcomb College, Dean of the
Graduate School and Provost. In 1990, he was appointed president of Rutgers, the state university of
New Jersey. Among his many accomplishments as president of Rutgers included: a strategic plan to
further excellence in learning, research, and service; the first university-wide curriculum committee
assembled in over two decades to evaluate Rutgers' general education curriculum and to make
recommendations that would focus the curriculum on the beginning of the 21st Century; Learning
Resource Centers on each campus to help students achieve their greatest potential, and Teaching
Excellence Centers on each campus to assist faculty in their classroom work; the RUNet 2000 project,
which realized the goal of a fully wired campus and transformed teaching, research, and outreach at
Rutgers; community service initiatives, including the Adult Lifelong Learning program, now known as
the Osher Institute; programs in the arts, music, and theater such as the Mason Gross School of the
Arts' Rutgers in New York series, which exposed Rutgers artists to one of the world's most important
cultural environments; the hugely successful Rutgers Campaign: Creating the Future Today, which raised
75 percent of its goal within the first 42 months and would far surpass its goal, raising more than
$600 million; Rutgers' evolution as a global force in education, with new connections in Namibia,
South Africa, Hungary, Ireland, Poland, France, Italy, and the Netherlands. In 2002, he announced his
plan to return to academia and became a Rutgers University Professor. While on the Rutgers faculty, he
authored Leadership in Higher Education: Views from the Presidency, a collection of interviews with
presidents and chancellors of leading universities. Fran's career and academic accomplishments were
stellar, but he was most proud of his family -- his four sisters: Dorothy (deceased), Juliette Bernier
(Leo), Madeline Nasuti (Joey) and Sr. Theresa Lawrence; his children: Elizabeth Lawrence (deceased),
Dr. Christopher Lawrence (Linda), Dr. Naomi Lawrence (Jerry Franz), and Jennifer Lawrence (Rick
Torres); and his thirteen grandchildren: Joshua, Benjamin and Mary Elizabeth Hurley; Jeremy Bazile;
Jeffrey, Gary and Kelsey Lawrence; Michael, Mark and Lucas Franz; and Isabel, Jacob and Marisol
Torres. Fran loved playing, coaching and watching baseball. The Boston Red Sox were a passion of his
since childhood. One of his favorite souvenirs was a letter from the New York Yankees requesting his
presence at their tryouts, which, out of loyalty to the Red Sox, he did not attend. In his earlier
years, Fran coached baseball at the Carrollton Boosters Club in New Orleans, leading his son Chris'
eleven year old team to a City Championship. In his later years, Fran coached his New Jersey
grandsons' little league baseball teams in Mount Laurel. Fran also enjoyed playing baseball and
softball throughout his entire life. He was a member of an "old timers'" softball league until the age
of 72, and the week before he died, he was throwing a tennis ball with the same technique and
precision as he had thrown a baseball when he was younger. Fran and the absolute love of his life,
Mary Kay, were married for 54 wonderful years. They took great joy in attending every sporting event,
recital, graduation, and first communion for their grandkids. Fran will be remembered for his energy,
dedication, integrity, and his particularly booming laugh. He grew beautiful roses, was an excellent
house painter, and told fabulous, if slightly embellished, stories to his grandchildren when they were
young, mostly about his childhood dog, Trixie. Most of all, his family loved him very, very much and
will miss him even more. A Memorial Service will be held on Sunday April 28th at 9:00 a.m. at the
Kirkpatrick Chapel at Rutgers University, 83 Somerset Street, New Brunswick, New Jersey 08901.
Donations may be made in his memory to the Keck Center for Collaborative Neuroscience, The Spinal Cord

000618 LE ROUGE Olive Le Rouge, departed this life on Sunday, April 21, 2013. A life-long New Orleans
resident who did much to help others in need, died of natural causes on Sunday at her home on General
Pershing St. She was 89 years old. Affectionately known as "Honey," she was, according to her daughter
Pat Jolly, "a beautiful human being." A former Navy nurse during World War II, Honey dedicated her
life to being of service. Her church volunteer work included Home Bound, a program she created and ran
for three decades. She recruited 30 people to bring literature to elderly shut ins, provide assistance
with simple errands and spend time visiting with those in need of friendship. She also devoted her
time to providing recreational opportunities to mentally challenged children by utilizing her church's
gym and she helped serve an orphanage the church sponsored. When Honey learned that seasonal employees
of the Fair Grounds were given inadequate living conditions, she organized a church effort to provide
home-cooked meals and sponsor outreach gatherings. Despite being bound to a wheel chair in her later
years, Honey remained a dedicated Mardi Gras parade-goer. As an "all day every dayer" at Jazz Fest for
more than three decades, she reigned from the same spot at the Economy Hall tent as a sort of "queen
of the scene," according to her daughter: "Many of our friends and most of the musicians would stop by
for a hug or kiss and a little visit, when time allowed." Beloved mother of Patricia "Pat" Booth
Jolly; Grandmother of Patrick Scott Jolly, Jennifer Jolly Tallo and Judd Caldwell Jolly; Also survived
by five great grandchildren and her two dogs; Daughter of the late Irene Wilder Wilkins and Jerome

000647 LINK Margaret Anne Link, 65 years old, passed away on April 4, 2013, after a battle with
breast cancer. She is survived by a loving family including her mother, Sally Moore Barnes Link, her
brother, Robert Barnes Link, his wife Charlotte Ward Link and her niece and nephew, Jessica and
Benjamin Link. She is also survived by her loving first cousins Sallie Simpson of Winston Salem NC as
well as Tucker Barnes, Julie Morrison, and Debbie Dijulio of Seattle WA. Margaret, a New Orleans
native who was smart, spontaneous and eccentric, often reminisced about her "idyllic" childhood
growing up in Gentilly. Her father, the late Rev. Albert B Link, passed away in 1986 but remained,
along with her mother, a special and enduring inspiration throughout her life. Shortly after receiving
a B.A. in psychology from the University of New Orleans, Margaret worked teaching piano in a special
education environment. She moved from that position to offering private piano lessons for many years,
developing close and long lasting relationships with her students and their families. In difficult
times, Margaret's mother was supportive above and beyond the call of duty, and when her mother became
ill with Alzheimer's, Margaret loved and cared for her daily and with unlimited devotion. She
continued to make friends wherever she went - at the bookstore where she read aloud to her mother or
at the nursing home where she would always say a kind word or hold the hand of other residents who
appeared lonely or forgotten. Margaret was dearly loved and her passing has left an empty place in our
hearts that cannot be filled. A Graveside Service will be held at Garden of Memories Cemetery, 4900
Airline Drive in Metairie on Saturday, April 13, 2013 at 2 pm for family and friends. The online

000728 MILLER Shifra Ruth Broida Miller, age 89, passed away in Bellingham at Silverado Senior Care,
Wednesday, April 3, 2013, at 1:21 AM, exactly six years to the day after her husband of 62 years,
Marvin Fred Miller passed away. Shifra is survived by two sisters, Mildred and Ellen; her four
children, Jeffrey, (Lisa), Dennis, (Susan), Leslie, (Curtis), and Naomi, (Gary); three granddaughters,
Alissa, (Ted), Leah, (Kris) and Hanna, and three great grandchildren, Zach, Lily, Briella and Joshua.
Shifra led a very full life, growing up in Chicago, marrying Marvin, getting her Bachelor's and
Master's Degrees and becoming a career woman while raising her four children. She spoke French and
Spanish and traveled widely with Marvin, even living in Paris, France for a year in the mid-1950s.
Later she and Marvin were among the first Americans to visit China in the early 1970s, eventually
leading tour groups there. For five years In the 1980s they lived in Christchurch, New Zealand. They
traveled the world and collected art wherever they went. Shifra was a woman who felt strongly about
various causes and acted on those feelings. She was a civil rights leader in New Orleans and
participated in early public school integration efforts. She founded and directed the LSU Therapeutic
Nursery School for autistic children. She was an avid letter-to-the-editor writer and active in the
community in many ways. She often supported causes that later became mainstream, when few initially
did. She spoke her mind to anyone she felt needed to hear it. Shifra was a life-long learner, a
discoverer, an advocate, a pioneer. She was always eager to expand her knowledge and share information
that she knew would be beneficial for others, whether it be about a nutritional supplement, Irlen
Lenses for Scotopic Sensitivity, the evils of refined sugar, an exciting new political candidate,
awareness of an oppressed minority, the benefits of vitamin therapy, another beautiful part of the
planet she and Marv had visited, a great new film, and so much more. She was an avid reader and kept a
journal of her own reviews, written in shorthand, so she could tell you what she thought about any
book she had read over many years. She was also an author, having written an autobiography that is
currently available at the Bellingham, WA public library. Music was a big part of her life and the
lives of her children. She played piano and one of her favorite things was to have two of her children
sitting next to her on the piano bench singing along while she played songs from various collections,
like English and American folk songs. She was an amateur songwriter; the sheet music of her song "The
Bird is on the Wing" lived for years in the archives of her piano bench and still does in the minds of
her children. She loved opera. She would borrow the next opera in the local season series from the
public library and the house would be filled with beautiful music for weeks before the concert. After
big arias Shifra's voice could be heard above the applause expressing some of the most enthusiastic
"bravos." Shifra was a very special woman. We feel very lucky to have known and loved her. If you feel
moved to make a donation in her name, please choose a charity or cause that you know she would
support. Times picayune 4/12/2013

000734 MITCHELL JAMES L. MITCHELL, JR. 1950-2013 James Leonard Mitchell, Jr. passed away peacefully on
March 13, 2013. Born to Mildred and James Mitchell on January 20, 1950, Jim was raised in New Orleans,
and the vibe of the Big Easy stayed with him throughout his life. Though he lived and taught in many
different places over the years, New Orleans was always the place he considered home. Jim graduated
with honors from De La Salle High School in 1967 before going off to college at Louisiana State
University. He received his MA from Duke University in 1973. As a high school history teacher, Jim
made a difference in the lives of students at Booker T. Washington High School (Norfolk, VA), Maury
High School (Norfolk, VA), Granby High School (Virginia Beach, VA), Seton Academy (New Orleans, LA),
Lecanto High School (Lecanto, FL), and Gulf Breeze High School (Gulf Breeze, FL). Jim had a passion
for teaching and a knack for making students feel special. His students responded to his sense of
humor and respected his vast knowledge. He was voted Teacher of the Year at Seton Academy in 1986, and
again at Lecanto High School in 1987. In addition to teaching, he also coached volleyball, basketball,
tennis, football, softball, and soccer. He served as the sponsor for the National Honor Society, Quiz
Bowl, and yearbook. Jim loved to travel. He believed "the journey is the destination" and this led him
all over the United States. He was a huge fan of Duke University--especially during basketball season!
He enjoyed gadgets and goofy toys that were scattered all over his classrooms during his teaching
years. He was an avid reader. He had two rescued dogs that he loved dearly, Rou and Buddy. Jim was
preceded in death by his father, James Mitchell, Sr. He leaves behind to miss him his mother, Mildred
Mitchell, and his sisters, Susan Rubick, Anne (Bobby) Doll, and Lynn (Patrick) Mier. Rebecca, Lisa
(OLG), Bo, Kristin, Kyle, Robby, Parrish, Lulu, and Rachael are nieces and nephews he loved very much.
His Genie and his Citrus County family are also left heartbroken by his loss. He leaves a legacy of
caring in the lives of all the students he taught over the years, and a deep void in the lives of
those who loved and knew him best. Jim had a big, generous heart and shared anything he had with
anyone who needed it. He would be honored if memorial contributions were made to The Humane Society
for the care of abandoned or abused animals. Though he is missed beyond measure, those left behind are
comforted with the knowledge that Jim's beautiful spirit is finally at peace. Times picayune 4/10/2013

000773 OCHSNER Dr. M. Gage Ochsner, Jr. died peacefully at home on Friday morning with loved ones
surrounding him. He was 59 years old. Gage loved life and lived it to it's fullest. He fought a
tremendous battle and finally succumbed to lung cancer. He was born in New Orleans, LA to Dr. Mims
Gage Ochsner, Sr. and Paddy Cousins Ochsner. He spent his youth living in New Orleans, Japan,
Virginia, and Tulsa, OK. In 1975, he graduated from Southern Methodist University with a BA degree in
Chemistry. He completed his medical school education at Tulane University in 1979. During his medical
school years he was awarded the United States Naval Reserve Health Professions Scholarship. He
completed a surgical internship at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, MD. He completed his
residency in surgery at the Naval Regional Medical Center in San Diego, CA. In 1985, Dr. Ochsner then
became the Chief of General Surgery and Director of Intensive Care at the Naval Hospital at Subic Bay,
Philippines. From 1988-1990, he completed a fellowship in Trauma Critical Care at the Washington
Hospital Center under the tutelage of his longtime friend and colleague Dr. Howard Champion. Following
his fellowship training he stayed on there to become an attending surgeon in trauma critical care and
an Associate Professor of Surgery. In 1994, Dr. Ochsner was recruited by Dr. Carl Boyd to come to
Savannah, Georgia to become Chief of Trauma and Surgical Critical Care at Memorial Health University
Hospital. He became a full Professor of Surgery, and was then appointed as Academic Chairman of the
Mercer University School of Medicine Department of Surgery in 2011. He continued to hold all of these
positions until his death. He retired from the US Naval Reserve as a Captain (O6) serving 15 years
active duty and 7 years in the Reserve. Dr. Ochsner served on numerous surgical society boards of
directors and played a leadership role in many national surgical organizations. He was the president
of the Ambrose Pare Society, the president of the Western Trauma Association, the president of the
Georgia Surgical Society, the vice president of The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma,
the vice president of the Southeastern Surgical Congress, and was the Secretary Treasurer of the
Georgia Surgical Society. Dr. Ochsner authored more than 50 peer reviewed scientific publications and
contributed eleven book chapters in major texts on trauma surgery. He was the principal investigator
on four grant-funded studies at Memorial Health and directed fifteen separate educational courses in
Savannah. During his tenure at Memorial Health University Hospital, Dr. Ochsner grew the Trauma
Service from 900 admissions per year to 2,700 admissions per year, developed a respected and admired
surgical critical care service, developed an Orthopedic Trauma Service, and expanded the full time
Trauma Faculty from 3 to 9 surgeons. He served as president of the medical staff of Memorial Health in
2010 and 2011. He played a major role in the development of the statewide Georgia Trauma System. He
received many awards and accolades including the Memorial Health Lifetime Achievement Award and the
Georgia Medical Society Health Hero Award. A generous grant was donated in his name to develop the M.
Gage Ochsner Institute for Injury Research and Prevention. Gage met his wife, best friend, and soul
mate while they were both stationed in San Diego. They traveled together, hunted and fished together,
and loved each other dearly until his last breath. He was a woodsman and a lover of the outdoors. Gage
was passionate about hunting and fly-fishing, and raised his children to appreciate the same. He
enjoyed his garden of home grown vegetables, jalapeno peppers, and citrus trees. He also enjoyed
grilling self-cut rib eyes, spending time with good friends, cold drip coffee, and a quality single
malt scotch. His most important accomplishment though, was the raising of his family. Gage was a
gentle soul, and no one understood this more than his beloved Jack Russell Terriers, Tess and
Charlotte. He was an active member of St. Thomas Episcopal Church. He is survived by his wife of 27
years, Judy Rochelle Ochsner, his daughter, Julia Katherine Ochsner of Chicago, and his two sons, Mims
G. Ochsner, III (Trey) and Matthew Cousins Ochsner, both of Savannah. He is also survived by his
mother, Paddy Cousins Ochsner, his sisters, Laura Ochsner and Corrine Ochsner Dalby, all of Tulsa, OK,

000821 PLEASONTON Anna Klein Pleasonton (b. July 30, 1931) died of cancer on Saturday, April 13, 2013
in Lima, Peru. Anna was born in a German-Jewish family in Dusseldorf. Shortly after Hitler's rise to
power in 1933, she fled with her sister and parents to Paris. The family remained in France until
after the liberation from the Nazis. In 1946, they moved to Lima, Peru, to join her paternal
grandparents, saved from Theresienstadt in 1941 by her uncle Erich Klein. In 1953 she traveled to the
US after completing a degree in Library Sciences. She earned her BA in Library Studies at Hunter
college in New York, an MA in Speech Therapy from Northwestern University in Evanston, and a PhD in
Audiology from LSU. She settled in New Orleans in 1961 and worked as a speech therapist for the school
district until her retirement in 1991. She married Alfred Pleasonton (d. 2011) in 1962; they were
divorced in 1982. In 2007 she moved to Lima, Peru, to live near her sister Eva Klein Zighelboim. She
led an active life in Lima until February 2013, when cancer forced her to stay in bed until her death.
Anna considered New Orleans her home. During her nearly 50 years in the city, she was actively
involved in its social, cultural, and political life. She was a committed member of the Unitarian
Universalist church in Lakeview, the Sierra Club, the League of Women Voters, Servas, and other
organizations. Besides working for the Orleans parish school district, Anna taught audiology at LSU
and Dominican. After her retirement, she directed a section of the STAIR reading program. She
remembered fondly the first editions of Jazz Fest, and was a lover of the southern Louisiana landscape
and culture. She became a Master Gardener and did volunteer work for the Audubon Zoo and City Park.
She also found time and energy to travel and work in Peru, Namibia and Japan. Her favorite hobby was
mushroom hunting, and she was a member of several mycological associations and participated in several
mushroom field trips to Mexico. She is survived by her sister Eva, her niece, four nephews, nine
grandnephews, and countless friends in New Orleans and around the world. Times picayune 4/19/2013

her education. She completed Hauffman Elementary, McDonogh #35 High School and New Orleans
University/Straight College, presently Dillard University Class of 1925. Irene returned to Bayou

000917 SALLINGER Yvonne Claire Blanchard Sallinger, 81, died peacefully surrounded by her children on
Tuesday, April 17, 2013 in Bay St. Louis. A longtime resident of the Gulf Coast, she was known to many
as the first and only call to make when planning a wedding. Her expertise was in demand long after
Hurricane Katrina shuttered her bridal shop, Bridalaire. Her floral design skills were renowned at Our
Lady of the Gulf Catholic Church, where she was responsible for memorable holiday décor for decades.
She was first and foremost a devoted mother and grandmother, the first to arrive and the last to leave
in a time of need. While at home with small children she led various parent-teacher organizations and
garden clubs before entering the workforce as an assistant to the principal of St. Stanislaus College
in the 1970's. As a young graduate of The Academy of the Sacred Heart in New Orleans, she was an
executive assistant at 20th Century Fox. She met the love of her life, Richard Joseph Sallinger, in
1950. They moved from New Orleans with four young children in 1964. She lost him too soon in early
1988. She was also preceded in death by her parents, Edward and Eugenie Blanchard. Survivors include
four children; son, Barry J. (Marie) Sallinger of Lafayette, LA, three daughters, Janet S. McQueen of
Montgomery, AL, Lori S. (Rodney) Fisher of Pass Christian, MS, and Fran S. (Ellis) Seal of Bay St.
Louis, MS; three sisters Evelyn (Burton) Faucheux of New Orleans, LA, Beverly (Charles) Mooney of

000938 SERIFF Sue, "Sookie" Weinberger Seriff, 83, of Austin, Texas, passed away peacefully on April
11, 2013, with her husband and children at her side. Sookie was born in St. Louis, Missouri and spent
most of her life in New Orleans and Austin, Texas. She was a loving, passionate and proud woman; proud
to be a wife and mother, proud to be Jewish, and proud to be a Texan. Sookie knew the power and love
of a strong Jewish community and worked her entire life to share this philosophy with others. Sookie
remains revered for her lasting impact on the Jewish community, reshaping it and expanding public
identities for Jewish women. She was a lifetime member of Hadassah and of the National Council of
Jewish Women, where she was recently honored for her work. She was a devoted member of Congregation
Agudas Achim for 27 years, establishing the Weinberger Cantorial Fund and helping build the community.
An interior designer, she had a special way of using art, heart and a profound intelligence to
revitalize everything and everyone around her, writing and producing, for example, a musical to raise
money for the construction of the New Agudas Achim. She also worked with Jewish war veterans and
decorated the veteran's clinic in Austin. An incredibly intelligent woman, Sookie always had two books
at her bedside and was always excited to learn something new and to share her learning with those
around her. This was evidenced by her endless devotion to continuing education at the University of
Texas. She wanted everyone to get involved in the community she believed in, volunteering to register
voters and supporting local elections. In New Orleans, she was a noted interior designer and a
passionate member of and volunteer for the New Orleans Museum of Art, the New Orleans Philharmonic,
and Congregation Chevrathilim. She also started the design studios of Hurwitz-Mintz Furniture and JC
Penny department stores. Sookie was a pillar of love and strength for her family and community. It is
up to each of us who knew her to keep her spirit in our hearts and her memory alive in our actions.
Sookie is preceded in death by her late husband Joe Weinberger. She is survived by her husband Jack
Seriff and by her children, Alan Weinberger, Sandi Hauser and husband Dr. Larry Hauser, Teri Riddles

000973 SMYKE Patricia Hungerford Smyke, 86, of Loomis Village, South Hadley, MA, died peacefully at
the Hospice of the Fisher Home in Amherst, MA, on Friday April 5th, surrounded by her loving children.
Born February 26th, 1927, in Bolivar, NY, she was the daughter of the late Amelia Odelia Gerringer
Hungerford and Frank G. Hungerford. Patricia earned her BA and MA in English Literature from the
University of Michigan and graduated Phi Beta Kappa. That was followed by studies at Oxford
University, which included a period of travel throughout post-war Europe in 1948. She was enrolled in
a Ph.D. program at Radcliffe College when she met and fell in love with her future husband, Raymond J.
Smyke. They had been married 51 years when Ray passed away in 2004. Ray and Pat lived in Boston and
Washington, D.C., before moving to Morges, Switzerland, where they spent 33 years. Pat worked in
Geneva for the League of Red Cross Societies, UNICEF, and the International Catholic Child Bureau. She
was the first woman head of division at the League, where she led the social welfare unit, in charge
of visiting and assessing conditions in refugee camps throughout Africa and Asia. Her work also
included leadership of the "Child Alive" program that promoted the use of Oral Rehydration Solution
packets to counter diarrheal diseases in developing nations, and she was instrumental in creating the
International Year of the Child, promulgated by the United Nations in 1979. The letters she wrote to
her family from these remote locations are treasured to this day, capturing conditions in camps from
South Waziristan to Somalia. Pat was passionate about language. She wrote essays and poetry, and was
an avid fan of crossword puzzles. She was also an accomplished pianist, a talent she inherited from
her father. She was a wise and loving wife, mother, sister, aunt, and grandmother. She is survived by
her seven children, Anna Smyke (Paul J. Marquis) of River Ridge, LA; Tina Van Ewyk (Robert) of

000976 SOLOMON Theodore "Teddy" George Solomon, Sr. of New Orleans, died peacefully at his home on
Sunday, April 7, 2013, surrounded by his loving family. He was 93 years old. Son of the late Najeeb
and America Solomon, Teddy was born in Port Arthur, TX on January 5, 1920 and grew up in McComb, MS.
He graduated from Louisiana State University with a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration
before serving his country during World War II as a member of the Army Air Force. After the war, he
returned to McComb, MS and married Doris Julia Carwie of Mobile, AL in 1949. They and their six
children relocated to New Orleans in 1969. Teddy's rise to become a pioneer of the film industry
began as a child when he worked in the silent movie house built by his father and uncle. In 1948 he
entered the family business, forming Gulf States Theatres. In his seven decades in the movie business,
Teddy owned and operated every kind of theatre, from indoor single screens, to drive-ins and stadium-
style megaplexes. A true example of the American Dream, Teddy worked hard his entire life, growing
his family's single movie house into multiple theatres and drive-ins spread across eight states. In
1975, he was elected president of the National Association of Theatre Owners, where he led the reform
of film bidding practices that continue to shape the industry. Teddy began the Louisiana Film
Commission, the entity that would ultimately help establish Louisiana as "Hollywood South." During a
lifetime worthy of the silver screen, this son of a Lebanese immigrant built a theatre empire, sharing
his immense love for the movies with countless others. But for all of the success he had in life,
marrying Doris was Teddy's greatest honor. Equally well-known for his philanthropy, Teddy
(affectionately known as "T.G." by his friends and family) supported several important local and
national organizations, including the Solomon Episcopal Conference Center, Variety Club, and the Will
Rogers Institute. He was happy to share his wealth in many different ways, from his endowment of the
Solomon Victory Theatre at The National WWII Museum, to his gift of the popular train ride at historic
New Orleans City Park. When Teddy wasn't working at his businesses or civic efforts, he enjoyed
Lebanese food, playing host to celebrities, dancing and fishing. Teddy was honored to receive a host
of awards during his storied career, including his selection to the Junior Achievement Business Hall
of Fame (1993), New Orleans Man of the Year (1996), ShowWester of the Year (2004), Junior Achievement
Lifetime Achievement (2004), and the Ogden Museum Lifetime Achievement Award (2010) to name only a
few. He also reigned as King Hermes XLIX (1989). He was a lifelong member of the Episcopal Church.
Teddy is survived by his beloved wife, Doris Carwie, and six children: George Solomon (Karen), Gloria
Carter (Stephen), Gladys Brown (Jim), Glenda Bradley (Jim), Gary Solomon (Martha) and Glenn Solomon
(Margaret). He also is survived by sixteen grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. T.G. is preceded
in death by his two sisters, Yvonne Solomon Thomas and Gloria Solomon. Relatives and friends are
invited to attend the Funeral Mass at ST. PAUL'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH, 6249 Canal Blvd., New Orleans, on

000981 SOULE' Joan P. Soule' Beloved wife of Evan R. Soule' for 57 years, she is survived by her son,
Evan R. Soule', Jr. and his wife Jennifer and son, Ian. The only child of Georgia W. and Clyde O.
Pricket, Joan was born in Beaumont, Texas and was a graduate of Stephens College in Missouri. She met
her husband while attending Soule' College in New Orleans, Louisiana where she later taught
secretarial and stenography courses. She also took extensive courses in philosophy from astrophysicist
Andrew J. Galambos of The Liberal Institute of Natural Science and Technology based in Los Angeles.
She later retired from Middle South Services, Inc., following a long career as Executive Secretary to
the Chairman-of-the-Board of that company. Following hurricane Katrina, Joan moved from New Orleans to
Hot Springs with her family. Knowing that life seems so fleeting, for many decades Joan always
carried with her an increasingly-frayed newspaper clipping with the following quotation that reminded
her of the mutual love she shared with her loving husband of 57 years: Togetherness "Death is
nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room. Whatever we were to each other, we still
are. Call me by my old familiar name. Speak to me in the same easy way you always have. Laugh as we
always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me." "Life
means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it always was. There is absolute unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of your mind because I am out of your sight? I am but waiting for you, for an
interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner. All is well. Nothing is past. Nothing has
been lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before -- only better. Infinitely happier. We
will be one, together forever.""" Graveside Services will be held at 2:00 PM, Friday, April 5, 2013,
in the Memorial Gardens Cemetery under the direction of Davis-Smith Funeral Home, Hot Springs. Guest

2006. He is survived by two daughters, Julie Surgi Anderson and her husband, Michael, of Callawassie
Island, SC; Mary Louise Surgi of Asheville, NC; and a son, R. J. Surgi, Jr., and his wife, Lisa, of
Dunwoody, GA. The extended Surgi family has several generations of nieces and nephews spread across
the country that lovingly remember their uncle Roy. In all his 96 years, Roy's sense of humor, gentle
nature, and his ability to make friends everywhere never failed him. His business card read, "Retired,
no money, no worries: available for conversation, coffee, and golf." He was fond of saying, "I never
eat much," just before he would clean his plate and look for dessert. True to his roots in old New
Orleans, Roy loved his Creole cream cheese for breakfast and hogs head cheese from Terranova's in his
grits; a trip to New Orleans was never complete without a well-stuffed ice chest. Roy came from a
long line of engineers and architects, who originally arrived from Paris in 1833. Those first Surgis,
brothers Louis and Eugene, worked on New Orleans's levee system and other engineering projects. They
also designed numerous Creole cottages. Roy's father, William Surgi, designed and built houses in the
5th Ward up until 1910, doing much of the custom woodworking himself from his home woodshop. During
World War II, Roy worked as a draftsman at Higgins Ship Building, where he drew detailed plans for the
PT Boats that were built there. Some of his drawings are being used today to help restore a PT Boat at
the New Orleans World War II Museum, one of Roy's favorite places to visit. He then served in the Navy
until the end of the war. After the war Roy worked many years in the telephone industry in New Orleans
and North Carolina. After retiring, Roy could always be found in his workshop, making stained-glass
objects, hooking rugs, framing pictures, and creating one-of-a-kind clocks. Many of his friends will
remember him fondly from his personalized clocks hanging on their walls. Roy always enjoyed his
efforts at golf, continuing to play into his nineties. He once came in first place in the Super
Seniors division of a tournament, admitting only when asked that he was the only one in the division.
He participated in the North Carolina Senior Olympics numerous times, often choosing sports that he
had never before played (bocce ball), particularly ones with the fewest participants. An ill-fated
bowling game at 92 ended his sporting career. The ball weighed as much as he did and won the battle of
gravity. Roy remained strong in his faith and was a member of the Cathedral of Christ the King in
Atlanta. A memorial service will be held at Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Church in New Orleans on
May 21, 2013, followed by the placing of Roy's cherished cookie jar containing his remains in the
Surgi family tomb in St. Louis No. 3 Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be
made either to the Halcyon Hospice Foundation, 1435 Haw Creek Circle, Suite 402, Cumming, GA 30041 or

enjoyed many of his creative passions: building his home from ground up, doing crafts, woodworking,
and craft shows, gardening and being in nature, rescuing and caring for his many, many cat "children"
and enjoying a simpler life. In 1993, he found "Home" in the woods of Hickory, LA. Many thanks and
much gratitude to the professionals and "Angels" at Hospice Compassus, particularly Margaret
Covington, who was his nurse. Her support and compassion for his final weeks were greatly appreciated
by him and his family. He asked that all that knew him would remember him warmly and kindly, speak
gently of him and wish him well on his journey with his Lord. He requested that there be no services,
except for close immediate family, and that his ashes be interred with his wife, Sue, at the end of
her days. May he have a safe journey to Paradise. He blessed us all by having him in our life and we
will surely miss him forever. In lieu of remembrances, plant a fruit tree in his memory. It will give
forth its goodness, as Larry did in life. May he rest in Peace. Services will be private. Bagnell &

001100 WEINNIG John Weinnig, Jr. was 93 years old when he died of natural causes on April 20, 2013. He
was born on February 28, 1920 in New Orleans as the first child of John and Agnes Louise Smith
Weinnig. He is preceded in death by his parents, sister Margaret Weinnig Weber, her husband Fred
Weber, Sr., his first wife Norma Rose Delatte Weinnig and his wife of 53 years, Vivian Marie Riehl
Weinnig. He is survived by: Catherine and John Morrow, sister- and brother-in-law from his wife
Vivian's family; his daughter Carolyn Rose Weinnig Crucia, her husband Joseph, their daughter Lillian
Carol Crucia Guilbault, her husband Beau and their children Lauren Rose and Justin Glenn his great
grandchildren, their sons Joseph Michael and Brian Lee; his son Michael Weinnig and his daughters,
Melissa Joslin and Alexis Marie; and his daughter Zee Ann Weinnig Mouton, her husband Jerome and their
children Celeste Marie, John Philip and Russell Thomas. John was a lifelong resident of New Orleans.
He overcame asthma as a child to become a track star while attending S. J. Peters High School of
Commerce and 'gitterbuggers' and earned a scholarship to LSU in 1938. He also loved sailing and became
a member of Southern Yacht Club at 18 years old, where he sailed in the Star and Fish-class fleets and
passed his love of sailing along to his nephews Fred Jr., Doug and son Mike. While at LSU, when he was
known as "Piggy", although he was as thin as a rail, he learned to fly planes and became a decorated
fighter pilot with 91 missions in World War II. After WW II, he tried his hand at being an artist on
Pirate's Alley in the French Quarter and running a florist with his boyhood friend Elroy Eckhart,
before he joined Reagan Equipment Company in 1952. As a sales engineer or a "peddler" as he would call
himself - he had found his calling - after 35 years of selling along the Gulf Coast, he retired from
Reagan in 1987. In the late 1950's, he and Vivian bought property in "the country" - Luling, to build
their dream house, which they built themselves with the help of his father, who was an electrician,
their nephews and children. In the early 60's he caught the golf bug, and was a co-founder and the
first president of Willowdale Country Club. He co-designed the golf course, community and amenities
with Roland Bernard and the club's first pro Everett Alleman. With many great friends he helped spur
the growth of the club through the '70's with celebrity golf tournaments involving football players
from the newly formed Saints, great Mardi Gras balls, seasonal dances, family events and junior golf
programs. As empty nesters, in the 1980's and 90's, he and Vivian led active lives as Saints season
ticket holders, RV travelers and someone to always have a project...two sailboats, one of which he
"rescued" by rebuilding in his front yard and christened it as "Cheers" and then donated it to the
SYC's Olympic Committee. After retirement, they moved back to Lakeview, on Milne Blvd., the same
street he grew up on and became devoted grand- and great grandparents over the next two decades. He
was a unique combination of common sense, intellect, optimism, style, wit, humility, ambition,
generosity and love. Memorial and burial services will be held at Greenwood Funeral Home at 5200 Canal
Blvd., New Orleans, 70124 on Tuesday, April 23rd. Visitation will start at 9:00 AM and will be
followed by a Service at 11:00 AM. Following the services family and friends are encouraged to join us
