Her beautifully seasonally decorated door was open to all, with windows ajar, filling the neighborhood with the savory aromas of cuisine that challenged the very best of New Orleans' culinary icons. She always greeted with a big hug, sassy grin, the unfailing spicy humorous comment, and huge bowl of whatever happened to be cooking up in the kitchen. She never bit her tongue; she never backed down to anything or anyone, and she always "told it to 'ya straight" whether you liked it or not. You never had to wonder where you stood with her, because she was all too pleased to let you know. With her own rare breed of assertiveness, she was often too quick to criticize, but was also equally as quick to inspire. She cherished her latter life on Lake Pontchartrain, and savored the opportunity to both harvest from, and nourish, its waters. (Her Motto was "Feed the Lake", which meant all leftovers were ground up into meal to feed the sea creatures, bringing the happy benefit of some of the fattest, most delicious crabs in the region.) As a dear friend who penned much of her description also observed, "Now, when you hear thunder, it is probably Elsie giving God a piece of her mind about redecorating Heaven, or God fussing at Elsie's 'sailor' tongue." May you finally rest in peace at long last, our "Grand Dame Spitfire." Following cremation, her ashes will be privately interred by her children, per her request, with no memorial service to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation (Save Our Lake) are preferred and appreciated. Please visit www.honakerforestlawn.com to sign guestbook.

He would have been 52 on June 3. Alan grew up in Quincy, Massachusetts and moved to New Orleans after high school to stay with his best friend and brother, Tom. Alan was one of the many young people whose quick wit, hustle & drive, and zest for life made him a natural fit for New Orleans. Other than a post-August 29, 2005 sojourn in Baton Rouge (which he readily appreciated as the height of bizarreness), he remained a New Orleanian the rest of his life. After working at shipping industry favorite "Parker's at Canal Place" during the height of the 1980's oil boom, Alan branched out into becoming a bartender "par excellence" at various CBD, French Quarter, and Marigny venues. He was nimble, smart, and always fun to be around for customers and colleagues alike. Alan's exploits from Riverboat President days still make President alumni smile. His martinis from the Bombay Club were the stuff of legend. The quips he made from behind the bar at Feelings will live on in customer and staff minds always. Alan also earned an undergraduate degree in business from the University of New Orleans. He leveraged that degree into bookkeeping, environmental audit work, office management, and tax accounting. Alan also kept his hand in the hospitality game and for many years adroitly balanced both the "left and right brain" activities at which he excelled. In the 1980s and '90s, he supported his life partner Judy Latour in a convention entertainment business which employed the best talent New Orleans had to offer and trailblazed convention and regional showcases, locally and beyond. Musicians, theatre folk, bon vivants from all walks of life had occasion to meet Alan and become friends, to their everlasting gratitude. Alan conjured up inventions that should have made him millions. If any had hit big, he would have lived large, yet shared with all. Alan was a loving family member, a good friend, and a generous tipper. He was a pop culture maven who kept up with trends and whose admiration for David Bowie was learned and deep. Alan was the kind of guy who could encourage you to be a better person. He was a real fan of his friends and family. He lived, thought, and interpreted generously. He was preceded in death by his mother, Mary Dyer, and his longtime companion, Judy Latour. He is survived by his brothers Larry Dyer (wife Carolyn), John Dyer (wife Joanne), sister Susan LaPointe, brothers Gerry Dyer (wife Donna), Tom Dyer, and Philip Dyer (wife Julie). He is also survived by many nieces and nephews, as well as friends and caregivers, including Peter Horjus, Bill Rupp, and Linda Santi.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, August 8, 2013 from 9:00 AM until service time at Maria Immacolata Catholic Church, Houma, Louisiana. Mass of Christian Burial will begin at 11:00 AM at the church. Private burial will be held at a later date. She is survived by her only daughter Ellen Hagen Bunch and her husband Dr. Richard W. Bunch. Also sons Dr. David Lee Hagen and his wife Melissa, James L. Hagen III, Dr. Patrick C. Hagen and his wife Amy, and Matthew Hill Hagen and his wife Monique. She is survived by her brother Judge Benjamin Harrison Smith and his wife Lynn. She is also survived by 16 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. Virginia Hagen is preceded in death by her beloved husband Dr. W.J. Hagen who died in 2000, and her son Stephen Wallace Hagen who died at the age of 12 in 1971. She is also preceded in death by her parents Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Smith and one brother Cooper Smith. Mrs. Hagen, known locally as "Mrs. Ginny", was born in Waycross, Georgia to Benjamin and Maude Smith on January 3rd in 1932. She spent most of her life in Waycross, Georgia until leaving in 1949 after High School to travel to New Orleans to study nursing at Charity Hospital. Virginia was called upon to represent Georgia in the very first ever "Gator Bowl' which was in Jacksonville, Florida in 1948. Virginia was "Miss Georgia" in 1949. She was accepted into the Charity Hospital School of Nursing which she entered in September 1949. Her love of "hands on" nursing guided her career in order to touch lives. While at school, she met Werner John Hagen and they married on June 9, 1953. Virginia worked at Baptist Hospital on Napoleon Avenue and Touro Infirmary where she was a clinical instructor. With her growing family, she and her husband moved to Houma, Louisiana in 1960. While in Houma, she became involved with Sister Loyola who was sent to town to develop a home nursing care program for indigent families. Virginia always had several "adoptive families" and with the help of St. Vincent Society she was able to help the needy in the community. Mrs. Ginny was loved by many and was very generous with her time. She was dedicated to making life better for the less fortunate and loved family, friends, cooking and laughing. She never met a stranger. The life of being a true "giver" is that of a road less traveled. Ginny traveled this road which was a different and sometimes not so easy path of touching the lives of others. She was a parishioner with her husband for many years at Maria Immacolata Church in Houma.

He is also survived by a host of nieces, nephews, truly good friends and neighbors. Paul had the kindest heart, the best nature, and was loved and admired deeply by his family and friends. He was a wonderful man whose whole life was centered around his wife, being the best father to his two sons, and being the best "Pops" to his gandchildren. He will be greatly missed. Paul was a self-made businessman and President of Paul's Trophies from 1977 until his retirement. He was the head engraver for Jack Petty Graduate Supply House for many years. While at Jack Petty's, he taught many students from the public schools how to engrave and advised and helped others who ventured into the trophy business. He took great pride in engraving his plaques with various types of lettering and utilized an engraved diamond, which he designed, as a finishing touch. Prior to becoming an engraver, he was employed by Merck & Company and Hausman's Jewelers. He was also a partner in Mr. Trophy before opening his own business with his wife, Sandy. Paul was a past member of the Jesuit High School Dad's Club, Kenilworth Boosters' Club, Lakeshore Boosters' Club, N.O. East Businessmens' Association and North Shore Beach Homeowners' Association.

Paul enjoyed watching his two sons play various sports. He coached Little League Baseball, and was one of the originators of the Potato Bowl held annually at Kenilworth Playground. He enjoyed the Saints games, LSU football and baseball, and he had a passion for horseracing. He truly enjoyed his home on Lake Pontchartrain and the nature and beautiful sunsets that surrounded it. He felt like it was a little piece of heaven. In his younger days, he enjoyed going to his family's camp, The Setting Sun, in Little Woods on Lake Pontchartrain where he taught his sons how to fish and crab, how to catch soft shells, and how to enjoy a bye gone era. Paul and Sandy were avid travelers in their earlier years and made many lifetime friends in distant lands.The Heigle Family wishes to acknowledge and express their gratitude to Dr. Christy Graves and the entire staff of Canon Hospice for their loyal service and care of Paul, and for their love and kindness shown to both Paul and Sandy.

Alan adopted New Orleans as his home over fifty years ago when he and his family (father, Andrew; mother, Ernestine; and sister, Ruth) moved to the Crescent City. Alan grew up in Gentilly Woods and New Orleans East, attending W.C.C. Claiborne Elementary, Capdau Junior High, Kennedy High School, and Abramson High School (Senior Class President 1969). He attended Tulane University (B.S. Biology 1973) and began his lifelong profession of engraving and jewelry design. In 1982, Alan married Carolyn Nancy Odell, and the couple had two boys, Andrew Buchanan II and Alan Odell. Alan was a multi-talented, multi-faceted artist and scholar, with interest in photography, music, sculpture, graphic arts, mathematics, calligraphy, etymology, and nature. He was a member of multiple rock bands and choirs, including The Uptights, the Tulane Concert Choir, Madrigals, St George's Choir and Shades of Praise. He was a certified gemologist, and a member of the teaching faculties of Kennedy High School and Delgado College. Many of New Orleans's current engravers and jewelry designers learned their craft under the tutelage of Alan Hill. Alan's greatest achievement, in his own eyes, was his success in parenting his two sons, both of whom he loved with all his heart. Alan put aside his demanding career schedule to spend quality time with his children: fishing, hunting, art projects, gourmet mushroom hunting, and cooking. Alan had many gifts. He was highly intelligent. His mind was sharp, accurate, and able to appreciate great subtlety. He possessed an insatiable curiosity about all things and people. A widely traveled man, he possessed innumerable friends and acquaintances all of whom treasured their friendship. He was part of the heartbeat of New Orleans through his many accomplishments and connections with many of the city's most notable luminaries, especially in the music and art world. Alan always was present at the hippest events, and never missed an opportunity to be among the coolest and down-to-earth folks of the Crescent City. His presence will long be remembered.

Toni's candle blew out at 5:42 a.m. as the sun rose with both her beloved Mother and Sister at her bedside. Toni is the beloved daughter of the late Anthony Paul Alessandra and she is survived by her loving mother, Maria Giaccobe Alessandra, and her sister, best friend and lifelong pal, Nan Alessandra. Toni is also survived by a host of loving aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and former students - all too numerous to mention. It is hard to sum up a life well lived in a few words. But Toni's name of "Lovejoy" exemplifies what she brought to her family, friends, students, acquaintances and even strangers. Petrarch once observed in the 14th century that "Rarely do great beauty and virtue dwell together." Toni was that rare life example of both. She was a ten inside and out - captivating all who knew her with her boundless capacity to love and be loved, to make others laugh, and with her endless desire to do small things for others in any way possible to make them know she loved them. Toni never met a stranger and her affinity for reaching out to people knew no boundaries. Toni's short life was highlighted by many accomplishments as a professional dancer, performing artist and teacher. Before becoming a teacher, Toni excelled in all phases of dance and was Ms. Dance of Louisiana, tied for Ms. Dance of America, and performed professionally for many years. She was a charter member of the Delta Festival Ballet and enjoyed entertaining others, both on stage and off. As a teacher, Toni affected the lives of many of her students and was always found by students and their parents to be caring, inspiring and fun. She taught at the Giaccobe Academy of Dance for many years and was also an instructor for 25 years in the Fine Arts Department at Isidore Newman High School. At Isidore Newman, she choreographed numerous plays for the musicals and taught creative movement and dance to scores of students over her 25 year career. Toni's inspirational gifts in teaching were cut short by kidney disease. Toni fought valiantly and courageously, enduring endless trials and tribulations to get better. In her physical and mental suffering she seemed to find great solace and comfort in the Sanctuary of the Blessed Father Seelos Center in New Orleans. The healing masses of Father Seelos helped her return to the church and renew her faith after many years. She frequently went to the Blessed Seelos Center to pray and said she always found comfort with Father Seelos. Near the end of her life she was surrounded by so many angels as she went through the pain of dialysis and other physical trauma and sufferings. The family now wishes to thank those angels: Richard Rholdon, Paula Ketchens, Ellie Cunningham, and Drs. Julka and Caesar for going beyond the call of duty for Toni day in and day out. God saw Toni was getting tired and the transplant she hoped for was not meant to be. So he put his arms around her and whispered "Toni, come with me." With tearful hearts we watched her fade away. Although we loved her dearly, we could not make her stay. Her golden heart stopped beating, a wounded body came to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best. Toni truly was a joy to the world, and will be sadly missed by all who had the good fortune to know her. Family and invited guests are invited to attend the Memorial Mass at LAKE LAWN METAIRIE FUNERAL HOME, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd. in New Orleans, on Saturday, August 17, 2013 at 3:00PM. A visitation will be held at the funeral home beginning at 2:00PM.

God saw Toni was getting tired and the transplant she hoped for was not meant to be. So he put his arms around her and whispered "Toni, come with me." With tearful hearts we watched her fade away. Although we loved her dearly, we could not make her stay. Her golden heart stopped beating, a wounded body came to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best. Toni truly was a joy to the world, and will be sadly missed by all who had the good fortune to know her. Family and invited guests are invited to attend the Memorial Mass at LAKE LAWN METAIRIE FUNERAL HOME, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd. in New Orleans, on Saturday, August 17, 2013 at 3:00PM. A visitation will be held at the funeral home beginning at 2:00PM. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a charitable donation to a cause that helps people in the necessities and struggles of daily life and consider a contribution to the Blessed Seelos Center where Toni obtained many miracles and found comfort and solace.

Survived by his wife of 48 years, Roselyn (Rose) Hingle Mortillaro, he was the loving father of Anthony Vincent Mortillaro and Angela Rose Mortillaro. Near the end of his life, Vincent was surrounded by so many family and friends as he went through the pain of cancer and other physical sufferings. God saw he was getting tired so he closed his eyes, took his hand and whispered "Vincent, come with Me". With tearful hearts we watched him fade away. His generous heart of gold stopped beating, and his tired body came to a peaceful rest. Vincent joins his sister Carmella (Ann) Mortillaro in eternal rest along with his parents the late Joseph Mortillaro of Independence, LA and Angeline Rizzo Mortillaro of Kentwood, LA. A Remembrance of Vincent's life will be held at Garden of Memories Funeral Home, 4900 Airline Drive on Thursday, August 29, 2013 at 7:00 pm with visitation from 5:00 pm until 10:00 pm. Inurnment will be private. The family would like to express a special thanks to the employees of Hospice Compassus for their wonderful care.

(Mack) Rankin, Jr. of Dallas. Beloved husband, father, grandfather, and mentor, Mr. Rankin died peacefully on August 14, 2013, surrounded by his loved ones. A lifelong Texan, Mr. Rankin was born January 8, 1930. He took his first steps in Mineola, and lived briefly in Longview before settling with his family in his permanent childhood home in Gladewater, where he stayed until his early adulthood. Mack attended the University of Texas at Austin, earning a BBA in Accounting. He then proudly spent four years serving as a First Lieutenant, and eventually an Officer of Procurement in the United States Army during the implementation of The Marshall Plan while stationed in Germany after WWII. Mack was especially proud of his years in the service. He remained politically active his entire career, later becoming an aggressive advocate for effective governing of oil industry regulations. He learned the ins and outs of the oil business under expert tutelage at Hunt Oil Company, before teaming up with Jim Bob Moffett and the late Ken McWilliams to form McMoRan Oil, Inc. & McMoRan Exploration Company. In 1969, the company went public through exchange of stock with Horn Silver Mines and name changed to McMoRan Oil & Gas Company, a Delaware corporation, and listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 1978. Rankin, from 1968 to 1975 held the position of President. From 1975 to 1977, he served as Co-Chairman of the Board and Chairman of the Executive Committee. The team later merged with Freeport Minerals to become Freeport-McMoRan, while keeping McMoRan Exploration as a subsidiary company, and became the largest phosphate fertilizer and sulfur producer in the United States. Subsequently, in 1995, the company spun off Freeport- McMoRan Copper & Gold, Inc., which, in Indonesia, mines the largest known gold deposit in the world and the third largest Copper reserve, with over 15,000 employees. In 2007, Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold bought Phelps Dodge, becoming the largest publicly traded Copper producer in the world, largest Molybdenum producer in the world and a major Cobalt and Gold Producer with 38,000 employees. Because of his diagnosis and ongoing treatment for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, Mr. Rankin retired from active management in 1977, and continued to serve in the capacities of Vice Chairman of the Board and Consultant to the Company, and Member of the Board of Directors, Executive Committee and major shareholder until his passing. His directorships in business include seats on the boards of Freeport-McMoRan Copper and Gold Inc., McMoRan Exploration Inc., and P.T. Freeport Indonesia. He sat also as Chairman of the U.S. Oil & Gas Association. He was an active member of the Dallas Wildcat Committee, the Dallas Petroleum Club, the Texas Oil & Gas Association, and member of the All-American Wildcatters, where his annual roasts as The Big Gusher were highly anticipated. Mr. Rankin received numerous awards for his efforts in business and education. He was a great leader and philanthropist, passionate about educating the next generation of oilmen and businessmen and women. Mack will be remembered for his unique love of the University of Texas where he gave generously. He is recognized for his many endowments including the B.M. Rankin (Mack) Rankin, Jr. Professorship in Business Administration, the Athletic Department Scholarship, and the Head Football Coach Endowment. Equally passionate about the opportunities of college sports, he was asked to lead the fundraising campaign for the expansion of the Darrell K. Royal Texas Memorial Stadium. His efforts were immensely successful. He is a lifetime trustee of the Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity Foundation and past National Director of the same fraternity. Mr. Rankin's name prominently hangs over the entrance to the Longhorn Dining Hall, which he partly funded. He also endowed scholarships at Jesuit College Preparatory School, which his son Richard attended. Mack was recognized as an Outstanding Alumnus at both Gladewater High School and the University of Texas, where he was also inducted into the McCombs School of Business Hall of Fame. Past Chairman and longtime member of the Board of Visitors at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Mack brought comfort and hope to those with cancer. He served as an example of the successful advancements in cancer treatments, also known as one of the longest surviving patients in M.D. Anderson history. Mr. Rankin was the proud Co-Founder and Chairman of the Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Global Research Foundation, now nationally recognized by M.D. Anderson's inclusion in their far-reaching Moon Shots Research Program, one of only six departments of the Cancer Center so recognized. Profoundly missed and cherished, he will be most fondly remembered for his sharp wit, his dry sense of humor, and his biting sarcasm. A media favorite, Mack became well-known as the outspoken co-owner of the Texas Rangers during the baseball team's struggles in the early 1980s. Mack Rankin was a man of great integrity. He was a father to one, and a mentor to many. He was often sought for his sagacity, and inspired many to thrive in the face of challenge under his example of integrity, relentlessness, and perseverance. He is survived by his wife of 19 years, Ashley Scott Rankin; one son, Richard Rankin, two grandchildren, Hailey and Hunter Rankin; one stepson, Ashton Smith, stepdaughter-in-law, Karen Smith, two step-grandchildren, Samantha and Scott Smith, and one brother-in-law, Hammond Scott and his wife Wendy. He also leaves one sibling, his brother Sam Rankin. Also, profoundly affected by his passing are, among his close friends too numerous to list, his longtime business partner Jim Bob Moffett, and his Executive and Personal Assistant of 33 years, Shirley Raines. Rankin was formerly married to Opal Cook Rankin, of Gladewater, Texas. He was an avid bird hunter and fisherman who traveled extensively and enjoyed hunting expeditions with his wife and friends to Spain, Wales, Great Britain, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Scotland, as well as years of seasonal bird shooting in South Texas, Georgia, and other parts of the United States. Mack was a talented amateur golfer who played many tournaments throughout the years in his beloved Palm Springs, La Jolla, and Pebble Beach, CA areas. Mack enjoyed homes in both the Vintage Club and Eldorado Country Club for many years, playing in tournaments and everyday golf with his close friends, a pure joy. He held memberships in at least a dozen clubs nationally, including Brook Hollow Golf Club, Barton Creek, as well as Pine Valley Golf Club, where he and his business partner Jim Bob Moffett own a home. He served as Director at both Preston Trail and Pine Valley Golf Clubs. In his later years, Rankin enjoyed the many privileges of a successful business career, and spent much of his time traveling with his wife to exotic places to enjoy his favorite hobbies and life's finer things. Among his greatest life's pleasures was boating. His M/Y "I DON'T RECALL" was a particular pleasure for Mack and his wife from June 1st to September 1st cruising the Northeast from Manhattan to Nantucket, until the start of Football Season and Shooting Season. Among his many accomplishments, he was a licensed, badge-carrying Deputy Sherriff and subsequent Sergeant in Harris County, Texas, and Colonel for the Maricopa County Sherriff's Department Reserve in Arizona. He was a proud man, always eager to share his invaluable experiences, and recently achieved his longtime dream of completing his memoirs, entitled "Recollections of a Badass."

He learned the ins and outs of the oil business under expert tutelage at Hunt Oil Company, before teaming up with Jim Bob Moffett and the late Ken McWilliams to form McMoRan Oil, Inc. & McMoRan Exploration Company. In 1969, the company went public through exchange of stock with Horn Silver Mines and name changed to McMoRan Oil & Gas Company, a Delaware corporation, and listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 1978. Rankin, from 1968 to 1975 held the position of President. From 1975 to 1977, he served as Co-Chairman of the Board and Chairman of the Executive Committee. The team later merged with Freeport Minerals to become Freeport-McMoRan, while keeping McMoRan Exploration as a subsidiary company, and became the largest phosphate fertilizer and sulfur producer in the United States. Subsequently, in 1995, the company spun off Freeport- McMoRan Copper & Gold, Inc., which, in Indonesia, mines the largest known gold deposit in the world and the third largest Copper reserve, with over 15,000 employees. In 2007, Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold bought Phelps Dodge, becoming the largest publicly traded Copper producer in the world, largest Molybdenum producer in the world and a major Cobalt and Gold Producer with 38,000 employees. Because of his diagnosis and ongoing treatment for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, Mr. Rankin retired from active management in 1977, and continued to serve in the capacities of Vice Chairman of the Board and Consultant to the Company, and Member of the Board of Directors, Executive Committee and major shareholder until his passing. His directorships in business include seats on the boards of Freeport-McMoRan Copper and Gold Inc., McMoRan Exploration Inc., and P.T. Freeport Indonesia. He sat also as Chairman of the U.S. Oil & Gas Association. He was an active member of the Dallas Wildcat Committee, the Dallas Petroleum Club, the Texas Oil & Gas Association, and member of the All-American Wildcatters, where his annual roasts as The Big Gusher were highly anticipated. Mr. Rankin received numerous awards for his efforts in business and education. He was a great leader and philanthropist, passionate about educating the next generation of oilmen and businessmen and women. Mack will be remembered for his unique love of the University of Texas where he gave generously. He is recognized for his many endowments including the B.M. Rankin (Mack) Rankin, Jr. Professorship in Business Administration, the Athletic Department Scholarship, and the Head Football Coach Endowment. Equally passionate about the opportunities of college sports, he was asked to lead the fundraising campaign for the expansion of the Darrell K. Royal Texas Memorial Stadium. His efforts were immensely successful. He is a lifetime trustee of the Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity Foundation and past National Director of the same fraternity. Mr. Rankin's name prominently hangs over the entrance to the Longhorn Dining Hall, which he partly funded. He also endowed scholarships at Jesuit College Preparatory School, which his son Richard attended. Mack was recognized as an Outstanding Alumnus at both Gladewater High School and the University of Texas, where he was also inducted into the McCombs School of Business Hall of Fame. Past Chairman and longtime member of the Board of Visitors at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Mack brought comfort and hope to those with cancer. He served as an example of the successful advancements in cancer treatments, also known as one of the longest surviving patients in M.D. Anderson history. Mr. Rankin was the proud Co-Founder and Chairman of the Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Global Research Foundation, now nationally recognized by M.D. Anderson's inclusion in their far-reaching Moon Shots Research Program, one of only six departments of the Cancer Center so recognized. Profoundly missed and cherished, he will be most fondly remembered for his sharp wit, his dry sense of humor, and his biting sarcasm. A media favorite, Mack became well-known as the outspoken co-owner of the Texas Rangers during the baseball team's struggles in the early 1980s. Mack Rankin was a man of great integrity. He was a father to one, and a mentor to many. He was often sought for his sagacity, and inspired many to thrive in the face of challenge under his example of integrity, relentlessness, and perseverance. He is survived by his wife of 19 years, Ashley Scott Rankin; one son, Richard Rankin, two grandchildren, Hailey and Hunter Rankin; one stepson, Ashton Smith, stepdaughter-in-law, Karen Smith, two step-grandchildren, Samantha and Scott Smith, and one brother-in-law, Hammond Scott and his wife Wendy. He also leaves one sibling, his brother Sam Rankin. Also, profoundly affected by his passing are, among his close friends too numerous to list, his longtime business partner Jim Bob Moffett, and his Executive and Personal Assistant of 33 years, Shirley Raines. Rankin was formerly married to Opal Cook Rankin, of Gladewater, Texas. He was an avid bird hunter and fisherman who traveled extensively and enjoyed hunting expeditions with his wife and friends to Spain, Wales, Great Britain, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Scotland, as well as years of seasonal bird shooting in South Texas, Georgia, and other parts of the United States. Mack was a talented amateur golfer who played many tournaments throughout the years in his beloved Palm Springs, La Jolla, and Pebble Beach, CA areas. Mack enjoyed homes in both the Vintage Club and Eldorado Country Club for many years, playing in tournaments and everyday golf with his close friends, a pure joy. He held memberships in at least a dozen clubs nationally, including Brook Hollow Golf Club, Barton Creek, as well as Pine Valley Golf Club, where he and his business partner Jim Bob Moffett own a home. He served as Director at both Preston Trail and Pine Valley Golf Clubs. In his later years, Rankin enjoyed the many privileges of a successful business career, and spent much of his time traveling with his wife to exotic places to enjoy his favorite hobbies and life's finer things. Among his greatest life's pleasures was boating. His M/Y "I DON'T RECALL" was a particular pleasure for Mack and his wife from June 1st to September 1st cruising the Northeast from Manhattan to Nantucket, until the start of Football Season and Shooting Season. Among his many accomplishments, he was a licensed, badge-carrying Deputy Sherriff and subsequent Sergeant in Harris County, Texas, and Colonel for the Maricopa County Sherriff's Department Reserve in Arizona. He was a proud man, always eager to share his invaluable experiences, and recently achieved his longtime dream of completing his memoirs, entitled "Recollections of a Badass."

In his career, Dr. Ullah's research on the enzyme phytase is seminal. This enzyme, along with phosphatase, breaks down phosphates from the common plant material phytic acid. Phytase as a feed additive for simple-stomached animals, like chicken, allows them to digest phytic acid and, among other benefits, leads to less phosphate in farm runoff. Dr. Ullah's collaborative research in biochemistry improved agricultural and animal production while helping the environment. Civic engagement was important to Dr. Ullah. He served on the leadership of the Kingspoint Homeowners Association (KHA) in the late 80s and the New Orleans-based Bangladesh Friendship Society (BFS) in the early 90s. This civic engagement extended to cyberspace. Even before the era of blogging, from the mid-90s on, Dr. Ullah published much sociopolitical commentary online, such as on Mukto-Mona.com. Some op-eds were published in mainstream papers in Bangladesh (like The Daily Star). He also translated--most notably, he collaborated on a translation of the Sanskrit poem Meghaduta by Kalidasa. Music and gardening were Dr. Ullah's lifelong twin passions. After his Jhankar Studio days, music recording again resurfaced after 2005 as he volunteered as a sound engineer for the Artist Series at Trinity Episcopal Church in New Orleans. He was a familiar face at their all-night Bach Around the Clock spectacles year after year, as well as at various concerts around the metro area. He was active at his workplace Community Garden, which fed the hungry. At home, he grew a backyard garden, focusing more recently on citrus, exotic fruits, legumes, and hot peppers, many collected from seeds in his far-flung travels, such as India, Bangladesh, and south Florida. He is survived by his wife of 37 years, Mrs. Monowara Ullah, his sons Rashad and Riaz, his daughter Rima, and many relatives in the U.S. and abroad. Friends and family are invited to a visitation beginning at 11:30 a.m. on Sunday, August 25, 2013, at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd. A tribute to Dr. Ullah will be held at the funeral home at 12:00 p.m., to be followed by a Muslim prayer service. Interment will follow in Slidell. In lieu of flowers, the family asks donations be sent to either the American Heart Association or the Abul Ullah Memorial Fund of Phytase Research for the Lei Lab of Cornell University, where he spent one year after Hurricane Katrina and where his life's work continues Times Picayune 8/23/2013 **************************************** 000963 VALLEY JACK B.

Mark is preceded in death by his grandparents Richard and Alice Wagner and Charles and Mary Lou Wellborn and his uncle Barclay Wagner. Mark is survived by his loving wife of 30 years, Marguerite (Peggy) Rachal Wagner; son, Richard Myles Wagner (wife Melissa Russell), grandchild, Cameron Bradley-Wagner; son, Thomas (Tom) Sullivan Wagner; parents, Richard Morse and Madeline Wagner; sister, Carrie, kids Jessica, Bart, Allison; brother, Charles (Michelle), kids Hunter, Alex; and brother, John (Suzanne Bily), kids Barclay, Olivia, Liam. Mark was born on May 8, 1954 in New Orleans, LA. He graduated De La Salle High School in 1972 and graduated from Louisiana State University with a degree in Accounting in 1976. He also obtained a Masters in Education from The University of Southern Mississippi 1995. After LSU, he worked for Mobile Oil Company and lived in New Orleans, Abita Springs, and Covington, LA. In 1993, he moved to Pass Christian and taught at Pass Christian Elementary School. He was also the Pass Christian Parks and Recreation Director, and responsible for the construction of three multi-use baseball fields which are currently in operation today. After teaching, he moved forward in what he loved and began building residential houses, starting his own business, RM Wagner Contracting, Inc. His contracting company played an integral part in helping numerous Gulf Coast residents revive their homes after Hurricane Katrina, in Pass Christian and Bay St. Louis. Of the 35 homes he built before Hurricane Katrina, only four homes located in Henderson Point were completely destroyed. Mark thoroughly enjoyed life, especially with his family, with fishing, camping, and sports as his true passions. His favorite time to fish was Father's Day, which guaranteed that both sons and grandson would be fishing on an all-guys trip (just the fellas). As a long-time member of the Pass Christian Yacht Club, his devotion to fishing off the Yacht Club pier influenced its restoration long before it was taken by The Storm. As a true lover of the outdoors, he made annual summer (and sometimes winter) trips with his wife, family, and dog, Coco, to the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee, followed by a guy's trip to Florida with his best friend Brian (again, just the fellas). Mark was a true LSU fan and devout member of the "Who Dat!" Nation. He always made an annual pilgrimage to Death Valley, and if you knew him, then yeah, he was one of "those" LSU fans, and very proud of it. Of course, the next day, he would find a Sunday spot on the couch in the Pass to watch the Saints, with joy or without. In other traditions, he marched in the St. Patrick's Day parade in New Orleans, LA with his sons, green beer and crawfish boils aplenty, and was a member of the Krewe of Roux Mardi Gras crew in Pass Christian. Mark's voice, and loud personality, will always be remembered. Whether you knew him or not, he always captured the attention of an audience, many times at the expense of his family, with stories and laughter. He was everything that a Grandfather, Father, Brother, Son, Uncle, husband, teacher, and employer could be. Mark will truly be missed, not only by family and friends, but by everyone whose lives he touched. Visitation will be held Friday, August 30, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. at Trinity Episcopal Church in Pass Christian, MS with the service to follow at 11:00 a.m. Interment will follow at Live Oak Cemetery, Pass Christian.

In other traditions, he marched in the St. Patrick's Day parade in New Orleans, LA with his sons, green beer and crawfish boils aplenty, and was a member of the Krewe of Roux Mardi Gras crew in Pass Christian. Mark's voice, and loud personality, will always be remembered. Whether you knew him or not, he always captured the attention of an audience, many times at the expense of his family, with stories and laughter. He was everything that a Grandfather, Father, Brother, Son, Uncle, husband, teacher, and employer could be. Mark will truly be missed, not only by family and friends, but by everyone whose lives he touched.
