Paw was a lifelong parishioner of St. Eloi Catholic Church. He began his career as a helper and retired as an area manager from Louisiana Land & Exploration Company after 32 years of service. As a young boy, raised in a trapping and fishing family, he passed on his love for the land to everyone he met. As a lifelong outdoorsman and student of nature, he became a mentor and teacher to the next generation of bayou residents and family members. He was an excellent cook, farmer, and he was known as "Paw" to all the kids who came to visit. He was a loving husband, father and grandfather. He will be greatly missed by all whose hearts he touched.
