Nunu was a Sargent in the U S Army until 1960. While serving in Germany he met and married the love of his life, Maria. After serving our country, they moved to Chauvin and raised their family. He worked in the oilfield but then found his true passion of shrimping. In 1983 he built his final trawl boat the Lady Maria which he was the Captain until his retirement.
After retirement, he enjoyed gardening, working outdoors and sitting on his swing and visiting with his family and friends.
The Robichaux family would like to thank Haydel Memorial Hospice for the great care for his last days here on earth.
Chauvin Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of Julius Robichaux.
