He was a devoted member of the First Baptist Church of Houma, where he and his wife found a community that reflected his faith and values. They spent many years teaching two year olds Sunday school. Buddy enjoyed collecting coins, he was an avid reader, and enjoyed traveling with his wife. All who knew Buddy and Mary, knew they opened their home with love and care fostering many. Buddy's legacy will be cherished by children, Melissa Valure (Ricky), Patti Deroche (Jim, Kristi Soignet (Joe), Ralph Bergeron and Kevin Bergeron (Gretchen), as well as his 16 grandchildren, 40 great-grandchildren and 4 great great grandchildren, siblings, Pat Sagona, Carol Hebert (Erwin),and Norman Bergeron all of whom will remember him for his love, kindness, and gentle nature.

In this time of grief, we invite those who loved Buddy to share together in remembrance, as we reflect on the many joyous memories shared and the love that will forever bind us. May he rest in peace.

The family would like to thank the staff at Terrebonne General Health Systems for their care, compassion, and medical expertise, The Oaks of Houma for their continued care for Buddy, and St. Catherine Hospice for making Buddy comfortable in his last days.
