Pops was a loving and amazing husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. He carried on his father-in-laws Native American traditions for years in his memory. Pops was a hard-worker that made sure his family never went without, and he instilled that same work ethic into his children and grandchildren. Pops never met a stranger and could go on for hours with stories of his endless adventures over the course of his life, often repeating his stories just in case you may have missed a detail the first time. Pops loved his extended work family at ERA / Bristow and Wilson's Oysters. A big part of our hearts left with Pops, but his legacy will continue on through his children, grandchildren, and everyone that knew him.

The family would like to thank the Dularge Fire department, Acadian Ambulance, staff of Terrebonne General CCU unit especially nurses Adrian and Jeff, respiratory therapist Rochel, Dr. Kohal, and Dr. Paulk in the ER Department.
