August 30, 1950 — August 31, 2007
"Bubby" finally found peace and passed over to eternal life at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Lafayette, Louisiana on Friday August 31st. He suffered a stroke in 1995 and fought valiantly until suffering a heart attack and developing congestive heart failure. Bubby, 57 passed away in the presence of his loving family.
He will be sadly missed but remembered fondly with a smile and love by all who knew him.
Bubby was born and raised in Mouton Cove and always had a great love for hunting and fishing. He started out as an oil field welder and then became a self- employed welder. Although his vocabulary was limited following his stroke, you were sure to get a "Hey!" and "Aw Yeah!" any time he saw you around town.
