Harold James Crappell
October 12, 1936 — August 17, 2017
Harold was the owner and operator of Crappell’s True Value Hardware Store in Patterson and Abbeville. He was an avid New Orleans Saints and LSU Tigers fan. Harold could fix and do anything; he was a true “Jack of all Trades”. He took so much pride in gardening and tending to his fruit trees; he was truly blessed with a gift for plentiful fruit and vegetables. Harold loved his family more than anything; he lived for family get-togethers, so he could pick on every single grandchild. He was “Dad” and “PawPaw” to so many, he will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him.
He is survived by his loving and caring wife of 59 years, Ruth Toups Crappell; five daughters, Jennifer C. Desonier, Lydia C. Bordelon and husband, Bryan, Stacy C. Beraud and husband, Chris, Mia Crappell and Haroldlyn C. Comeaux and husband, Marty; grandchildren, Mallory Comeaux Hutchinson and husband, Daniel, Aime Cormier and husband, Lance, Elise Desonier, Walter Comeaux, IV, Chad Beraud and fiancé, Abigail Ramirez, Mandy Darbonne, Charly Darbonne-Quinteros and husband, Wilver, Amelia Desonier, Eric Beraud, Alex Beraud and Marta Comeaux; great-grandchildren, LJ Cormier, Lilly Cormier, Ryder Quinteros, Juliette Hutchinson, Noah Hutchinson and Aiden Neisser; brothers, Huey Crappell and Clyde Crappell; and sisters, Lileta Horner, Rosalie Crappell and Gwen Lederfine.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Sidney and Beulah A. Crappell; son-in-law, Philip Desonier; brother, Gerald Crappell; and sister, Betty Jane Crappell Mellan.
