Hey Dad, We all miss you and your great sense of humor. There is good and bad in everyones life but I am choosing to remember the good. All of the great camping trips, fishing trips and the general love of nature that could only have been taught us by a boy from the bayou. Thanks Dad

I was saddened to hear of Uncle Hilton's passing. He had such a wonderful smile and was so smart. We enjoyed your visit years ago after we had our first child. I remember how much fun my parents had then. May his memory give you comfort.

So many wonderful memories of my "Parran". Remember how we said he and Dad reminded us of "the Odd Couple"? He knew just what buttons to press to get Dad all riled up. It was really funny to watch. Glad they got to visit together in the last few years. Parran will always hold a special place in my heart.

Uncle Hilton was a great man. He was smart and witty and wasn't afraid to show it. I wish I could have seen him more these last few years. I was very glad I was able to see him on his 80th birthday celebration. He will be remembered and he will be missed.

My prayers and love go out to Aunt Margaret and all of my cousins.

Sorry to hear about Hilton
I was a classmate and friend of Hilton
at Jesuit High School and also at Loyola. I was with him when he met his wife to be at a dance.
We would go fishing together.
