Not sure what to say?

Dear Donna, It was with sadness that I heard the other day that Judge Ganucheau had departed for Heaven in February, 2024. I am sending you sincere condolences and with a big hug and much love. I shall always remember Judge Ganucheau and you, Donna, as the best neighbors for whom one could wish. My nostalgia for that time is strong, to say the least, and that's due to the happy memories of friends such as you and Judge Ganucheau. With best and finest wishes for your health and good...

As a new resident of this city in `72, this Prince of a gentleman went out of his way to make me feel welcome and at home. I shall never forget his kindness and caring nature. Milton Reese

Thanks Judge Ganucheau for taking a chance and hiring me in 1978 in the Clerk´s office. It help turn my life around.I worked with him off and on until 2022.He was great to work with. My prayers go out to Donna and his family. Rest in Peace. Mike Tranchina

Judge Ganucheau was a great judge who put the citizens of Louisiana first. He was responsible for Louisiana women getting just compensation in the Norplant Class Action. No other judge in the U.S. was able to do this. I will truly miss him and am grateful for having known him.

My prayers for comfort are said for Donna and family. Judge Ganucheau was an exemplary judge known for his fairness and knowledge of the law. He and I with four others spent and enjoyable five days canoeing down the Buffalo River shortly before we became judges. He was a dear friend and shall be deeply missed.

Judge Ganucheaux was a great person & Judge. I AND society, will miss him. He lived a long & fulfilling life.
