What a great guy and principal. Even though, I was only at Mandeville Jr. High for one year before going to the new jr. high, Mr. Sylvest was a great educator. My condolences to the family.

I will never forget Dickie. He took me under his wings my freshmen year at Louisiana College. There were many days he gave me council on how to be a college basketball player. His suggestions were right on. I will miss his warm smile and friendship.
May You Rest in Eternal Peace. Your friend.
