There are not enough words to express all that this man has meant to me. I have tried all of my life just to be half the
man that he was. He set the example for hard work, honesty, integrity and demonstrated on a daily basis how a true gentleman should act.He is my hero... but best of all he is my DAD!!! I love you Dad and don't you forget it.

Mrs. LeBlanc, David and Family,
Although I never met Mr. Johnny, I am sure I see him reflected in David who I appreciate very much for all our many years of work together. Let us pray that our heavenly Father's kingdom will come on earth as it is now in heaven. "Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice..." John 5:28

Thanks J.D. for being my Scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 38, Port Allen, LA back in the 50's. I learned so many good and moral lessons of what life was about and that I have used them in my life. I had so much fun under your guidance at Camp Istrouma, my first real trip away from my family. I remember how you held your head up so proudly as you walked down Georgia St. pass my home in Port Allen.
