J.C. was a great friend of mine since our teenage years. Though I left Houma years ago, I always loved seeing J.C. at class reunions and, most recently, I was pleased to have my son meet him during a trip to Houma last summer. I will surely miss him; he was a good guy to a whole lot of folks.

So sorry to hear that J.C. passed away. He was such a delight coming visiting us at Habitat for Humanity most everyday that we opened. He was always friendly and very helpful in volunteering his service if we needed it. We will miss him so much. Rest in Peace J.C.
