To Mr. Pappy's Family~~
May your cherished memories bring you comfort and peace. Your father touched so many lives. Mr. Pappy inspired and personally guided my son from the time Tim was at Nicholls State. Mr. Pappy's love for his profession and inherent desire to help people were paramount. Tim always knew that he was blessed to have Mr. Pappy as his mentor. What a privilege!
With deepest sympathy,

Jane, Marty, and Bumpy, along with the entire Triche family. It was such a shock this morning at mass when I found out that Mr. Pappy had gone to be with Our Lord. Your father was a gem of a man and a special friend to the Rotolo family. My brother and I are all that remain of the oringal family and we want to express to you our deepest sympathy.

Pappy Triche was a distant relative (as told to me by my mother, Lorna Jean Gilbert Sander and my grandfather Sabin Savoie Gilbert). I never met the gentleman but I do remember nothing but good comments about him as a man and legislature.
My condolences to the Triche Family.
