A Tribute from His Children Our daddy was a man who made ordinary moments unforgettable. He loved deeply, laughed loudly, and lived fully. Whether he was telling a story, offering a helping hand, or just sitting nearby with that familiar grin, we always felt his presence. He was strong and caring, someone who carried both wisdom and happiness wherever he went. Daddy taught us the beauty of simple things: to enjoy a home cooked meal, how to tell a great joke, how to treat people with kindness, and to always say "I love you." He had a unique way of making you feel like the most important person in the room, even if all he did was smile. His love didn't need to be loud, though often it was, it was steady and true. We'll forever cherish the sound of his voice, the look in his eyes when he was proud, and the way his laughter filled the room. Though our hearts are broken, we hold tightly to the legacy he leaves behind: a name worth honoring, memories worth treasuring, and a love that will never fade. With all our love, Lara, Larry "Chock," and Erin Online condolences can be given at www.samartfuneralhome.com Samart Funeral Home of Houma, LLC is in charge of arrangements.
