This is one person that you could say was passed down in our family! My parents cared so much for him, they passed that down to my husband and I. We in turn have passed this respect down to our children. He was special to all of St.Charles Parish. Last time I talked to him, under the oaks at a picnic table on the grounds of Destrehan Plantation. Heaven is better today!!

Charlie. . . may the Lord's Peace, Joy & Presence flourish through your soul in Eternity. Thank you so very much Mr. Charlie, for the hard work you put into all of our Ochsner Blood Drives. You fed them all; Together we brought those donors into your Saturday Blood Drives. Perhaps my own son Ben was one of the recipients of your hard work "Charlie Brown" Oubre. Surely you are one of God's special men! Gary La Bore
