David Graci Obituary

David Michael "Sinbad" Graci, 64, of Metairie, Louisiana, passed into the arms of God Saturday, May 4, 2019. He was the beloved husband of Ana Graci for 38 years, Father of Michelle (Gabriel) Janusa and Katie (Andrew) Courville and the Grandfather of Austin, Kaitlyn and Emma. He was the son of Late Wilfred Joseph Graci and Anna Marie Landry Graci and is survived by his sisters Mary Ann Rando (Cyril), Kathleen Graci and his brother Ronald Graci along with many other nieces and nephews. David spent his career in the construction business as well known, highly respected framer, where he successfully framed countless homes in the Greater New Orleans area until he unfortunately became ill to a lung-related disease. For the last 30 years he battled this unrelenting disease, but Jesus had another plan that took him from us as he eagerly awaited a lung transplant. David was a man of many hobbies that included fishing, boating, hunting, and talking politics, but more importantly he dedicated his time and his life sharing moments with "French Fry" Austin, his "Hot Tamale" Kaitlyn and his "Little Monkey" Emma. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten. Relatives and friends are invited to attend the visitation at Greenwood Funeral Home, 5200 Canal Blvd, New Orleans, on Wednesday, May 8, 2019, starting at 12:00 PM, followed by a Funeral Mass at 2:00 PM. Interment will be private. In lieu of flowers, we ask that you please support American Lung Association. The family invites you to share your thoughts, fond memories, and condolences online, at www.greenwoodfh.com.

David, David,David!!!!!! My beloved ex brother in law! I will never forget the first time I met you when I was working at LIZ's CAFE. Wow that was so many years ago. I was just a baby back then , you always gave me such great advice. . One of my favorite memories is when you would take the kids and stick them in a pillow case! You would swing them around and all you would hear was laughter and giggles. You are a great father and great grandfather. I'm just so sad we lost contact 2 years ago. I always loved that you still considered me your sister in law after all these years. Rest easy brother in law. Shane is up there ready to have some fun! You will forever be loved and mostly respected by me. Definition of a great man. Till we meet again RIPKIM VICKNAIR VOGEL
