Memories and Condolences
for Emile LaBranche

Dr.Labranch was a caring person and a great doctor. I was very young at 40 years of age and began to develop certain symptoms. To be on the safe side he ordered some test just as he would say just to make sure. The results showed that it was cancer. As his patient, had he not ordered this specific test I wouldn't be here today. I was a fairly young man with 3 small children. While in the hospital awaiting surgery, I looked up and who do I see ? Dr. LaBranch. He cared for me and I'm quite sure hundreds of others also. Every day I am grateful to him. I'm 60 now and I share his name every chance I get to whoever will listen. I've met several doctors since Katrina, and none were as caring and friendly as he was. Surely he was a God send in my life.

Karen:
You and your family have my deepest sympathy on the loss of your father. I knew your Dad only by name and reputation, but that was all I needed to tell me that he was obviously a highly respected person who contributed greatly to the the betterment of others. I know the pain of his absence will not disappear in a hurry, but perhaps memories and experiences will sustain you through this difficult period of adjustment. I will keep you in my prayers, and I hope your recovery from all of this is speedy and somehow heartening.

As the society photographer for the Times Picayune from 1989-2004, I knew Mr. LaBranche from the many organizations to which he belonged, two of which were STUDS and Original Illinois. Often he was my contact person for the annual Mardi Gras ball. He was always such a kind and gentle man, and I always looked forward to working with him. I offer my sincere condolences to his family.
