Harry J. Gaubert Jr.

1946 - 2020

Harry J. Gaubert, Jr. passed away peacefully loved by his family and surrounded by his fellow service members on Sunday, November 22, 2020 at the age of 74. Devoted and loving husband of Patsy Gaubert for 55 years, beloved father of Terri G. Acosta, Marshall "Bubba" Gaubert, and Tracy L. Gaubert, adoring grandfather of 8 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren. He was born September 28, 1946 to the late Harry J. Gaubert, Sr. and Jeanne Gaubert. Brother of Jimmie Gaubert (Gayle) and Ralph Gaubert (Carol). He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews, other relatives, and many dear friends he considered family. Harry was a U.S. veteran where he served in the Navy. He was a jack of all trades until Vincent Caruso taught him how to open his own business and taught him the hot shot business. Harry truly enjoyed the long-lasting friendships he made while working at the airport as a hot shot driver. Some of his true friends that called him and never lost touch were Alvin and Mr. Charlie. Harry knew everyone, never forgot people, and knew no stranger. He was friends with many local and national celebrities but despite their status, he was treated as their equal. Harry's actions were his way of showing love and he made sure to take care of everyone he loved, especially his grandchildren. The family would like to give special thanks to the VA doctors and staff, especially Dr. Brian Lewis who kept him alive for 4 years and never told him no; Jeffrey and Makayi for making him smile and sharing hugs and treating him like family; Stephanie for making his treatments less painful; and Janelle S., for all the rides to the Seelos Shrine and allowing us to love her mom. Relatives and friends are invited to attend the Funeral Services at Garden of Memories Funeral Home & Cemetery, 4900 Airline Drive Metairie, LA 70001 on Saturday, December 5, 2020. Visitation will begin at 11:00 am with a Mass at 1:00 pm. Due to state guidelines, the funeral home is limited to 150 people and masks are required at all times.
