An original member of the Autocrat Club and a devoted parishioner of Corpus Christi Catholic Church. John was a Master Carpenter, a skill passed along from his father John Sr. His hard work and attention to detail brought him into many homes to perform his intricate woodworking. He would ride the city of New Orleans to point out homes he spent months and sometimes years renovating. His stories and accomplishments were amazing. His proudest accomplishment of all is the home he built for his family. John and Collette married on December 27th, 1956, and moved into this home where they raised their 4 children John III, Joni, Jan, and Joy. John's favorite pastime was socializing. Socializing by any means via phone, porch, truck, garage, or McDonald's. His visits always meant a good laugh with a possibility of a prank to follow. He also had a vast knowledge of good "reasonable" eateries. We will miss you Daddy, Johnny, Uncle Pretty, Meathead. John leaves to cherish his memory his devoted daughters Joni Norris and Joy Doucette, brother and sisters Theyon Lieteau, Edward Doucette, and Edith Richardson, son-in-law Dwight Norris, daughter-in-law Joyce Doucette, grandchildren John Doucette, Marquez Doucette, Dwayne Mitchell and Yoshi Lindsey, lifelong friend Oliver Badon and a host of Nephews, Nieces, and Friends.
