LaRose Family
Keith and I grew up together in Pines Village in New Orleans. We were next door neighbors. We had many fun times together playing sports at Digby Park playing baseball and soft ball for Immaculate Heart CYO! We also spent many days playing wiffle ball in my backyard, singles doubles and triples! Had to hit the ball pass a certain spot in the yard to make one of the above to score and yes we were serious about the score! Seems like yesterday! His parents were the best Mr Bill was always taking us to ball games around the city to watch Jesuit and Holy Cross! Miss Joyce use to take us to NORD baseball games and bring water and snacks for us. It was a great childhood in the Village. Keith and I kept in touch for awhile then Hurricane Betsy hit , the family moved and we kind of went our separate ways, but would see other from time to time! Keith was a great friend during our time on E. Laverne St.
So sorry for your loss, know that Keith and your family are in our prayers!
