He had a passion for hunting duck and geese with his family and dear friends. Remembered for his amazing fried fish, his singing, his love for LSU sports, and his infectious sense of humor. Pop rarely missed an opportunity to attend a sporting event for his grandkids and always greeted everyone with a smile. He was a giant of a man in every sense of the word, genuine as they come, and his large presence will be missed by so many.
