The family would like to thank the staff and nurses at Bloom Bossier, Ochsner LSU ICU, and Bristol Hospice for the high level of care that they provided dad. Especially the staff at Bloom Bossier who made dad, mom, Romo, and our family always feel loved, welcomed, and well cared for.

In lieu of flowers the family requests that donations be made in his honor to the Alzheimer's Association and or the Louisiana Baptist Children's Home in Monroe.
