Dad You will be greatly missed. You did the best you ever could for your family. I feel for your presence everyday.
Ken was a customer when I worked at a lumber yard in Eunice. I remember him as a gentle gentleman. My sincere condolences are extended to Hilma, their children and his siblings.

"Kenny" was one of Charles Drew High Class of 1968 classiest. Friendly and fun, he and Hilma mad reunions fun at the "Man Cave". The last time we spoke, a few weeks ago, he was looking into a cruise or a riverboat ride for our 55th class reunion. He's gone to reunite with those gone before, and if we live the life he lived, we shall see him again. Blessings and love to you, Hilma and the Dupre family. Diana Washington Robinson
