Louis Cormier

Breaux Bridge - We mourn the passing of Louis Cormier, 96, of Breaux Bridge , a strong and able man, tending his crawfish traps into his 94th year. His strong physical constitution was dwarfed however by his high moral character, above all humility, decency and honesty. We would all do well to not only learn, but live, by his example. He is survived by his wife of 77 years, Euranie Dore Cormier, his son, Ralph Cormier, and his daughter, Velma Cormier Hebert.
