Born on July 24, 1932, in St.Martinville, Ulysses was a proud lifelong resident of the area who made significant contributions to his community through his work, faith, and friendships.

As a dedicated carpenter, Ulysses owned Las's Construction and Cabinets by Las, a testament to his craftsmanship and skill. He was particularly known for his impressive cabinet building and for constructing several homes that have become cherished parts of St. Martin Parish.
