His jobs included Interstates 10 and 12 as well as many roads throughout the state of Louisiana. He was a man with a big heart who was very faithful and was willing to help anyone. He was blessed with a sharp memory and enjoyed telling stories of his past. His most prized possessions were his children and grandchildren. Paw Paw J was loved and adored by many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends who were considered family to him. Special thanks to Hospice of Baton Rouge for their excellent care these past 10 months and his faithful tribe of neighbors who were always willing to lend a hand. He would never refuse a good card game, a round of dominoes or a good vanilla malt. Please share memories at www.wilbertservices.com.
