Craig and the entire Boudreaux Family:
My daily thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time of sorrow. Your Dad was always so kind and always smiling. I enjoyed talking with him on Sunday's at Mass at St. Catherine of Siena Church. He was really a sweet man and enjoyed life. His unconditional love for family and friends never went unnoticed. He will certainly be missed. May he Rest In Peace.
With Deepest Sympathy,

Deepest sympathies from The Wes and Judy Senior families. It is so hard to experience the passing of not only a beloved Uncle, but one more of our country's Greatest Generation. Love and to all the family.

My sincerest sympathy to the family. I am saddened to hear of the passing of Mr. Boudreaux. He and my Pepere Lucien were good friends for so many decades and it was always hoot when they got together. I remember one instance where my brother Thomas and I went crabbing with them on the sea wall at Lake Pontchartrain in the early 90s. Mr. Boudreaux was quick to point out, in joking way of course, how much better his catch was versus ours. He even offered to let us borrow his nets and have his space on the sea wall to improve our chances when he was leaving since our Pepere didn't know how to catch crabs :). In the years after my Pepere died, I was fortunate enough to receive Mr. Boudreaux's help in growing mirliton in Mobile. He gave my Uncle Gary a few for us to plant around 2009 and I am happy to report I have been fairly successful with them since. He and I would talk once a year for the next few years and I would bring him plants back to try to grow in Metairie up until around 2014 or 15. I am including a picture of the mirliton plant in his honor. While Mr. Boudreaux will be sadly missed, I know he will be remembered fondly by members of the Robert and Hubbell families.
