Paul was preceded in death by his parents, Paul Frank Sr. and Aline Rodriguez; sisters, Josie Bercegeay and Mamie Cude; brothers, C.A. Hammet and Richard Rodriguez. A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, October 17, 2021 from 5pm till 8pm and will resume on Monday, October 18, 2021 at 9am until service at 11am at Ourso Funeral Home, Gonzales, La.
