L.P. what a wonderful man. Loved hanging out in town with him. Never a time when he didn't have a hug for me. Cherished memories seeing him at every town event.

Madisonville,
Uncle LP was one of the sweetest and most easy going people I have ever known. I remember growing up trick-or-treating in Madisonville and we always had to stop by his place by the ballpark to say hey. I never saw Uncle LP without a smile on his face, no matter what life threw his way. Hurricanes and Tropical Storms would hit Madisonville, his house would flood, and shortly after he'd be outside cleaning up, getting ready to fix everything again. When he moved to the apartments by Target he would always come up to the house and tinker outside with dad. He had to be doing something and the two of them would laugh and talk and stay outside working on whatever project they had for the day. I always said I wanted to be like him. He was one of the most happy-go-lucky people and always had such a youthful spirit. He constantly worked to serve his town, was known and loved by everyone, and lived each day to the fullest. I am so bless Sweet Man. You were and will forever be loved by those who have had the honor of knowing you.
So many memories we have of LP. From Mardi Gras mornings, New Years day oysters, and sipping a beer at T-Rivers. You will be truly missed LP. Our thoughts and prayers are with Tracy, the family and the community...Mike and Charlotte Binnings
My heart is broken. I have such great memories about Mr. LP. such a kind, generous gentleman. So many nights he tolerated our "flag/dance" team antics. I truly loved and respected him. Tracy, Brian and kids: keeping you in prayer love to all.

LP had such a sweet spirit, always a kind word and warm smile. The youngest ole guy I'd ever known. I'll miss seeing him around Madisonville.
I used to say, "I want to be like Mr. L.P. when I grow up." What a great man. I met him out at T Rivers and we danced many a dance out there. He used to come up to my beer window for his Miller Light. He was one of Rosie Knight's favorite people. He was a favorite of many residents in Madisonville and he will surely be missed by hundreds. Rest in Peace, Mr. L.P.
"Weesie"
