A. Kenneth LaCour, Sr.'s Obituary
A. Kenneth LaCour, Sr. passed away on Saturday, June 10, 2017, at East Jefferson Hospital following a lengthy battle with heart disease. He was born on Sunday, February 19, 1939, in Colfax, LA to Clarilou Dean and Arthur L. LaCour and has been a resident of St. Tammany Parish since 1959.
After starting his career at Prestressed Concrete in Mandeville, LA, Kenneth served as a Prestressed Concrete Specialist with both LADOTD and GEC throughout Louisiana and Mississippi. During one of his “retirement periods,” he drew upon his well-known culinary ability to serve as cafeteria manager for Saint Paul’s School in Covington and, for a period, as dessert chef for the Dakota Restaurant. He was an avid elk and deer hunter, spending many happy days in the Colorado Rockies.
The beloved husband of Judith Gill LaCour for 59 years, he is also survived by his son - Kenny LaCour, Jr. of Covington and three brothers – Steve of Shreveport, LA and George H. of Colfax, and Dorman D. LaCour of Boyce, LA. His parents and a son, Brian, preceded him in death.
