Curley J. Breaux

Curley was a United States Navy veteran having served in World War II. He retired from Texaco as a machinist after forty-five years of service. Curley was a member of St. Therese, The Little Flower of Jesus Catholic Church. He enjoyed his boat and taking his nieces and nephews for rides, travelling in his motorhome and traveling internationally with his wife. Curley’s love for his friends and family came naturally. He will be remembered as a loving and generous soul and for his love of family.
