Many family members and friends visited him at St. Joseph’s.

Pompy was born in Reserve, a resident of Gonzales and was an electrician for 42 years at Kaiser Aluminum and Calciner Industries.

He enjoyed visiting family, spending time with friends, traveling, watching Saints and LSU football games and making people laugh. His humor resonated with everyone who spent time with him.

Pompy instilled values to his sons of family first, strong work ethic and willingness to help others in the time of need.

He was preceded in death by his parents, sister Katherine LaRousse and brother Wayne Williams.
