David E.

David also had an extensive ball cap collection.  His grandchildren gifted him many ball caps over the years. He enjoyed everything outdoors from hunting, fishing, and cooking to coaching and umpiring baseball games.  David’s greatest joys in life were his children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and especially the love of his life, Barbara.  His family and friends will miss him dearly, but rejoice in knowing he is celebrated in heaven.

He is survived by his loving wife of 59 years, Barbara Lemoine; sons, Joseph Dale Lemoine of Lake Charles and Joseph Vic Lemoine of Surprise, Arizona; daughter, Rachel L. Davis of Ville Platte; sister, Lucille McDaniel; 16 grandchildren; and 10 great-grandchildren.
