Another Hurricane Katrina Victim
A little over 2 years and 5 months after devastating New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina has claimed another victim. The storm destroyed his eastern New Orleans neighborhood and with it the life he had known for over 50 years. His health gradually declined since Katrina dealt her blow to the city and my father-in-law, Jack A. Quarles, Sr., passed on to eternal life on February 1, 2008 at the age of 87 years.
As he was a lifelong southern Baptist, my lovely wife Pam and her siblings decided to send him off with a Baptist service, presided over by Rev. Reggie Smith of Northside Baptist Church in Slidell. Most of you who read this did not know my father in law, but you might get to know his character by reading this eulogy that I delivered at his funeral.
