He was in the military & received a purple heart. It's still in my mothers china cabinet. I'm not sure if he received any other awards. He lost his hearing in the war & I know was shot numerous times. He lost his sight some years later when I was a young girl. His last few years I spent taking care of him as a young girl. ---Kristen Clark --- On Tue, 8/10/10, Paul L LeBlanc <pleblan@aim.com> wrote: From: Paul L LeBlanc <pleblan@aim.com> Subject: Re: [ACADIAN] Bourg Helen m Lawrence Daigle Lafourche LA To: acadian@rootsweb.com Date: Tuesday, August 10, 2010, 6:39 PM Something to get us started.    Again we are looking for more on  Valerie Hebert    ===========================  Daigle, Lawrence  -  1998-10-14  St. Joseph Cemetery at Thibodaux, Lafourche Parish, La.  Thibodaux Daily Comet on 1998-10-15  Lawrence Daigle; age 83, a native of Napoleonville and resident of Baton Rouge, who died at 9 a.m. Oct. 14, 1998 ; mass of burial celebrated Friday at Christ the Redeemer Catholic Church in Thibodaux; visitation until funeral time at Landry's Funeral Home in Thibodaux; burial at the St. Joseph Mausoleum ; father of Caroline Babin; brother of Jeanne and Murphy Daigle, both of Napoleonville; and grandfather of Tammy Ordoyne, Jason and Kristen Babin ; also survived by five great-great-grandchildren ; preceded in death by his wife, Helen Bourg Daigle; parents, Herbert and Lydia Daigle; brothers, Dennis, Eddie and Ursin Daigle, all of Napoleonville; and sisters, Hazel Daigle and Pansy Vicknair, both of Napoleonville ; U.S. Army World War II veteran and received the Purple Heart and European Medal of Merit; worked for Louisiana Power and Light Co. for 35 years ; Landry's Funeral Home of Thibodaux    =============================  Social Security Death Index  about Lawrence E.
