Obituary

"For we know that ifour earthly house ofthis tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of

God not made with hands, eternal in the heavens."

II Corinthians 5:1

Earl Alphonse Landry was born January 13, 1924 in Belle Rose, LA to the late Corrine Williams Landry and Alphonse Landry. He was educated in the Belle Alliance School System. After serving in the Army and getting married he moved to New Orleans, LA.

He was employed by Orleans Parish School Board for over 30 years. He was a self-employed cab driver for ED's Cab Company for several years. Upon retiring from ED's Cab Company he owned and operated Landry's Limousine Service.

He was united in holy matrimony to Mildred Julien, on March 8, 1945 and to this union they were blessed with three children. He was a devoted husband and father.

While in Birmingham he attended Sunday School at the Morning Star Baptist Church pastored by Reverend Lawrence Gaines, and fellowshipped at the New Beginning Full Gospel Church, under the leadership of Bishop Pyle until his health failed. In spite of his terminal illness and being displaced, he continued to acknowledge his faith in God and had a determined mind to live until the Lord called him from labor to reward.

To cherish his memories, he leaves a loving and devoted wife of 62 years, Mildred Julien Landry; one son, James Earl Landry (Linda) of New Orleans, LA; two daughters Barbara Marie-LandryDavis of Albion, MI and Carol Ann Landry displaced to Birmingham, AL; one,adopted son Nathan White of Port Arthur, TX; three grandchildren Landrea Renee Davis of Redford, MI, Dr. Gia Marie Landry of Baltimore, MD an<l Easton Breaux of Atlanta, GA; four sisters-in-law Lillie J.

Also he will be missed by his Masonic, Birmingham, and Michigan families along with his adopted nephew, John Messina, of New Orleans.

He was preceded in death by his mother, father, five brothers; Edward and Isaac Landry, Clarence, Cleveland, and Joseph Narcisse and one sister Gertie Joseph Winder.

Altho your smiles have gone, Andyour hands we can not touch; We thank Godfor precious memories;
Ofthe one we loved so much; It breaks our hearts to lose you
But you did not go alone; For part ofus went with you , the day God calledyou home; God knows how much we'll miss you Your memories shall neverfade; Our thoughts will always wander, To the spot where you are laid

Life'sJourney
When the Cords of affliction Have you tied up in knots When the trails of the world Make you question your lot
Remember, Life is a Journey That we all must pass through
But Jesus will guide you For he passed this way too
