Clarence Simoneaux Jr. Obituary (1943 - 2020)

Clarence Simoneaux, Jr. was called to eternal rest on May 11th, 2020 at the age of 76. He was born on September 6, 1943 to the late Clarence Simoneaux, Sr. and Amelia Stewart Simoneaux. Dickie, as he was affectionately called, was more than an uncle or brother; he was a father to everyone he encountered. Clarence's faith in God was formed at a young age. He was baptized by the late Rev. F. Alexander. Clarence worked at Avondale shipyard as a sandblaster/painter for over 20 years until he moved to Dallas, Texas. There he became a custodian for the Richardson ISD School System. He remained employed there for 15 years, then he retired and moved back to Louisiana with his sister, Norma Lee. Dickie was a loving and caring man that loved sports. He did not have a favorite team because he watched every sport that came on TV. He loved arguing with his nephews about who he thought would win the games. Dickie was a great babysitter too. He spoiled all his nieces and nephews and their children as well. He will be missed as the trash-talking, loud-mouth, swearing about everything, loving man he was. Dickie told you right from wrong and made sure you heard him too. He could be heard from a mile away. Clarence leaves to cherish his memory his sisters: Melba Louise (Ben) Buckley, Ruth Nell Butler, Norma Lee Rapp, Gloria Mae (Norbert Sr.) Paul, and Sarah Ann (Macklin Sr) Domino who took pride in caring for him until his final moments; aunts: Bertha and Mary; an uncle: Bernard Simoneaux; 1 godchild: Radley Jay Gordon, Sr., and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents Clarence (Buddy) Simoneaux, Sr. and Amelia Stewart Simoneaux, his brother Sherman Simoneaux, and his sister Rose Mary Gordon. He will surely be missed by everyone he crossed paths with.
