Mr. Larry J. Broussard was born in Jennings, LA on October 26, 1948, to the late Mr. Leon Broussard of Lowery, LA and Ms. Edith LeBlanc of Illinois Plantation, LA. As a resident of Addis, LA for 42 years, Larry was very active in that area. He was a member of the VFW and an Addis Volunteer Firefighter. Larry gave much of his time to the Baseball Park. In his spare time, he enjoyed bowling, swimming, entertaining any friends and family, and always cooking a great meal. Nothing brought him more joy than being around his favorite daughter and grandchildren. A loving family man whose memory will be cherished in the hearts of those he leaves behind.
