Huey retired from Ingalls Shipbuilding after 34 years and began his landscaping business, along with managing his rental properties. He and Jackie were best known for their Woodcock Christmas Display in Long Beach during the 1980’s and 1990’s. 

He enjoyed spending time with his family, especially at the Pass Mardi Gras Parades because he loved Pass Christian. He also loved coaching and watching his grandchildren play basketball.

If you asked Huey what the “P” stood for in his name, he would gladly let you know it stood for “Poor”. One of his grandsons was named Pierce after him and said he was 13 before he knew it stood for Pierce. 

He was quite a character and will truly be missed by all who knew and loved him.

Visitation will be held from 11:00 am until 1:00 pm on Saturday, June 15, 2024, at Riemann Family Funeral Home, 19130 Commission Road, Long Beach.
