Edward Poche, one of the oldest planters in the State, died suddenly yesterday from an attack of apoplexy at his home in this city, 721 Valmont Street. The body will be conveyed to St James Parish this morning and interred in the St Michael Cemetery at Convent. At the time of his death Mr Poche was 82 years of age.

At an early age he removed to the Parish of St John the Baptist, and afterwards he removed to St Charles Parish. He remained in St Charles during the last fifteen years of his life. About ten months ago he sold out his plantations and came to New Orleans with his wife and took up his residence in Valmont Street. Several days ago he complained of pains around the heart and yesterday afternoon he was stricken. For many years he engaged as overseer on the old Welham place. He was also Manager of the Angelena Plantation belonging to Mrs Goodbery, and also the old Hope Plantation. Many years ago he bought out the old Helena Plantation and sugarhouse in St Charles Parish and operated it up to three years ago. He was married to Miss Odile Perrilloux. One child was born to the union. His wife died in 1872 (sic). Several years later he was married a second time, his second wife being Mrs Marcelite Perrilloux Gendron, a sister to his first wife. Besides a widow he leaves a nephew and stepson, C Gendron, of Edgard, P.O. He is also survived by two brothers, Armand Poche of Iberville Parish, and Alex C Poche, of Baton Rouge.

A memorial mass celebrating Clifford's life will be held at a later date. Clifford Charles Roberts Jr. or "Robbie" was born on December 9, 1951 in New Orleans, Louisiana and after an extended illness passed from this life peacefully on August 13, 2020 at Carrington Place nursing home of Baton Rouge, Louisiana at the age of 68. Clifford leaves to mourn his death two siblings Alanna Roberts-Lal(Ram) of San Diego, Ca.; Cedric M. Roberts of Convent, La.; one uncle, Gilbert J. Weaver(Margie) of Powder Springs, Ga.; one aunt, Genevieve Roberts(John) of Convent, La. and a host of of other nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. Clifford was proceeded in death by his parents; Clifford Charles Roberts Sr. & Gloria Weaver Roberts of Convent, La.; grandparents; Louis Roberts, Sr. & Louise Abadie Roberts of Convent, La.; William Robert Weaver & Edna Agnes Weber of New Orleans,La.; step-grandparent; John Winston of New Orleans, La. Clifford started his education in St. James Parish and attended Romeville elementary, St. Joseph's and Cypress Grove schools. During elementary school, he was diagnosed as developmentally and intellectually challenged. He would continue to further his education by attending Louisiana's vocational training and special education programs. After completing these courses Clifford worked as an employee at Poche Perique tobacco and later at the courthouse in Convent. He took great pride in the time he was a volunteer fireman during his employment at the courthouse. After relocating to Lake Charles, La. Clifford worked consistently in landscape and lawn care and/or facilities cleaning services for many years until his retirement. Clifford was an avid Saints and LSU sports fan and on game days loved wearing his team hat(s) and sweatshirt(s) to cheer the teams on as he watched with friends. He enjoyed fishing, dancing, and getting together with family and friends to celebrate holidays, birthdays (especially his own birthday), and his favorite holidays to celebrate were Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and of course Mardi Gras. Clifford loved all genres of music but especially the hits of the 70's and 80's. He only needed to hear the first notes of a song and he would tell you name of the song, the band, and start singing the first verse with a broad smile as he did it. His favorite groups were KC and the Sunshine Band and the Commodores. Clifford was also a true fan of "good food" the Cajun and Creole cuisine of Louisiana. His favorites were Gumbo, Jambalaya, Crawfish Bisque, Boudin sausage, and of course Red Beans and Rice. When you visited with him he would always ask that you remember to bring him a dish of one of his favorites on your next visit. Clifford was a man of faith and enjoyed attending mass, praying the rosary, receiving communion, and visits from his church's deacon. He would often ask for the deacon to bring extra rosaries so he could give them to other residents at the nursing home. His faith comforted him during his most difficult and challenging times. His faith brought him peace. Clifford was a family man. Although he never married and did not have children of his own he was a devoted son, a beloved brother, uncle, cousin, and friend. He was always happy to visit with family and friends. The bond we shared and the joyful memories of celebrations together were permanently etched in his memory and in his heart. He enjoyed reminiscing of those earlier happy times, remained steadfast, and loved dearly all members of his family along with family friends. Clifford was special to all who loved and truly befriended him. He was outgoing, optimistic,caring, generous, courageous, persistent, and had a determination to overcome life's obstacles. His ability to be forgiving of others and his belief in giving second chances served as a role model to others. Clifford was definitely an incurable romantic and a bit of a flirt because he believed where love is concerned it was "never to soon and never too late" for love to find you. Because of his fun loving, caring, generous, and eternally youthful spirit, we will always remember him with love. We are grateful and feel blessed for all the years we got to share with him.
