LAFAYETTE

Born in Beaumont, Texas, on Jan. 4, 1938, to Hubert Oscar and Viola Marie Savoie, Donald Gene Savoie passed from this world on Aug. 12, 2018, at age 80.
He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Alice Faye, and his two children, his daughter Rebekah Denise Goodall and husband, Michael Goodall, and his son, William Lloyd.
Donald loved to read, to laugh, to talk, and always sought to make those around him feel more comfortable. He loved sports and enjoyed instructing Little League baseball and football teams as a coach.
A 26-year employee of Shell Oil and and Air Force veteran, Donald was able to retire at age 50 and spent his remaining years with Alice, the love of his life.
Together, Alice and Donald were able to travel together across America and Europe. Donald loved art, specifically the paintings of Vincent Van Gogh brought him immeasurable joy.
Donald was happiest with the simple things: dinner with his family, a good book, or the songs of Merle Haggard. Those who remember Donald will remember him for his generosity of spirit, easy laugh, and sparkling personality.
Memorial services will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 12, at 11 a.m. in La Chapelle de Martin & Castille. Visitation will begin one hour prior to services.

RAYNE - A Service of Remembrance celebrating the life of William Dale "Bill" Dunigan, age 68, of Rayne will be held on Tuesday, September 11, 2018 at 7:00 PM in Gossen Funeral Home Chapel, Rayne, during which friends and family will be invited to share memories of the ways in which Bill touched their lives. A Gathering of Friends and family will precede the service on Tuesday, September 11, 2018 from 4:30 PM until service time in the funeral home.

Bill passed away on Saturday, September 8, 2018 in a Lafayette hospital.

A true rebel at heart, Bill enjoyed spending time outdoors. Whether riding his Harley-Davidson motorcycle, or in his truck with his seatbelt unbuckled, Bill lived life on his own terms. He was a kind-hearted and patriotic man who valued friendships and family above everything. Bill's greatest joy in life was opening his heart to his many friends, all of whom he considered family. He was lovingly known to his family as "Pa Bill".

Bill was a well-loved member of the Rayne community for many years, where he worked as an operator for the City of Rayne Water Department.

Survivors include his daughter, Kerry Dunigan Courville and husband, Aaron of Lafayette; sister, Jean Dunigan of Lafayette; brothers, Jerry Dunigan of Sulphur, and Don Dunigan of San Francisco, CA; grandchildren, Barbara Broussard, Gavin Broussard, Anthony Broussard, Gwendolyn Broussard, and the Johnson girls, Kaitlyn, Kelsi, and Kaila. He will also be missed by a host of friends.

Preceding Bill in death were his companion of many years, Barbara Leger; and parents, Leland Carl Dunigan, and Vivian June Hanson Dunigan.

Condolences may be expressed online at www.gossenfuneralhome.net.

Services have been entrusted to Gossen Funeral Home of Rayne, LA.
