James Joseph Bedore, Sr.
Memorial Services will be held at 1p.m. on Wednesday, August 4, 2021 in Delhomme Chapel of the Flowers for James Joseph Bedore, Sr., 84, who passed away peacefully on August 1, 2021, surrounded by his family.
Fr. Steve LeBlanc, Pastor of St. Basil Catholic Church-Judice, will conduct the funeral services.
Mr. Bedore, a long time resident of Lafayette, was the son of the late Judson Bedore and the former Margaret Goff.
Born and raised in Tupper Lake, James left soon after graduating Tupper Lake High School to begin his military career. During his time in the Air Force, James met the love of his life on the beaches of Biloxi, MS. James proudly served in the United States Air Force for 20 years and retired in 1976. Upon retirement, he enrolled in USL and was the oldest freshman in his class; a fact he found quite humorous!
In 1979, James graduated with B.S. in Business and entered the private sector as a meteorologist, where he once again retired in 1999. That gave James time to fully pursue his passions: golf and spending time with his family.
He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Marguerite Gail P. Bedore; a son, Timothy M. Bedore; grandchildren, Ethan P. Bedore and Madeline Claire Bedore; and canine companion, "Chewy" Bedore.
He was preceded in death by his son, James J. "Jimmy" Bedore II; parents, Judson Bedore and Margaret Duffy; sister, Mary Bedore Bennett; brothers, Glen Bedore, Roger Bedore, and Jerry Bedore.
The family requests that visiting hours be observed at Delhomme Chapel of the Flowers on Wednesday, August 4, 2021 from 10 a.m. until the time of service.
The family would like to thank the nurses and staff of Amedisys Hospice. A special thanks, as well, to their long-time Family Physician, Dr. Kenneth Spiller, and his staff, Keisha and Jill, for their constant support.
Personal condolences may be sent to the Bedore family at www.delhommefuneralhome.com.
Delhomme Funeral Home, 1011 Bertrand Drive, Lafayette, LA is in charge of funeral arrangements.

Glenn White
Glenn White passed peacefully on July 3, 2021, after a short battle with cancer. He was born on January 11, 1941 in Tupper Lake to parents Alfred and Elsie White.
He spent his youth in the outdoors, hunting, trapping, and fishing. He was also a pitcher for Little League (he kept the baseball from a “no-hitter” game of which he was especially proud), winner of the 1953 Soap Box derby, and on the high school baseball and basketball teams (one of his team photos is still on display in the former Swiss Kitchen).
He was one of Len Perry’s boys. He graduated from Tupper Lake High in 1958 and served honorably in the Marines for four years, before returning back to the States, eventually settling in Syracuse, N.Y.
He retired from Chrysler after 35 years and was thrilled to have more time to pursue his life’s passion – skiing. He has been described as an “icon” in the skiing community in Syracuse by his friends, due to his love for the sport and involvement in the Onondaga Ski Club, as well as being a supporter of the New England Ski Museum in New Hampshire. He was a member of the National Ski Hall of Fame and an associate member of the 10th Mountain Division, WWII Ski Troops.
He was a staple at the Labrador ski area outside Syracuse, and has kept every annual ski pass tied together, which he displayed with pride at his home. He loved photography, especially of nature, and won several local photography contests. He was an “on the hill” photographer for Lab, and his pictures appeared in their brochures. He also loved skiing at Whiteface in Lake Placid and Killington in Vermont.
He earned the nickname “Short Ski” as he often would use very short skis, which allowed him to make super quick turns, all the way down the slope. He was a ski historian and was an avid collector of antique ski equipment, much of which he donated to museums and other places for display purposes.
His lifelong love of the outdoors also resulted in him being a Boy Scout leader, taking troops for camping and hiking in the High Peaks. He spent his summer months maintaining trails for the NY Department of Natural Resources in central New York, particularly in the Tinker Falls area, near Labrador. He was a donor and supporter of the Wild Center.
He is survived by his daughter, Melissa Choudhry, two grandsons, his sister and brother Bette Lou Varden and Neil White, Neil’s wife Sandee, and four nephews and one niece.
Services were held in Syracuse, and he is buried in St. Alphonsus.
In his memory, he would want for everyone to “Think Snow.”

In loving memory of Thomas Richard Knoll, we will be holding a memorial service to honor his life at 11:00am on July 17th at the Long Lake Cemetery.
Tom grew up in Bayville, New York and studied mechanical drafting at Alfred University, where he met Lesley Mace. They married on July 2, 1966. From alpine skiing to Caribbean vacations, he knew how to live life to its fullest and brought joy and laughter to our lives.
Tom always loved building and fixing things. He and Lesley moved to Long Lake in 1985 where they ran several successful vacation businesses and the “Rock Shop.” They traveled the country in their RV, and eventually settled in Tucson for the winters. Together they enjoyed rock hounding, hiking, and exploring new places. But most of all, they loved being with each other, their family, and friends.
Tom is survived by his loving wife Lesley, daughters Michelle and Andrea, his grandson Alex, his two sisters Carolyn and Linda, and brother Jeffrey.
Most of all Tom wanted his life to be remembered for all the happiness, happy hours, and good times he shared with his family and friends.
