Ronald A. Perault Sr.

Ronald Ashton Perault Sr., a native of Baton Rouge and a resident of Port Vincent, passed away Saturday, December 8, 2012 at the age of 77. He was a retired assistant director of graphic services at LSU and a member of the Knights of Columbus. Ronald was a Eucharistic minister and a member of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in French Settlement. He was often heard quoting the shortest verse in the Bible, “Jesus wept.” (John 11:35). He loved the outdoors, family gatherings and serving others. He cherished his family, and taught them how to love and laugh. Family is what he did best. In his passing to eternity, he taught us how to do so with dignity, love, hope and confidence in Christ. He was a loving husband, father, and the best Paw Paw ever, and will be truly missed by all that knew him. He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Margaret Louise Matherne Perault; children, Ronald Perault Jr. and wife Laura Lea, John Michael Perault and wife Donna, David Perault and wife Jennifer; Lydia Perault Reynerson and husband David, Rose Perault Curtis and husband Paul, and Jim Perault and wife Gay; Grandchildren, Jessica Perault, Michael Perault and wife Phoebe, Jennifer Ducote and husband Brian, C.J.
