Jean Joseph Andre Blanc

Jean Joseph André Blanc was born on January 15, 1935, to the parents of the late Antoine Vincent Blanc and Nelly Ceans Blanc. He was the second oldest of ten children. André attended primary and secondary school at Saint-Louis Gonzague, he proceeded to pursue his studies in law and accounting.

For recreation André enjoyed music, reading, fine art, social events, beautiful beaches, the Art of Etiquette, fashion (he was referred to as GQ man). On September 7, 1957, he married Egerie Mercedes Jeanty. He is survived by his wife of 64 years and nine children. He was a hard dedicated worker and deserved the success, rich life he enjoyed. His attention to detail was contagious. Professionally, André never compromised his integrity. His kindness and generosity would be remembered by many who had the pleasure of meeting him.
