Michael
Leone, July 1980
Michael
Leone, Winter 1976
Before Michael Leone passed away in the summer
of 2003, he asked that his friends, Helt Oncale, Milton Mary, and Larry
Lucas, spread his ashes on Lake Veret, Louisiana. Near Napoleonville,
Lake Veret is home to generations of Helt's family, the Oncales. After
Michael died, Milton flew to Wisconsin and received the ashes from Mike's
wonderful parents. He returned to New Orleans and safe-guarded them
until a time when the three friends could gather. During Katrina, Milton
evacuated with his wife, his Newfoundland, and Mikey.
In September of 2005, a month after Katrina
and a week after Rita, Helt returned from Germany and Larry drove over
from Texas. The three friends met and drove down to Napoleonville and
Lake Veret. As the sun set, they sent Milwaukee Mike on his way with
a bottle of Jack Daniels, a handful of red roses, and heartfelt renditions
of Amazing Grace and Will The Circle Be Unbroken.
The following photos of that day were graciously
provided by Milton & Melanie Mary.
