His true passion was sports. Ree was an avid fan of LSU sports. Our own in-house expert, his knowledge and extraordinary details for all things LSU football was incredible. He also enjoyed playing golf.
His enthusiasm for grilling, especially popo ribs and worcestershire burgers, were enjoyed by all who were lucky enough to experience them.
Ree was a one-of-a-kind, genuinely funny, and loyal friend. His smile and presence will be missed immensely.
