Henry “Jr Boy” Gros Jr., 62, a native and resident of Four Mile Bayou, passed away on Sunday, Nov. 6, 2016.
Jr Boy was an “outdoorsman” in the true form. He loved to fish, hunt and frog. He lived off the land cooking what he caught, especially his fried fish. He loved to shoot pool. His family was very important to him, having company over to spend time and just talk. Spending time with his nieces and nephews, whether it was giving sweets or fixing the fishing poles, was a joy that could never be replaced. Jr Boy was a very giving person and touched the lives of everyone he came in contact with. He will always be remembered.
