Known affectionately as "Bubba" to friends and family, Alfred was a lifelong resident of Louisiana whose warmth and dedication touched everyone he met. His enduring work ethic was evident throughout his more than 40-year career as a butcher, where he served customers at Floyd's Grocery, A & P Grocery, Piggly Wiggly, and Delchamps. He made the best boudin for his family. He cherished spending time outdoors, whether fishing in Louisiana’s abundant waters or hunting in the quiet woods. A life rich in hard work, care, and love, Alfred "Bubba" Leonce Benoit, Jr. will be dearly missed. "In keeping with his loving and generous spirit, his final act of kindness was to give the gift of life through organ donation."
