Founder of Breaux Mart Passes Away

I never had the pleasure of meeting Mr. P. Paul Breaux, but he certainly did have an effect on my life. Mr. Breaux was the founder of the Breaux Mart supermarkets, and I worked as a bag boy and porter at his store on Severn Avenue in Metairie in the summer of 1974. That job gave me my first taste of working at a "real" job. I only got paid minimum wage as a bag boy (then $2/hour), but I did get $3/hour when working as a porter. That was good money back in the day.

Mr. Breaux passed on Monday. Blessings to him and his family.
