He also leaves behind a very loved and devoted partner in life, Helen Durst.
He was very proud to be a part of the LeMeilleur family of Kerrville; to share his life with his siblings, Bonnie Ward, Gwynne Fikes, Jimmy LeMeilleur, and many wonderful cousins. He was happy to share laughs, stories, and memories of his youth with his kids and grandkids.
Daddy Doc, as his grandkids called him, spent his free time fishing in the lakes and rivers of Texas.
