My friend for more than 40 years, Sammy Nunez died this week. He was a giant in Louisiana politics for all those years, and served as president of the Louisiana Senate for some 15 years. I can’t recall an election of mine where Sammy was not there in full support. He was with me in good times and bad, and I have always appreciated his friendship. Sammy and I have stayed in touch long after political life. I heard he was hospitalized and I made a trip this past weekend to Oshner Hospital in New Orleans. Sammy was sleeping and full of a number of tubes. I stayed for an hour to visit and remember in my mind the many campaigns we went through. I left him a long note, but he never regained consciousness. Sammy”˜s funeral service will take place this week at St. Louisiana Cathedral in New Orleans with the Archbishop presiding. I will be there to pay my final respects to a true friend. See story of his life by Clicking Here and in the video below.
