The son of Rita Morvant and Joseph Taylor LeJeune, Bobby was born on January 16, 1923 and grew up in New Iberia, LA. He enlisted at the young age of 17 in the Navy and proudly served his country on the USS Bulter during WWII. He worked at Schlumberger in Broussard for 43 years.

Jr.(Gay), Kenny (Ginny), Steve (Christine), Joey (Debbie) and Scott (Martha), daughter, Renee' Hutto (Greg); 12 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

He willed his body to LSU School of Medicine fulfilling his desire to help those who remain on earth and his wishes were honored.
