Pookie enjoyed a simple life. He loved to represent his alma mater, Central Lafourche Trojans, watching Saints football and college basketball, and spending time with his family. He also was an avid catfisher and loved taking his boat out for a spin. Pookie enjoyed his time throughout his career as a driller for most of his life and a security guard after retirement. He was known for his larger-than-life personality and infectious laugh. Pookie never met a stranger because everyone he met became his “podna”.

He was preceded in death by his wife of 37 years, Mary Starkey Guidry; parents, HyPaulite “Lick” Guidry Jr. and Gail Cortez; sister, Sheila Crochet; and mother-in-law, Dale Buras.
