Freddie "Kermit" Lancon

Freddie Lancon, 61, a lifelong resident of Morgan City, passed away Wednesday, April 29, 2009 at Teche Regional Medical Center. He was a Catholic by faith. Freddie was a workaholic and a perfectionist and was helpful to many people. Being a family man, he loved and enjoyed his children and grandchildren. He told a good story and was a practical joker on many who knew him. He loved a good joke, as well as crossword puzzles, 50’s music, especially Conway Twitty and Billy Joe Royal, and baking, especially mini-ha-ha cake. In his more then twenty five years of law enforcement, Freddie was well respected as an officer.

He is also survived by a stepson, Richard Firmin Jr. and his wife, Christin, off Dallas, Texas, and a stepdaughter, Regina Firmin of Morgan City.
