Amery was a lifelong resident of Gretna and served his country in the U.S. Navy during World War II and the Korean War. He later retired from the Piledrivers Union Local 1846 and worked with Boh Bros. Construction. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus Council 1905, Gretna Sportsman’s Club, V.F.W. Post 3121, American Legion Post 64, Gretna Historical Society, David Crockett Vol. Fire Department and the High Roller Bar. As an avid fan, he was one of the first Saints Football Season Ticket holders and did not miss a home game until very recently. He never met a stranger and was always willing to lend a helping hand. He will be sadly missed.

The family would like to express their gratitude to the Azaleas at Woldenberg Village, Lisa and the rest of the staff for their loving care and support.
