Captain Ronald William Foret, 70 years old, passed away on Monday, February 24, 2020. Survived by his beloved wife of 50 years, Judy Guidry Foret. Loving father of Shannon (Andrew) Pitt and Kristi (Daniel) Simon. Proud grandfather of Heather (Lance) Morello, Samuel Pitt, Hudson and Scarlett Simon. Proud great grandfather of Cecilia and Claire Morello. Son of the late Robert Foret. Sr. and Charlotte Nast Foret. Loving brother of Bobby Foret, Gerald Foret, Debbie (Roland) Orgeron, Donna (Scott) Stansbury, Darlene (Bob) Johnson, Tricia (Butch) Oddo, and Darrell Foret. Preceded by his sisters, Carol Foret and Elaine Foret, and brothers, David Foret and Danny Foret. Also survived by a host of nieces, nephews, and long-time friends. He recently retired in 2017 after a successful career sailing around the world as a Captain in the Merchant Marines for approximately 25 years. He then worked as a Pilot/Mooring Master with LOOP Deep Water Port for 27 gratifying years. He lived a full and vibrant life. He grew up in the Irish Channel boxing and developed a love for playing pool. Ron was known as a pool shark til the day he passed. He raced cars and collected Harley Davidsons and vintage automobiles. He loved to sail, whether it was his personal sail boat or a massive oil tanker while at work. He appreciated music and loved to play the harmonica, guitar, and piano. If he wasn’t cooking, he was tending to his yard and keeping it beautifully landscaped. He had a brilliant mind and knew something about everything. He was truly a unique and beloved man. His biggest priority and passion in life was his family. He loved his wife, children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren unconditionally and fiercely. He always said, with tears in his eyes, “We are so blessed and have a beautiful family.” “I’m so proud of my family.” He touched many lives and influenced many with his strength, generosity, humility, and compassion. He lived a healthy and happy life up to the day he passed. He will be truly missed.
