It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that the family of Harold Lee Foret, age 84, announces his passing on Sunday, January, 17, 2016 in Lafayette. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Saturday, January 23, 2016 at 11:00 AM at Our Lady of Queen of All Saints Catholic Church in Ville Platte. Burial will follow at Evangeline Memorial Park with Father Richard Vidrine, Harold's cousin, as celebrant.

Harold served in the United States Air Force during the Korean War. He was a lifetime member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Disabled American Veterans. He retired with the Louisiana Department of Highways and is probably remembered most as a bookkeeper for many local businesses. Harold enjoyed cooking, hunting, fishing and playing poker.
