WILSON JOSEPH 'JACK' TASSIN

August 24, 1929 -October 9, 2015
Wilson “Jack” Tassin, 86, a native of Edgard, resident of Abbeville, and former resident of Morgan City, passed away Friday, Oct. 9, 2015, at Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center in Lafayette.
Jack was the most kind, generous, loving and unselfish person anyone has ever known. He was a devoted husband, father and grandfather that enjoyed every minute he spent with his family.
Jack loved music, gardening, hunting and fishing and never meeting a stranger. He could share some of the greatest stories from his past when he served in the U.S. Air Force during World War II. He will be sorely missed but never forgotten.
Jack is survived by his three daughters, Jackie Benson of Abbeville, Penny Crappell and husband, Gerald, of Morgan City, and Delaine Henry and husband, Mark, of Abbeville; one son, Randy Tassin of Abbeville; 10 grandchildren, Beth, Joseph, Jack, Mark, Casie, Nikki, Kelly, Mark, Maddie and Olivia; 10 great-grandchildren, Jillian, Luke, Alyssa, Zack, Emily, Alex, Morgan, Madison, Colin and Nate; one brother, Nelson Tassin of Mandeville; one sister, Adelene Melancon of Bayou Vista; along with a host of nieces, nephews and extended family.
Jack was preceded in death by his wife, Betty Jo Tassin; his parents, Francis and Cora Tassin; two children, John C. “J.C.” Sellers and Kathryn Sellers; and two sisters, Mildred Tassin Rios and Eveline Tassin Panvelle.
There will be a graveside service on Saturday, Oct. 17, 2015, in the Morgan City Cemetery beginning at noon.
