Joe Landry is a lifelong resident of New Orleans. He is the seventh
of eight children born of the marriage of Clare Birrcher and Dr. Wallace
J. Landry, Jr. Dr. Landry unexpectedly passed away at a young age, Joe
being only twenty five months old at the time. Mrs. Landry was all of
thirty-five years old when she was widowed with eight children. Joe's
mother taught all of her children to love life and to respect everyone.
Whether you call it the "equal dignity" rule or the "golden
rule," it is one in the same. Mrs. Landry taught through her actions
how to help others. She instilled a sense of integrity in determining
right from wrong as well as fair play in her children. She taught them
anything worth having is worth working for.
