Vermilion Today (Abbeville, Gueydan, Kaplan, LA) - Thursday, May 30, 2013
Deceased Name: Enuel Joseph Hollier
December 25, 1921 - May 28, 2013
KAPLAN—Enuel Joseph Hollier died Tuesday, May 28, 2013 at the age of 91. He was a man of principle who stood up for what he believed. He was someone who was liked and respected by many, not only because he was fun to be with, but because he would go out of his way to do things for others. He was a man greatly admired, more than words could ever express.
Mr. Hollier owned and operated the Rainbow Lounge and Motel for over 20 years. After his retirement, he was well known for his homegrown tomatoes and cucumbers. He truly enjoyed following his great grandchildren at the sporting events they played while growing up. At the ballparks, he was affectionately known as "Pa" to all. Pa will be missed by everyone who had the pleasure of meeting him.
He is survived by one brother, Lloyd Hollier; one daughter, Dorothy H. and her husband, Pervis Lege; his four grandchildren: Carl Hollier and his wife, Julia Baudoin Hollier, David Hollier and his wife, Angie Gnau Hollier, Vivian Lege Leblanc, and Vicky Lege; his six great grandchildren: Joshua Hollier and his wife, Lindsey Lemaire Hollier, Scott Leblanc and his wife, Brooke Leblanc, Mitchel Hollier, Kyle Hollier and his fiancée, Emily Cormier, Courtney Hollier and her fiancé, Skyler Hargrave, and Leah Leblanc; and three great-great grandchildren, Brynn and Jaxon Hollier and Maddie Leblanc.
Mr. Hollier was preceded in death by his loving wife, Viola Herpin Hollier; both sons, Murphy and Jeffery Hollier; daughter-in-law, Mazie Lege Hollier; two brothers, Sidney and Milton Hollier; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Deussard Hollier; and one grandson, Randall Hollier.
The family will have a private memorial at a later date as Mr. Hollier donated his body to furthering the advances of medical science.

Hollier remains active in community service
Article Text:
Lloyd Hollier, son of Kaplan natives Deussaurd and Edia Breaux Hollier, has led a long and fulfilling life.
Born in 1926, T-Lloyd as he is affectionately known, was schooled in Kaplan until he gained employment at the City Service Refinery where he became a burner and welder tech in the ship yard.
In 1945, he was drafted to serve during World War II as a part of the Amphibious Army of Engineers.
After spending six weeks in San Antonio, Texas for his induction into the Army, he traveled to Fort Louis, Washington (located near Tacoma and Seattle) where he stayed for a period of two years.
The young serviceman avoided deployment overseas due to the war ended not long after his service began. However, the Army did send him to school to further his training in welding.
Upon discharge from the Army, Hollier continued his education at the Abbeville trade school.
After graduation, he had a difficult time finding a job.
By this point, he was married to Imay Harrington and needed a means to support his new family.
He took a leap of faith in 1950 and opened a grocery store in the front part of his house, located on the 500 block of Louisiana Avenue in Kaplan.
The business was appropriately named Hollier’s Friendly Store, and credits his 34 years of success to his friendly nature and people skills.
Lloyd says it is important for a businessman to be honest and good to his patrons.
“When you say something, make sure you can do what you say. Don’t just talk to talk. Sure, you can’t please everyone, but I was able to please more than I displeased,” he said.
The general grocery store included health and beauty items, and a meat market.
The measure of his success was displayed by having to expand his building four different times.
He explains, “Business was good, and I needed more room.”
When he first opened, the dimensions of Hollier’s Friendly Store were only 11x12 feet! By the end, his building grew to 60x120 feet.
In 1956, Lloyd moved his family out of the back of the store and into a house he built on the adjacent lot, which he still occupies today.
By 1984, the grocer retired and sold the building which was eventually moved from its original location.
Today, only the empty lot remains, serving as a reminder of days gone by.
Retirement did not necessarily mean slower times. He remained active by participating in many organizations and also by traveling.
Lloyd has been a member of the Lions Club since 1968 and became president in 1971. He has also served as secretary and treasurer for the club. He also sat on the board of the Eye Foundation, along as chairman of the club’s radio auctions.
Over the years, T-Lloyd brought many disabled children to Leesville as part of the Lions Club support of crippled children.
For his dedication in humanitarian services, Lloyd was awarded the Melvin Jones Fellow Award by the Lyons Club International Foundation.
In his hometown, Hollier has also been an active member of the American Legion, Knights of Columbus, and the ALP. With the American Legion and the K.C., and served as cook for many special occasions. He was also commander of the American Legion from 1986 to 1987.
Today at the age of 83, Lloyd isn’t as active as he would like to be, but he still manages to make the meetings.
In 1971, Lloyd became Kaplan’s Chairman of the March of Dimes, and later he became chairman for all of Vermilion Parish.
In the 1960’s, he donned the role of Santa Claus for the Kaplan area.
Every year, on Christmas Eve, Lloyd would fly out of Sonnier’s 28th Flying Service in Kaplan and fly over main street.
Townspeople would gather around to see the arrival of ‘Santa’. The plane would land on the other side of the old Richard’s Grocery Store, and he would then abandon his ‘sleigh’ for a convertible.
The crowds would watch with anticipation as Chris Cringle would make his descent down Cushing Avenue.
This tradition was a very enjoyable experience for Hollier and still treasures it today.
Other accomplishments include being named Citizen of the Year in Kaplan on three different occasions. He was acknowledged for his involvement in the Lions Club, Chamber of Commerce, and Cattleman Association.
Aside from cooking, one of his favorite hobbies was deep sea fishing.
Every year for Labor Day, his group of friends would take a boat out from Intracoastal City.
In 1969, Lloyd won a third place trophy for catching a 19 pound red snapper!
Lloyd recalls the fate of his trophy fish, “We ate every last bite!”
Interestingly enough, all three trophies that year were procured by passengers aboard his boat!
For the past 10 years, Hollier has also played host to residents of Hannut, Belgium as part of the Jumelage (twinning of the cities). He plans to open his home again in the future.
In regards to the Belgians, Lloyd remarks, “Although we’re all French people, they do not speak the same French as we do – but we can make each other understand.”
For now, Lloyd is determined to take it easy and relax. He has the time to reflect on many of his life experiences, including what has changed the most about the town he resides in.
He has found that the town has grown outward in land area. He also can recall when Kaplan had a booming economy with more industries – like when there were two new car dealerships in Kaplan, the existing Ford and also a Chevy dealership.
The highlight of recent years has been birthday cards he received from Presidents – on his 80th birthday he received a card from former President Bush. This year on his 83rd birthday, he received one from President Obama.
He is a proud life-long resident of Kaplan and can often be found out and about within the community.
He and his late wife, Imay, have one child, Brenda Hoffpauir.
