Dec. 21, 1939 June 9, 2016 Theodore J. (Teddy) Landry, Jr., 76, of Bridge City, TX passed away at his home on June 9, 2016. He was born December 21, 1939 in Port Arthur, Texas to Theodore J. (Ted) Landry, Sr. and Thelma Matthews Landry. He grew up in Groves, Texas where he played defense on the PN-G Indians football team and proudly graduated with the class of 1958. After completing high school, Teddy joined the U.S. Army where he served as a Staff Sgt. during the Cuban Missile Crisis. He was primarily stationed in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He continued to be a proud veteran and flew his U.S. flag from his home for everyone to see. He was a longstanding member of the Pipefitters Local #195 for 53 years where his father and brother, Danny were also members. He worked both as a pipe and CAD draftsman. Ted also worked and traveled in the construction business to Florida, Colorado, Massachusetts, Washington state and New York state. But, his passion in life was Harley Davidson motorcycles. He enjoyed riding them until his failing health no longer allowed that pleasure. He was preceded in death by his parents; two brothers, Bobby Earl and Danny Wayne Landry; and mother-in-law, Eula Hollier DeCuir. He is survived by his wife of 54 years, Geraldine DeCuir Landry of Atascocita; sons, Jeffrey and wife, Debra of Greensburg, PA and Richard and wife, Bethany of Rowlett, TX; daughter, Laurie Landry DeRouen and husband, Brent of Spring, TX; sister, Barbara Landry Hatcher of Dallas, TX; father-in-law, Dan DeCuir; brother-in-law, Danny DeCuir and wife, Rosie; and sister-in-law, Linda McFadden and husband, Murphy. He is also survived by his three grandchildren, Cameron, Zane and Taylor Landry and numerous nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews. Cremation was handled by Levingston Funeral Home in Groves and a private memorial will be held later by the family. Donations may be made in his memory to the Bridge City Volunteer Fire and Rescue, 300 Bland Dr., Bridge City, TX 77611 or the Wounded Warrior Project, PO Box 758516, Topeka, KS 66675.

Teddy, it's been forever and a day since we last spoke to one another. Growing up 2 doors down from you, Geri, Jeff, Richard & Laurie was a blast. You were a badass on a motorcycle and were as strong as an ox. Even though we lost contact all these years I still feel a loss in my heart from your passing. Prayers for comfort during this time of mourning. RIP

I remember you when you started dating my big sister, Gerry when I was only 4 years old. We have gone through 62 years of making memories; some good, some bad. We made it through fun times, new babies and bad times such as Hurricane Ike and family deaths and illnesses. You are no longer in pain. RIP brother-in-law.
