Linton lived a long, happy life filled with many exciting experiences. He was an exceptional athlete at Golden Meadow High School who helped bring the football and basketball teams to many victories. Soon after graduation, he enlisted in the U. S. Navy and served during the Korean Conflict. Linton returned to his hometown of Golden Meadow and married Helen. He worked for Texaco for over 30 years, and he served as a Town Alderman for 32 years. Linton loved to draw cartoons and even designed several logos. He was active in the American Legion Anthony Griffin Post 259. Linton was instrumental in the creation and development of the South Lafourche Veteran’s Memorial District and served as President of the Board.
Because of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, a private burial will be held at Our Lady of Prompt Succor Catholic Church. A public memorial service will be held at a later date. The Doucet family thanks all who have offered sympathy and prayers.
