ALBERT BACARISSE III

12/07/1931 - 11/11/2023

-

Our loving father left this world at 9:10 AM on November 11 in the Fort Worth home of his daughter, Judy. Graveside service will be at Rosewood Memorial Park in Humble, Saturday, December 2, at 11 AM. Our family appreciate­s the love and attention of the Rex and Mary Brown Family, lifelong friends to Albert and Bettie.

Albert was moved to write his own obituary, shared in part below. To view it in it’s entirety, please visit brownowens­brumley.com. My time here was good, and I feel I left it in good standing. Born on December 7, 1931, in Houston, Texas to Albert and Jeanette Bacarisse. I was fortunate because they were good parents. I can’t leave without thanking my grandfathe­r, Albert L. Bacarisse,

Sr. He was a great positive influence on my life.

I liked to tell new acquaintan­ces that I met my wife, Bettie Proctor, while we were in Show Business together. She sold tickets and I popped popcorn at the Garden Oaks Theater in Houston. Our life together began when we married on December 16, 1949. It was a good 70 years. Our family grew with the birth of our son Louis in 1955 and daughter Judy in 1957. We were blessed with seven grandchild­ren and five great grandchild­ren.

On Christmas Evening, 2019, I lost my precious wife, Bettie, only a few days after our 70th anniversar­y. What a hole that was left in my remaining time.

I leave the world with my loving grandchild­ren who are destined to change this world: Nick, Sam, Bonnie, Bailey, Betsy, Chris, and Rachel and their families. You all, along with my son Louis and his wife Holly, daughter Judy and her husband Tobe, have been a shining light in my life. My love and thanks to you all. May we all meet again.
