Mr. Udofa was a loving husband, father, brother, uncle, and leader within his family. But more importantly he was a very generous man who lived and loved to help others, and as a result impacted the lives of many. He loved tennis, planes, the LSU Tigers, and the New Orleans Saints. He was loved deeply by his family and friends and will be dearly missed; but never forgotten.
