Willment Ambrose “Lap” Lapeyrouse, 91, a native and resident of Morgan City, La., passed away Thursday, Sept. 17.

A long time resident of Morgan City, Willment was best known as “Lap the Barber” by his friends and customers. He practiced his profession from 1936 till the age of 87. Lap enjoyed visiting with his customers and is remembered for his quickness and precision cuts. Flat tops were his specialty. Lap loved hunting and fishing. He enjoyed his seaplane and shrimp boats. His family will remember all the seafood and barbecue gatherings. Lap knew how to fix anything and if he didn’t he would continue until he figured it out. He never gave up and never stopped. He often would say, “tomorrow will be an even better day”. Truly it is for him today. For us he will be sadly missed.
Visitation will be 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 19, at Twin City Funeral Home with the funeral service officiated by Father Noas to follow. Interment will be at Morgan City Cemetery.
Twin City Funeral Home is in charge of the arrangements.
