Cuevas’ Quotes
by Ellis C. Cuevas
I was saddened this past week to learn of the death of Mr. Henry Lang, Sr.
Mr. Henry’s relationship with my family goes way back in years. When he was a teenager he worked along with my late father and my uncle, Monroe Cuevas, at the LeBlanc’s Grocery in Bay St. Louis. The store was owned by the parents of the late Mrs. Ina Piazza, who also worked at the store.
I also can recall, as a student at the St. Stanislaus Back School, when Mr. Henry owned and operated the grocery store at what is known as the ‘Five Corners’ in Bay St. Louis. Also his twin daughters were born one day before me.
Mr. Henry was a ‘fixture’ for many years at Mr. Scharff’s Jitney Jungle in Bay St. Louis as a market manager before his retirement.
