A lifelong resident of New Iberia, Glynn Joseph Reaux was born on January 21, 1951 to the late Willie and Louise Bennett Rouly Reaux. He proudly served our country in the United States Marine Corp. He formerly owned and operated Glynn's Grocery on St. Jude, and had the best BBQ in town. Glynn absolutely loved his grandchildren, especially playing ball with them. His favorite hobby was going to the casino, and he also enjoyed arguing with his younger brother, Bee, but what he cherished most was time spent with his family. He will be deeply missed.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a sister, Rosa Belle (Clifford) Tomplait; sister-in-law, Susie Ann Reaux; and brother-in-law, Ronald Aucoin, Sr.
Pallbearers will be Jason Van Duzee, II, Chad Duhon, Sr., Chad Duhon, Jr., Dean Courville, Dylan Courville, and Luke Courville.
