Earl “Pops” Guillot

September 11, 1942 – January 21, 2022

Earl Joseph Guillot died Friday, January 21 at his home in Walker, Louisiana. He was surrounded by his family that supported him after a long struggle of health issues. Earl Joseph Guillot, nicknamed “Tiny” as a child, later tacked on was “Slow Poke” from trucker friends, and now “Pops” from all grandchildren, and most that know him. He attended St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church and Elementary School in Echo Louisiana, served as altar boy under the direction of Father Martinis, and graduated from Fifth Ward High School in Marksville, Louisiana. His interest in printing later took him to commercial newspaper web offset troubleshooter in the Louisiana and Texas areas. A friend introduced him to road construction riding with him delivering materials by dump trucks. That was the beginning of a new career that lasted until his health caused retirement. Was a great ride he loved! The highlight of his life was his family. His joy was his grandchildren and great grandchildren. He will be missed by all that loved him.
