LATTER<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Latter was a successful and accomplished businessman whose career was rooted primarily in real estate, where he became a respected and trusted partner. Known for his intelligence, creativity, and unwavering integrity, he was admired not only for his professional achievements but also for his modest, understated nature. Despite his many accomplishments, Latter was never one to draw attention to himself and preferred to let his work speak for itself. All who knew him relished his quirky sense of humor.<\/p>\n<p>He graduated from Fortier High School and attended Louisiana State University. A talented gin player, he spent much of his retirement enjoying regular gin rummy games with close friends. At the age of 79, his skill at the table was recognized on the world stage when he placed second at the World Series of Gin Rummy in Las Vegas.&nbsp;&nbsp;He loved music and traveled extensively throughout the United States and Europe to attend concerts.<\/p>\n<p>Latter embraced the Mardi Gras season wholeheartedly. Each year, he hosted a Mardi Gras celebration at Tujague\u2019s, welcoming family and friends to gather and celebrate the spirit and tradition of the season. Latter was a lifelong member of Congregation Gates of Prayer in Metairie, and will be remembered as a devoted father, loyal friend, and steadfast business partner whose warmth and wit left a lasting impression.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He was predeceased by his wife of 49 years, Eileen Pulitzer Latter, and his second wife, Jan Sullivan.&nbsp; He is survived by his daughters, Lisa Latter (Edward &#8220;Ned&#8221; Brown) and Cindy Latte; his siblings, Ann Light (Martin) and Jerry Latter (Linda) and a grandson.<\/p>\n<p>A private graveside service was held on Tuesday, December 16, 2025 in Metairie Cemetery with Rabbi David Gerber officiating. In lieu of flowers, memorials are suggested to Congregation Gates of Prayer, 4000 West Esplanade Avenue, Metairie, LA 70002.<\/p>\n<p>To view and sign the online guest book, please visit www.lakelawnmetairie.com<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\",\"Tumblr\",\"Email\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"Realtor%2C%20businessman%20Stanford%20Latter%20is%20buried%20in%20private%20ceremony\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[8790,8795,8788,14949],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90826"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=90826"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90826\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":90828,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90826\/revisions\/90828"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=90826"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=90826"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=90826"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
