 He was honored with the first jazz funeral after Katrina on October 9, 2005, in the still largely-deserted city.The procession, led by the Hot 8 Brass Band, marched through the flood-ravaged remains of Leslie's old Seventh Ward neighborhood, starting out at Pampy's Creole Kitchen and stopping along the way at the location of the original Chez Helene.With his trademark captain's cap, lambchop sideburns, and broad smile, he was known as the Godfather of Fried Chicken.
