Ron Leclerc, the owner of Re-Bath in Baton Rouge, has died after a battle with cancer.

Leclerc's commercials not only promoted his business, but it gave us a little insight into his personal life: particularly as to how much he loved his granddaughter, Haileigh.

We've practically watched Haileigh grow up on television, talking about her "Pa-Paw's" wares with an enthusiastic smile.

Shannon and I had the opportunity to spend a week of vacation with Ron and his wife Janice, and I must say that they were a wonderful people.

Ron Leclerc was 62.

Our thoughts are with his family.
